Riverssance, Sioux City, Ia

Sioux City has, what I call, a mini Renaissance Fair called Riverssance. Bob and I and another couple, John and Linda, decided to experience it. It was such a beautiful day, perfect for a fair.

One of the first people I ran into was a former student. We had a nice visit. She also knew the daughter of the woman who went with us. It was nice to see her and hear how she's been doing.

After eating some good fair food, one of our first entertainment stops was a little raunchy so we left and decided to watch the dancers.
Then these two guys were putting on an act with juggling and sparring with comedy thrown in.
We enjoyed these singers for a few minutes.
Of course we had to go to one of the magic shows.
We enjoyed hearing the Wayne State Madrigal singers.
A lot of people visited the pub, but we didn't.
These guys did.
We watched a potter making a ridge on the bottom of one of her pieces.
We got into trouble, but someone set us free.
Here are the King and Queen who promenaded to the joust.
Another member of the royal promenade.
One of the jousters.
Here they are jousting on their horses.
Here they are on foot.
Both of them ended up on the ground.
We had a good time, and afterwards, we introduced John and Linda to our favorite Thai Restaurant in South Sioux City, NE, just across the Missouri River.
