Carver: Roadside Attractions III

This morning, Jon and I explored some of the more famous roadside attractions in Carver.

First stop: King Richard's Faire. This Renaissance fair has been around for a long time, but geeze is it expensive! Now I know why I've gone only once before.

After paying $25 to get in, no kidding you need gas money. Hey, look...the Knights Templar! Symbologist Robert Langdon must not be too far behind.

Second stop: Edaville Railroad. Edaville is famous (in these parts, at least) for its Christmas Festival of Lights, when you ride on the unique narrow-gauge railroad and look at lit-up diaroma-ish displays. But in the fall, you can take a train ride through the bogs and enjoy the cranberry harvest and the foliage. I love autumn!

This gingerbread house is an example of the kind of lit-up sites you'd see on the train ride at Christmastime. Just imagine snow on the ground and a December-dark forest twinkling with tiny electric lights. This is what I think about when I think about Christmas. And, on the right, is one of the "classic" Edaville signs that's scattered around the town.

Edaville Railroad!!! I HAVE been to Carver, Mass!
I think I got lost there during a first grade field trip.
It traumatized me. No wonder I blocked it from my memory ; )
Great pics! Nothing like New England in the autumn.
