Went out to BearPaw on Saturday to hang out and shoot some photos. I had wanted to make it out for the parade too but I was so exhausted that I didn't make it out of bed till noon, and didn't make it out to BearPaw till 2. Turns out that the parade wasn't much, and not alot of Faire people were in it. I hung out for a bit and watched the tail end of the Weapons Demo and then learned that no one showed for the Red Show and most of the shows were half what they were slated to be.
So I wandered a bit and had a snack, and then hung out talking with an old AF buddy of mine for awhile. He lives walking distance away from the area that they hold BearPaw in so he and his family wandered over. Was fun, but once he gets talking he never stops.
I got some good shots of the second weapons demo...of slicing a watermelon in 2 in midair, and what happens to a watermelon when you take a flail to it. Also some fun ones of a couple of the Iron Wolves playing around after. I hung out and BS'd with them for awhile before I headed back to town.
Glad I went, but disappointed that more wasn't going on.
