Big Bear Renaissance Fair

[Nikolai Sklobovsky]

Last Saturday I had a chance to visit Big Bear Renaissance Fair.
This year it was held on the premises of the Pederson Mill, in Fawnskin.
Me, my daughter Helen and my friend Kirill spent about 4 hours there, from 10am to 2pm.
Needless to say I took a few pictures. Below are the excerpts (from ~1,600 total

1. Blue Knight:

2. Blue Knight Attacks:

3. Sword Fight:

3. Imperial Knights

More: selected, all

Hi Nik,

I like #3 the best considering the light was directly over head ;-q.

What camera lens combo were you using? very sharp....

What fun Nikolai!

Sorry I wasn't there! You seem to get the dramatic fires, the Civil War reenactments and now the jousts very well. However, aren't there also pretty women with flattering dresses?

Nikolai,

How is it I knew you were holding out on me? Great fun! I didn't see any timetable or event schedule on the website? Could we see everything on Sunday or is it different things each day?

Anyone else from L.A. thinking of going?

Asher,

it's right on the front page:

When: August 11, 12, 18 & 19, 2007, Saturday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Sunday 10 a.m to 6 p.m.

Jousting is 12 am and 4 pm.

When you arive and purchase the ticket, you'll be also given a timetable sheet.
And yes, Sunday and Saturday should be almost identical.
