Feature: Puzzle Fun!
Because of upgrading being done on the site
we "puzzle" our photos through, there will not be new puzzles in this
issue. Instead, we welcome you to perfect your skills on our past
puzzles!
- Road Sign —
Do you feel lost? Let this puzzle point you in the right direction!
Taken at the Wybreg Renaissance Festival, Fall 2000.
- Marco the Magnificent
— pictured at the Iowa Renaissance Festival and Harvest
Faire, 2000. He's since retired from performing, so we wanted
to put this photo up to let him know he'll be severely missed
(Polo, baby...Polo!)
- History of Names
— Willa in front of one of our favourite booths at the
Salisbury Faire in 2000, History of Names.
- Lunch with an Outlaw
— The Hamlet of Slater (now renamed to Hamlet of Mid-Missouri)
gave us the opportunity to hang out with Robin Hood, throw food
at the evil sheriff and consume a feast fit for royalty!
- First Photo —
The first photo ever taken by ATF at the 1997 Iowa Renaissance
Festival and Harvest Faire in Des Moines, Iowa.
Every two weeks we are going to turn five of our
very own photos into a Java-based puzzle for you to solve! If you
have a suggestion as to a photo that would make a good puzzle, let
us know! To see past puzzles, go

Article: A Faire to Remember — What
are Your Favourite Memories?
Most of us have our own reasons for being into
faires. For some, it is an excuse to party, not bathe, and get away
with things that are simply not appropriate in daily life. To others,
it is an excuse to take Monty Python and the Holy Grail to a new
level. [more...]
