merry men et all

We went to the Robin Hood Festival! It was tiny and cute- and maybe it was the time we were there- but it didn't feel very Robin Hood-y. We watched kids climb a rock and 'bounce' on a trampoline, walked amongst vendors including dentists, McCain supporters and people selling power drinks. Oh there were artists and kids promoting their teams with a raffle- and we ate a hawaiian ice (lemon and pina colada). The local museum had a sign for strawberry shortcake- but Little John must have been there with his rag-tag crew long before we arrived. We found a nice guy in period fur and watched a mini circus act- but the highlight for me was the knightly cutout we found under a tree. I wanted to take that thing home.... I think overall, if we wanted to see people in 'garb', we should have headed to the Highland Games- but we had fun.
