Where can you see a juggler, a magician and a guy dressed as barbarian – eat steak on a stick, a turkey leg and wash it down with ice cold hard cider – ride a camel, try your hand at shooting a bow, tossing an ax or throwing a tomato, and carry a sword, ax or bow without being incarcerated? This is the last weekend of the Colorado Renaissance
