Felix, these are great! It's amazing to see how the faire has changed over the last 25 years!

Here's a video from 1989... no wooden gate, no gazebo, and no buildings on the left side of Guildsman Way...

I can't get over how different the chessboard area looks. And the jousting arena! Crazy! Makes me wish I would have been around back then to have experienced it myself :)

Goody, you're right. I totally missed that. I thought the steps looked familiar :)

If you stand on the steps at the end of the maze, you can still see some of the remnants of the old joust list. Kinda spooky, actually.
