Faire (cont'd) May 6, 2013 showed off his costume, made up of different pieces he has picked up from festivals around the country; "We live in Ogden, so we like to come to the local fair too," Dian said. Jayna Smoot, a nurse, volunteers at the fair's first- aid station, which she has done since the fair started. Her station is right near the jousting arena, so she can help mend any cuts or bruises. She said she hopes to not see anything life-threatening. This year is a little different. The professional jousting group wasn't able to come, so the fair has opened up the jousting to the community. Those who would like participate over the next two weekends must register online at www. utahrenfest.com and bring a horse, plus pay the $25 entry fee. They can participate in jousting games, such as spear throwing and ring tossing. Smoot said she loves to watch the jousting and other elements of the fair. She enjoys the costuming so much, she is learning to sew her own, something that is common for many who attend the festivals, Meredith said. "Rarely do you see costumes from a Halloween store. People love to sew their own or have handmade costumes," she said. The fair will run from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. for the next two weekends over Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The cost is $12 for adults and $6 for children. Those dressed in period clothing will receive $2 off the entry fee.
