ready to um walk now just a couple other things um my my tours are all um are entirely tip supported that means what funds um my ability to do these tours um comes from everyone who enjoys watching them I um I'm not please I'm not looking for to make a fortune off people I'm doing this because I enjoy it but you know I'm retired now and help with the mission cause like the festival fe uh for here for redfest and gas and things like that so every little bit just kind of helps it helps me keep going so I don't have to dig too deeply into my pockets so okay so I should turn this around but um first I don't know if I can show you or how I can show you but this is the um the newest of my renaissance costumes goes all the way to the floor there but it's it's my um my Irish Renaissance costume because um I wore it to the Irish railroad workers Museum um over the weekend for a program they had so anywh who I have to say this is one of the most comfortable Renaissance Al born so

coffee is perfect but U you'll find links to that on um Facebook and YouTube and probably Twitter or X as it's called now so so here you are trust you're looking around where to go first well we'll see a much of it as we can so oh my goodness let's see up over here they have play swords oh well there's kind of nice the swords and the it kind of like actually works of art right they're um they're

at this C oh my goodness aren't these pretty you know what their costumes are beautifully handmade but I tell you what they cost a lot of money for all that hand workk okay like for instance this is oh my camera's backwards wait a minute I think there's a fix for that hang on let's see there should be a button nearr my camera or don't nearr right then okay can you read it now oh yay look at that
