D.R. White's Past Events!
*****
 |
On Saturday & Sunday
July 8th and 9th, 2006
D.R. White attended the Highland Renaissance Festival
in
Eminence, Kentucky
|
*****
 |
As per usual, he brought along his tent to sell his many, many different items.
|
*****
 |
Here we see two customers looking over those very items, deciding what they wanted to purchase first.

Mr. White actually hadn't planned to attend this amazing event until the last moment, but he was definitely glad he did. It turned out to be one of the nicest events he has ever been to. He's definitely looking forward to returning next year and he has this lovely lady to thank for allowing him to come in on the last weekend of this six week festival.
|
*****
 |
Besides his sales, it allowed him to once again meet many wonderful people, such as this friendly couple of faire goers.

And this amazing fire eating magician. Don't let that one match fool you, Mr. White witnessed Chester place TEN lit matches in his mouth at one time. Folks, that's a lot of FIRE to be placing in your mouth. It's as much fire as the adult fire eaters use for their acts, only Chester is not old enough to own an actual torch so he improvises with kitchen matches.
|
*****
 |
Here you see him actually putting those ten matches in his mouth. Unfortunately, Mr. White was too late with the flash to catch the flame. Chester the Jester's inspiration for his act is group of similar performers that call themselves the Pickled Brothers. Mr. White believes that Chester will one day be a very famous young man.

Here Mr. White witnessed a royal announcement in progress.

 |
This lovely lady had many wonderful stories to tell about the origins of the pieces that made up her outfit.
|
*****
 |
Mr. White loved the color of this lady's outfit and the well designed bird on the front of it. He actually wouldn't mind having a tunic like that himself.
|
*****
 |
Mr. White also liked the color of this lady's outfit, as it reminded him of the color of one of the pieces of garb that his editor from Canada wears to faires.
|
*****
 |
The lady playing this harp was a virtual virtuoso. Mr. White could have listened to her for hours.
|
*****
 |
The gentleman in this picture was also a very fine musician.

Ack! No wonder Vader never joined his storm trooper at the Tennessee Renaissance Festival, he was ambushed in Kentucky! :-O
(note: please check Mr. White's
past events for the storm trooper picture)

 |
This picture was taken at the pub sing at the end of the day, Saturday.
|
*****
 |
At one point the group performing at the pub sing had volunteers to join the show by drumming along on whatever objects were before them.
|
*****
 |
LOL and no, the lad in this picture is not banging out a beat on that lady's head. ;-)
|
*****
 |
These two lads found a way to pass the time by having an impromptu "sword fight" with their canes in the middle of the street.
|
*****
 |
Mr. White loved the way this merchant lady called him "Daniel", most of his friends usually call him Danny... or Tobias, but that's another story. ;-)
Btw, Her name was Elaine. :-D
|
*****
 |
This merchant lady made very nice jewlery items out of gourds.
|
*****
 |
Here we see Mr. White posing with the Malek Sisters, a group of exotic dancers from the Far East.
|
*****
 |
This man made the majority of the leather items he's wearing himself, plus he carved the etchings on his cane.
|
*****
 |
Not only did this man make all of his own instruments, but he played them with equal skill and grace as well.
|
*****
 |
Mr. White was so entranced by the sparkling coat that this lady was wearing, he couldn't resist taking a photo of her in it.
|
*****
Those were just a few of the sights
seen by D.R. White. All in all,
a good time was held by all at the
Highland
Renaissance Festival!
