Minnesota Renaissance Festival Photo Album
Note:  I have now split this page into two parts.  Click on the button below for page two.
 
 
 
Victoria Belardi-1989 My first year as an official participant at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival.  This is Victoria Belardi and my real life son in 1989.  You can see how much he has grown when you check out the pictures of him below and on my wedding album page when he walked me down the aisle!  (Sorry for the quality of the photo-cheap disposable camera!)

 
Vasa's Daughters -1990 This is Vasa's Daughters in our first year, 1990.  I am Velda (upper left), Volga in on the right and finally, Vilma is in the front.  We had fun fitting patrons with our custom designed bejeweled codpiece, participating in Vilification Tennis and posing for MANY portrait opportunities! 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
Vasa's Daughter's-1991 Our second year as Vasa's, Vilma had gone on to other realms.
She was replaced with our P.I.T. (Prince In Training).  Isn't he cute?
He is Rosebud, Airhead to the Throne of King Vasa of Sweden.
He would find suitable mates and present them with a Contract for Marriage.
 
 

 Rosalily Bud-1992 The first year of Rosalily Bud.
 
 
Rosalily-1993 Rosalily in 1993, after losing 65 pounds!
Unfortunately, they found there way back.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

John Karger-Last Chance Forever The Royal Falconer, John Karger, with a falcon.  You can see him at the Royal Mews Stage.  He is part of Last Chance Forever, which saves injured birds and release them back into the wild when they are ready.  You must see his show-it makes you appreciate our feathered friends.

Last Chance Forever-Bald Eagle This wonderful Bald Eagle was saved by Last Chance Forever.  Unfortunately, he could not be released as he only has one wing.  However, he is happy procreating!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Cedric and Rosalily  This is my son, Cedric Thorne (in my side) McBoodle and myself as Rosalily Bud.  It was his second year as a participant.  He really loved wearing a kilt...claimed it was a "chick magnet"!  That year, 1996, he organized a tribute to "Braveheart" at our closing day gate show.  Yes, up on our hill, overlooking the parking lot and front gate, he and several brave Scots bent over and showed us all just what is under a Scotsmen's kilt!

Pavilion stage crew-1996 My "motley" Special Events Pavilion stage crew in 1996.  As you can see, they were a surly bunch!  It is difficult to see in this picture, but above my head a dagger is being wielded.  Did my crew love me or what?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Rosalily and Malenchia in the stocks Well, well, well...look what happens to you when you are caught looking up a kilt!  But then the punishment was worth it...I'll even do it again!
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
Mayor in stocks What have we here?  Could it be...yes, it is our own shire's Lord Mayor!  I'm not sure what he was put in the stocks for, but I DO know it was not the same charges as mine.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Court Revelers Our own Court Revelers making beautiful music with their voices.  Or are they laughing at the Mayor's predicament?
 
 
 
 
 
 

Kilt Factory One of my favorite rituals every morning before opening at the Special Events Pavilion.  The sight of so many Scotsmen readying their kilts!  We nicknamed our stage "The Sacred Pleating Grounds".
 
 
 
 
 
 

Checking bloomers What's this?  Could it be someone checking what is under a lasses skirts?  Actually, the gentleman (I use that term loosely) is helping to make last minute adjustments to her underclothing before our "Best Bloomers Contest".  At least, that is what he told her!
