The Maryland Renaissance Fest is currently underway and if you have never attended it you should try and catch it. (click here for info.)
As great an event as the Renaissance Festival is however, it always brings up a bad memory for me. This is the event I have discussed previously where my son Brady wandered off and was “lost” for what seemed like an eternity. He was eventually found not far from where I realized that he wasn’t with me. He was sitting on a hill with a nice couple who shared cotton candy with him.
In looking for Brady, I had made a long lap around the Festival amidst all the folks laughing and partying. I remember having this awful feeling that he had been abducted. The memory of the Lyons sisters was still fresh on my mind (click here) as I searched the crowds looking for Brady.
In the years since I have never been back to the Festival. Ironically, Brady has been back several times.
Here is an excellent article on the costumes you will see folks wearing at the Festival (click here.) The following video is from 2017:
