If there is something, that I've found over the Many years of Collecting, With Value, or Historic Value, for me This Treasure, an Original Poster, from the "First Annual Renaissance Pleasure Faire" is very close to the to the Top of the list of my Finds! :^D Without the Break of the COVID19 Pandemic, this Year would have been My 50th Year of going to the Northern California Renaissance Pleasure Faire, my First 1973! Although now Produced by a different Company, and holding it Hollister, California, I think about 20yrs. now, it's still the same Faire to me, and where I introduced, my then Girlfriend, 1981, then Wife, 1985, to the Faire, and our two Sons, all of us going in Costume, over the Years, and being Part of the Faire, because "All The Faire is A Stage" Now this Year will be the first Year for my 14mo. Granddaughter, to Join the Pageantry of The Renaissance Faire! :^D
The first, was started by Ron and Phyllis Patterson, in the early 1960's in Southern, California, Ron being the Artist that designed this First Faire Poster, for Northern California, a Self Portrait! The Faire Benefyting KPFA FM Radio Station.

billretirecoll, Very cool. :-)
I myself was a late-comer to the Renaissance Pleasure Faires in the Black Pointe Forest, but they were fun.
You have all of those great memories of being there your family. <3
Thanks keramikos, and Yes, the Black Point Forest Renaissance Pleasure Faire, was Fun, and when You stepped, through the entrance gates, You almost felt like You just stepped back in time, they took every effort, to make it look that way, you couldn't see any modern things all were hid, from view, except what the people attending brought in, like Cameras, or Baby Strollers, and if not in costume, their clothing. The Memories I will always have! Bill :^D
