GLMF front gateThe Great Lakes Medieval Faire was a chance occurrence for me.  A friend from Ohio needed help moving, so I volunteered.  The faire was an added benefit to helping out a friend.  In the end I attended two weekends of the faire (2nd and 4th).  Quality performances from the Washing Well Wenches, Hack and Slash, Johnny Phoenix, and Axel the Sot made the two days spent at faire quite entertaining.  A rousing joust at the end of the day completed my first weekend.  The crowds were a little more "mundane" than I am used to but what they lacked in garb they made up for in enthusiasm.  The patrons were involved in all the shows and seemed to be enjoying themselves.  As a side note I think other faires should look at the food that GLMF offers.  Delicious does not even cover how good the food looked and tasted at GLMF.

NOTICE: I haven't "gotten around" to captioning all the images for this page.  However, I have all the images in an index.  Enjoy!
