    Turkey legs are the best so grab a leg and something to wash it down with, find a show to watch then take a seat and prepare for some fun.

    Lots of strange groups of people, some in full furry outfits (really craving an excuse to wear them)and some with just tails and some regular nerdy people. Too many kids. I ate crocodile meat.

    Unless your 6' or taller, be early for the jousting or you'll be standing in the back where it's difficult to see.
