Had so much fun and the Pirate Invasion I had to come back the following weekend to the Bacchanal Masquerade. This time my wife brought her camera and that made it even more fun.

I have now posted the slide show on YouTube. The direct link is:

You can also find it by searching "Northern California Bacchanal Masquerade 2009".

Again, I want to thank all those who make the faire such a delight and those who go through expense and labor to wear such great costumes and re-create the era. It makes it very delightful for those of us who have a passion for photography.

Yes, the Faire is great for kids! There are many kid-centric activities. But be aware that there is also an NC17 stage to avoid.

It would be nice to have something up here again near Sonoma Co. Though the set-up in Hollister is a good one. I am very pleased with it so far?
