Texas Renfest features
16th century revelry
The forests near Plan-
tersville, Texas, will be
transformed into a 16th
century kingdom com
plete with lords and la
dies, minstrals and magi
cians, jesters and jugglers,
wizards and wenches
when the 12th Annual
Texas Renaissance Festi
val opens Oct. 4. Visitors
can experience its excite
ment and revelry every
weekend from through
Nov. 9, from 9 a.m. to
dark.
The six weekend was
sails will be highlighted by
music, drama, dance,
games, arts and crafts,
and food. Guests can be
entertained by everything
from Shakespearean
plays and madrigals to
jousting and chariot races.
Visitors can try their
hand at fencing, archery
and the lance toss or stroll
around the park taking in
the original handcrafted
wares on display and for
sale.
Close to 300 craftmen
will hawk their wares —
from rare butterflies to
wind socks. Artists have
worked months to create
jewelry, clothing, stone
ware, leathercraft, stained
glass, sculptures, paintings
and more.
Many will actually be
demonstrating their craft,
so visitors can watch glass
blowing, candle sculpting,
and wood carving, to
name a few.
A chainsaw artist, who
carves wooden sculptures
out of dead trees, carved
a totem pole of all the
characters at the Festival
which will be on display.
All these activities are
guaranteed to make one
hungry, so famished festi
val-goers may partake of
a veritable feast. Turkey
legs, gyro sandwiches, fish
and chips, empanadas,
pizza napoli, stuffed
spuds, fried cheese, but
tered corn and apple
dumplings will be fea
tured, along with beer,
wine, soda and tea.
Those with majestic
tastes may indulge in the
King’s Feast.
Commoners with less
extravagant tastes should
plan on bringing plentiful
pounds to indulge in the
repast and mirth-making.
Discount tickets are
available at Safeway
stores and cost $9 for
adults and $4 for children.
A free campground will
be available for those who
want to spend the week
end.
The festival is about 45
minutes from College Sta
tion on FM 1774. Take
Highway 6 South to Na-
vasota, go east on High
way 105, turn right on FM
1774 at Plantersville and
drive 6 miles to the site.
The festival is halfway be
tween Plantersville and
Magnolia.
