Tennessee Renaissance Festival & Castle Gwynn

Image
The 24th annual Tennessee Renaissance Festival is taking place in Arrington/Triune, Tennessee every weekend in May and on Memorial Day. While many Ren Fests have earned the reputation of being rather dark and occult, the Tennessee Renaissance Festiva l remains fairly family friendly. There are some occult elements in a few of the marketplace booths, and there is ale as well as some off sexual jesting at the Axel the Sot Show and the Washing Well Wenches, but if you avoid those, there is plenty f fun for the whole family: camel rides, jousting, food, music, shopping, live chess matches, pirates and lots of people in Renaissance costumes. With your admission to the Tennessee Renaissance Festival, you also get to tour Castle Gwynn . Castle Gwynn is the beautiful castle featured in Taylor Swift's "Love Story" video. For more information, check out these articles: 22nd Tennessee Renaissance Festival Family Day Tennessee Renaissance Fest Fun for the Family How to Prepare for

Everyone has heard the news by now: Miss California, Carrie Prejean, was ridiculed and insulted publicly by homosexual activist Perez Hilton following the Miss USA Pageant in April for answering his agenda-driven question with her honest opinion.

While it appears Prejean intended her small vest to partially cover her breasts in any public photos for the Bliss photo shoot, her carelessness in keeping her breasts covered between poses allowed an unscrupulous photographer to capitalize on photos snapped between posed shots.
