Re: Renaissance Fair
Apparently the two events coincided.
According to the respective Wikipedia articles,
"The Middle Ages (adjectival form: medieval or mediæval) is a period of European history from the 5th century through the 15th century."
"The Renaissance (French for "rebirth"; Italian: Rinascimento, from ri- "again" and nascere "be born")[1] was a cultural movement that spanned roughly the 14th to the 17th century, beginning in Florence in the Late Middle Ages and later spreading to the rest of Europe."
So, in the 14th & 15th centuries, both the middle ages and the renaissance were happening. Could have included jousting.

Can't we all just agree that it's all too silly for words?

Re: Renaissance Fair
Mars Cheese Castle is on I-94 outside of Kenosha. Not too far north of the border if memory doesn't deal me a dog turd. I've never been there personally, though I have driven by it countless times. I've have heard it's good.
I have been to Bristol a few times - it's not too bad, even if it is a little historically ambiguous
, pretty harmless and the children enjoy it. Medieval Times in Schaumburg is a bit better if you like the whole jousting/swordfighting deal.
