My ___________ at the Fair.

The Connecticut Renaissance Fair was a rather new experience for me. I've been to the King Richards Renaissance Fair up in Massachusetts three times before this, but the CT one was an entirely new experience for me.
Unfortuntely, because I had been to the Mass fair before, I had a couple of expectations of this fair that I couldn't avoid. Some were entirely met, while others were not. Let's start with the "not's"
I guess I was looking for a genuine medieval experience, one which would contain (but not be limited to) authentic acting, settings, food, and speech. The other fair that I am accostomed to going to is built on a permanant Renaissance fair ground, so that the settings of it are very much real feeling. I'm well aware that the CT Fair could only do so much, having it be set at a fairground and call, but it none the less left me longing for the Mass Fair.
That being said, the rest of the fair was fantastic. It takes alot of nerve and talent to be able to work at on of these fairs and really appear to be authentic, or simply ammusing, and a majority of the individuals whom I came across has both of those attributes. The two executioners (I don't remember their names) put on a very humerous show, and I"m sure that many of you would agree with me. Other highlights would be getting to hurl sharp objects into a wall, an encounter with a Grendle-esque figure and a Green Dragon trying to sell me ice cream. What caught my eye the most, however, would have to be the costumes of the people. Obviously there are some that are rather sad looking, but that was all made up for when you see someone walking around in full chain mail. While talking with many of these people, I managed to learn that it takes around 4 months to construct a full suit of chain mail (for those of us who have lives to attend to). I guess I better get started.
And then of course, there was the turkey leg. The wonderful, delicious, glorious turkey leg. By far the highlight of my day, and I managed to completely eat everything (I really mean everything) except the bone. At the moment of completion, I felt like a true king.
