Opening weekend finally made its way here! Saturday started off a little sunny, and a little humid, later becoming a little less humid it seemed or we just got used to it.  Certainly wasn’t my preferred weather for the faire but was acceptable.  Sunday turned on us and became a rainy downpour, which cut short my attempts at photography for that day so I went home and got some rest.  Kudos to the cast and crew who were brave enough to stick it out though and still entertain those who braved the weather.

Keep your eye on the site, because in two weeks the 2011 season of TRF begins.  I should be out there most weekends and will have new batches of photos and even more video to share this season.  Looking forward to a great run this year!

The last weekend at TRF was a blast, great weather for the most part (Friday was a little cold), and wonderful performances by the cast and entertainers.  The season ended with the total count of visitors to TRF at around 450,000, the largest season yet.  A big thanks to all the cast members, participants, and entertainers who helped make it a wonderful season this year.

And lastly I have a video of the final fireworks show of the season to share:

Video of the fireworks on Sunday evening.

Hide your sheep!  The Scottish had invaded TRF this past weekend for the Highland Fling!  The weather looked ominous, but the rain stayed away.  Sunny on Saturday and nicely overcast on Sunday made for great weather (as far as this photographer is concerned) for the weekend.  No videos this weekend but see the link below for photo gallery.
