Just finalized the plans. I'll be there opening weekend with two of my kids...not sure about a third.
Any ideas for an easy and cheap outfit for a 14 year old boy?

Hi Kariselle! Guess we'll be seeing you some time out at bristol this year! Hopefully we'll get to meet up sometime,and ..well.. meet each other!
We'll be there too, all the way from MiRF, SE Michigan. Where making opening weekend our annual trip this year.
If you will be there on Sunday, Lord Stephen and I will look forward to meeting you at the Meet & Greet (times and location TBA).
For a 14 year old boy's garb. You can go to Walmart and buy scrub pants in black or navy blue. They cost about $10 or $12 and have a drawstring waist and no zipper. Then if you can sew, go to Goodwill and buy either fancier curtains or tablecloth, perferrably solid color, like brocade or something, and make a quick tunic. Fold it it half, like a poncho, cut out a hole for the neck, sew a seam there. Then cut out the fabric so that it makes 2 sleeves and sew the seam and then the seam down the sides of the body. Cut to mid-thigh and hem. Then you can either buy a fancy applique, like a fleur-de-lis, and sew or iron it on. Or instead, tie a belt around the waist.
Believe me, I can't sew at all, and I made the same things for our 2 sons when they were 11 & 14 (many years ago) when we first went to faire. It's that easy.
Sheets could also be used, or Walmart has a large selection of $1 a yard fabrics. Just try not to get too high a percentage of synthetics, because he will die of heat!
