28th Tennessee Renaissance Festival Earns High Marks in Spite of Rain

  28th Tennessee Renaissance Festival Earns High Marks in Spite of Rain What is it with Tennessee's May weather lately? In addition to the Flood of the Century in 2010, the Tennessee Renaissance Festival has gotten off to a soggy start several times in recent years, and 2013 was no exception. Another slow-moving rain front moved in and parked over Middle Tennessee the day before the Ren Faire, and the opening of the annual event was marred by wet weather. However, the Ren Fest was great fun, as always. You can read more here :   28th Tennessee Renaissance Festival Earns High Marks in Spite of Rain - Yahoo!

The Top Five Ways to Prepare For a Renaissance Festival

Image
How to Prepare For a Renaissance Festival If you have never been to a Renaissance festival, you are missing out on a real experience! I live not too far from the biggest Ren fest in Tennessee, but I didn't know about it for years. When I first heard about it, I thought "that sounds weird," but some friends finally talked me into going, and I loved it! One reason I enjoyed it so much was the group I went with dressed up for it, so I donned my peasant broom skirt and top - purchased at Macy's on clearance for about $3 apiece - and went along for the ride. I have now attended the Tennessee Renaissance Festival every year for several years, so I have five tips on how to prepare for and enjoy a Renaissance fair via The Top Five Ways to Prepare For a Renaissance Festival .

This Sword Swallower's Got Talent - Dan Meyer on 'America's Got Talent'

Sword Swallower Goes from Tennessee Renaissance Festival to "America's Got Talent" Kathryn E. Darden ,  Yahoo Contributor Network Performing at Tennessee Renaissance Festival The Tennessee Renaissance Festival has featured something a little different the past couple of years when sword swallower Dan Meyer (of "America's Got Talent" fame) performed portions of his incredible program for the amazed onlookers who have seen him do the seemingly impossible. Last year I watched a nurse I know pull the sword out of his mouth, and this year, Her Majesty, the Queen (of the Tennessee Ren Fest) pulled a steel sword from Dan Meyer's throat. Dan's career has burgeoned this past year with appearances at Ripley's Believe It or Not, the Guiness World Book of Records, and "America's Got Talent," and I was able to hear some of the details first hand!

Halloween in the Woods!

Using a State Park for Your Next Halloween Party Kathryn E. Darden ,  Yahoo Contributor Network Last year I decided to host a birthday party on Halloween for a hobby group to honor a special guest. Because of some problems with my house due to a landslide, which is another horror story of its own, I had to find the perfect spot. I found it at a local state park! Many state parks have shelters where you can have picnics, and some of those have fire places. I reserved a shelter with two picnic tables and a fireplace and brought a couple of lawn chairs as did some of the other guests, so we had ample seating for our group. We met at 6:00 PM right as darkness fell. Our shelter was a little remote, in a small meadow surrounded by woods, so it was picturesque by day but quite spooky at night, and dark, very dark! To combat the darkness, we all brought lanterns and candles which we put around the shelter, hanging some and placing others on the tables. The fireplace also cast ...
