These are some of the photos taken on Saturday, August 21, 1999 at the MN Renaissance Festival in Shakopee.  We started the morning trying to stay dry which was not an easy or successful task considering for a good part of the morning we had complete downpours!   I used one of those "single use" panoramic cameras with limited results to try and get some shots of the village after the rebuild.  The new construction looks pretty good.  The photos below are saved as thumbnails to reduce page load time.  Click on any thumbnail image to open the full size image.  Use the back arrow on your browser to return to this page.

This is a photo of some of the new construction in the Cartwheel Cove area.  As you first come through the front gate and turn left heading West, down beyond the Treetop Round area.

The gentleman in the center of the photo above is Curt McCall, tough to see him in this shot but the main purpose of the photo was for the new construction in Cartwheel Cove in the  background.  I will have to include a separate photo of Curt in his new kilt worn here.

Another view of some of the new construction in the Children's Relm area and the Cartwheel Cove area.  View looking West by South West (for those of you with maps or into compass directions).

A view of the mud towards the center of the Festival shortly after you enter through the front gate. (It normally doesn't look this bad, remember it's overcast and it's been raining a long time).  You can see part of Bad Manor off in the distance.

This is a shot of "Bad Manor", the site of the Feast of Fantasy.  This has been a classic for many, many years.

This is a picture looking down the center left section of the festival towards the Big Bear.   The bails of hay are part of Jacobs Ladder.

This is a view looking down towards the East corner of the Festival.  You can see the Legend Stage (the large ship) in the distance.   For those of you not familiar, the Legend Stage is the performing home of "Puke & Snot", another MN Festival tradition.
