Title: NO jousting at the faire this year?????
Post by: Gwenwhistle on September 01, 2008, 11:02:59 AM
Can anyone tell me if and why there is no joust this year?  Or maybe they just aren't including it in the day's schedule?  Who has been opening week-end and TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!  Can't wait to get there this year!

Well, THAT is a relief.  My kids were so disappointed to think there wouldn't be jousting; and I couldn't imagine that being taken out of the mix.  Thank you for the info, joebear

your welcome they did add a booth of their own by the jousting field that you can take a picture on a big wooden horse in outfits they offer or buy a dvd or pennant.

The jousts aren't on the grid schedule - they are listed in text like they do the mud shows.
