Many patrons got into the spirit of faire, with original and colorful garb of their own. This couple appears to be a Druid accompanied by a forest sprite. Obviously, quite a bit of work was required to create these costumes! But even the simpliest garb -- and there certainly seemed to be an awful lot of monks at LRF! -- added greatly to the atmosphere of the Louisiana Renaissance Festival.

	The next generation! Ryleh captured this brief father/son "moment" near the Main Gate: a merchant/father watching his toddler/son while his merchant/wife (not shown) helped a patron in their booth. What a great way to raise a family and earn a living, all at the same time!

If it really tastes that bad: SPIT IT OUT!!! Of course, someone might've slipped some English ale into his drink, which would be sure to leave a bad taste in any Scotsman's mouth! Ryleh caught these two Scotsmen talking with a barbarian -- a Pict, perhaps? -- at the Adult Pub near the Jousting Arena. The barbarian I've seen many times before at TRF, where he seems to be a regular visitor. It's always good to find familiar faces at a new venue!

	"And then the King said..." This group of jolly monks and lovely ladies seems to be sharing a particularly juicy bit of court gossip between events at LRF.

What a great pair! Of serving wenches, that is. They certainly know how to make bottled water look good!
