Must See Amazing Photos From First Ever Montana Renaissance Faire

The summer sun really has a way of bringing out a thirst for MEAD. Especially when you are dressed from head to toe in heavy body armor. Not, to mention your horse is not a fan of your jousting ability. Your page is exhausted from lugging around your broadsword. But, its all fun and games in medieval combat.
