20 years of the RenFest … really? Already?
Here’s a sure sign that summer’s winding down and fall is in the air: The first press releases from the Ohio Renaissance Festival in Warren County, which starts Labor Day weekend and, according to the information I’m seeing, is marking its 20th anniversary this year.
Twenty years??? Could it be?
Sure enough, they opened the doors to what is now a 30-acre site in the fall of 1990, making this the 20th season of ye olde turkeeyye legges, ale and ye swelling bodices… If you’ll pardon me, it seems like that really flew by fast.
We enjoy the festival at our house, and we make it a point to get down to Harveysburg every year. The food is good, the entertainment is properly bawdy, the costumes are fun, the jousting is cool, and it’s always a good time.
Information for this year’s festival is a www.renfestival.com.
Do you go? Do you have an memories to share?

Our family has gone every year for the past five or six years. We love it and try to totally get in character and costume for the appropriate themed weekend we go! If you haven’t been it is definitely a GREAT time!
