Went to the PA Ren Faire (Mt. Hope Winery) with the fella yesterday. Last weekend I went to the Pittsburgh Ren Faire with my cousin and her family. So, I was hoping for comparison and contrast, of which I have some, but not tons. There's a smidge amount about Having Your Hair Braided At The Ren Faire, if that might interest you, and a huge rant

My family attends the Mt. Hope Ren Faire frequently. We are friends with Fool Hearty, the couple that does the untrained dog act. Their dogs are actually very well trained and a lot of the "misbehaving" is actually scripted. (Hence why it's an UNtrained dog show.) The only exception is Wing Nutte. Wing Nutte learned that people in the audience tend to bring food to the dog show and thinks that is much more awesome than what was being fed on-stage. (Don't ask me why people bring food to animal shows. People are assholes.) As a result, Wing Nutte was removed from the show for awhile. A lot of people (my family included) requested that she come back to the show. So they brought her back, even though she can be a bit unpredictable now.

We were going to try to go this weekend for the Pyrate Weekend but stuff came up. They have a Children's Weekend over Labor Day weekend which has tons of kids stuff to do. Our favorites are the Halloween weekends, which are the last 3 weekends of October.

Maybe I just didn't get the humor -- I am more used to border collies who live in a (farm) working environment. The ones I am familiar with work on and off all day and don't work for treats. They just work.

I had long hair til I was almost 4. Then I locked myself in the bathroom to avoid getting my hair brushed on Sunday morning. Immediate result? Pixie cut until middle school age.

And I refer to the current hair color not as gray, but "that color you can only get from a real expensive highlight job in a salon"
