King Richard’s Faire 2019

The Kids with Piers the Pickle Man
Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00245

We have been guests of the Realm the past seven years. This means that we receive free passes to enter the Faire. Many of those years we attend the opening weekend of King Richard’s Faire and on few occasions we attend Columbus Day weekend. We do this because of my work and sleep schedule. Those Monday trips to King Richard’s Faire are pretty much the only ones we can do as a family unless I take some nights off work. Luckily we’ve been able to go on Labor Day weekend for the past couple of years and that has really worked out. School has just begun and our last big event together before our schedules get crazy is King Richard’s Faire. We have a wonderful time every year and we love seeing all of our old friends. Friends like Piers Pickles the Purveyor of Pickles. I was looking back at our photos because Google Photos recognizes faces and as I look back on the many years we have visited our pickle pal I came across this photo below.

Eva and Andrew with Piers the Pickle Man

This was taken five years ago and man it is adorable. A photo of the kids with Piers is one of the things I try very hard to make sure we do. It doesn’t always happen but when it does it is magical. The kid simply love him. They also love his lovely wife Snow White. Eva chats with the princesses each year and shows them her costume. Now, for many years Eva has worn a princess dress. Now she is making her own costumes and her own character. This year she is Zoe Crystalis, a warrior elf. She still chatted with snow who is always super gracious and wonderful with the kids.

Win a Family 4-Pack of Tickets to Granite State Comicon 2019

Granite State Comicon

I am very excited to say that my family will be hosted guests at Granite State Comicon 2019. I have not been to this event since the very first one way back when it started in 2003. The Granite State Comicon was created by two friends of mine from college, brothers Chris and Scott Proulx and their friend Brett Parker. The con has grown and I have wanted to go back for several years now. It just hasn’t worked out. But this year I was asked if I wanted to attend and to help promote the show. I’d certainly do anything to help out these guys. Part of that is running this giveaway and coordinating with other bloggers to put on giveaways of their own.

This year is a big year for TMNT fans. It is the 35th anniversary and there will be a bunch of very special things happening at the con for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles including voice talent from the shows and many artists and even Kevin Eastman! I am thrilled about that!

Both of the kids are going to cosplay at the show. They have each created their own unique characters and on one of the days Eva will go as Luna Lovegood. I cannot wait to see how they do at the show, it is going to be so much fun. If you would like to join us on Sunday please enter to win passes through the Rafflecopter app below.
