‘Twas a merry time enjoyed by all!
I love the new location over the inferno that was El Chorro regional park. Even on a warm and sunny day, Laguna Lake is much nicer. The cost was acceptable, though I think the kids games were a bit high ($2 for 1 play, $5 for 3) – they were fun event-themed games that should have been a buck a play or 6+ plays for $5…
The drinks were not bad ($5 wine and meade, in TINY cups. I’m sure that’s all overly-regulated by expensive bureaucrats somewhere). The TURKEY LEGS were the best I’ve ever had. They were BRINED and SMOKED. I didn’t get the name of the company doing them, but I think they were out of Salinas. They were $10 and worth it. Maybe a hair too salty for some, but that’s about as nit-picky as I can get on them.
The jousting was fun and frolicking. Would have been nice to see two blokes just going at it, instead it was more of a show and audience vaudevillian performance (which is also fine).
The singers, dancers, and general entertainment was very good! I wish I had known about it a bit more in advance (thankfully, I heard it on Dave’s show the Friday before), as I could have made arrangements with Costume Capers or some place!
Great photos, by the way!
