Maryland Renfest Withdrawal Syndrome

Article after the cut. Neat statistics included:
In 2007, the festival paid a total of $1.3 million in taxes, with $375,000 of that from the amusement tax. Among the products sold annually at the festival, cups of soda led with 247,500. Other popular products include bottles of water (167,680) and turkey legs (55,000).

I was especially fond of this quote: "Smith said visitors come from as far south as Virginia and as far north as Philadelphia." I guess Debbi and I don't count since we're the outliers. ;)

Interesting article from The Baltimore Sun: Renaissance Festival in search of a new, larger location.

About the ambulances in the parking lot last night as we were all leaving: snakes do not make good implements of taunting.
