  • I've been to TRF every year since 1985 -- beat that if you can!

    I love, most, the fact that it is built in an old-growth forest of 200 year old postoaks and blackjack oaks.

  • Since 1982.

    And the management always told me it was build on an old strip mine... not sure where all these oaks you speak of are.

  • @DruidArena - perhaps the parking area was a strip mine (although what is there to mine around there?). As for the oaks, heck they are in your video!

  • @hackamore looking at the video (I may have missed due to poor video quality) I saw only pines, and I do know there are others there but the faire is 25 years old plus George (owner) is a bit of a greens fanatic so I know he transplanted a lot of the plants and trees at the faire.

  • Nerds a-hoooyyyy!!

  • @ultraexcited Well, it depends on the ren fest you go to, some are very laid back, this is the Texas Renaissance Festival, we're not really a historical reenactment, mostly we're a bunch of freaks in frocks just out to have some fun.

  • Hey guys, it doesn't matter how long you've been on cast, just because you've been on for over 20 years, doesn't exactly mean your a Rennie expert, you may have experience, but it ultimately comes down to effort and skill... and not passing out from dehydration.

  • @ewd76 If you're talking about the announcer, its because Houstonians tends to have a more non-regional dialect being a more metropolitan type city (aka "tv english") as compared to other parts of Texas

  • @SuckkerFree215

    What kind of Texas accent is this? Sounds like a damn yankee.

  • @DruidArena -- George planted a lot of what appear to be Shumard Oaks, and they are now about 30 feet tall. These are the ones in the stone planters. But there are plenty of post oaks and these grow very slowly, so they are, at a guess, 200 years old. There's also one little stand of 4 or 5 Blackjack Oaks, which are not common down here. These are also slow growers. And then, there are a large number of pines, which are at least 70 years old judging from their size.

  • @TexasRenaissance -- I only got to go once this year, on opening. Day. Next year I want to go at least twice!

  • @hackamore That is amazing. This year, everything was perfect!

  • still fun even if you arent a nerd :P
