I think I have this right with the dates and such. Regardless, I know this is the first ever appearance the Lance of St. Eligius at a Ren Faire of any sort. We were doing it for fun and basically were getting paid for most of our gas and had maybe lunch provided or something as well, oh and we got to camp on site (at the Kentucky Horse Park) for free as well as free stalls for the horses. I am really only unsure of the year being 2001, but when I think on it that is definitely spot on. Seems like it was so much further back to me when I think on it. The more I think about it though, the more I know this has to be right. I went to my first Gulf Wars, which was X, in March before this. The embarrassment that was me and S.D. is why I got so busy with riding every morning before work for about a two or three-month period.
