Last Saturday, (2/27) I attended the opening day of Sherwood Forest Faire, a new Robin Hood era faire in Bastrop County near Austin Texas. And as usual I took a whole lot of photos. Keep in mind I got most of these in the first hour or two after the gate opened, there were only a two hundred or so patrons scattered about the 25 acre site, so it seems like there are not many people. But there were about 2500 folks on site by mid-day.


an hour before opening, about 20 folks milling around..



But soon a lot more show up! Including our Queen Bonnie, who took credit for the fantastic weather!


the watch turned out for crowd control..


And the Sheriff of Nottingham told us we were an illegal assembly! He seemed offended by the cat-calls and rude gestures !


But Robin Hood and this men got the Sheriff sorted!


Welcome to Sherwood Forest !


In to the faire I go!
