MISC:

– the Maryland Renaissance Festival recreates a 16th century English village with crafts, food, live performances on 8 stages, a jousting arena and lots of games.

– See a fire-eater, sword swallower, jousting in full armor, marvel at jugglers and magicians, and listen to music and choral groups. Enjoy a variety of fare from 42 food shops, more than 130 craft shops for stained glass, sculptures, jewelry, pottery, wood-butchery, leather-work, inlay, clothing, and glass-blown creations.

– Turkey leg….. 5 bucks for 1. Definitely worth it. A HUGE turkey leg full of delicious and salty meat. Succulent and sometimes stringy. It can be used for different reasons. Eat it. Carry it around for protection. Use it to block the sun from the UV radiation.

– Bring cash as the lines for ATMs can be long
