Renaissance faire

So for the past few years I have been going to the Renaissance faire with my dad and out friends. There is a shop there that sells hand-made dragon puppets, they are extremely expensive. Luckly for me I was able to win one from the egg crack room, I named him Bobward. What is that room you may ask, it is a room where you buy a stirofome egg for either 5, 10, or 20 dollars. The prizes you can win get better depening on how much you pay for the egg. I bought a 10 dollar egg, I think, and was lucky enough to win a puppet. I believe it was worth $150, and it has wings. It sits on your shoulder and it has a wire that goes trough your sleeve to your hand, that controls the movement of the head, left, right, up, and down. They even have some that have two wires because the wings on them can move too. When you buy the egg you also get tickets, I don't remember what the amount depends on. Those tickets are for the dragon raffel at the end of the day. They call out maybe 20 different ticket numbers, if you win you get the dragon they were holding up.

I am lucky for another reason too. My friend Mary, from the moving post, had a smaller one without wings, a "Drabitt". She doesn't have any need for it and so she gave it to me. Her name is Beatrice, love it. I gladly accepted her gift. It wasn't until I got home that I realized that her "Drabitt" and my "full Dragon" had the same color fur. Now Bobward is Beatrice's father. Yay family reunions!!!

That is all for now, see Y'all next post.
