A Blast of the Past #85: Ren Fest meets India
Today is a slight continuation of last Friday's blast. Today we brought the same guests from India to visit our little historical reenactment -- called the Kansas City Renaissance Festival. There are a couple of shots of them, and some pictures of the kids participating in the festival in costume.
