Foxfire & Freeways: First Day at the Faire

Gosh… what a full day.

So many people at the festival today—everywhere you looked, just crowds, energy, and everything finally coming to life after all the setup.

And it was hot.

The kind of heat that drains you a little faster than you expect, but you keep going anyway because there’s so much happening around you.

Little man, though?

He was the talk of the festival.

So many people stopping, smiling, talking to him—it was honestly really sweet to see.

After everything it took to get here, moments like that make it all feel worth it.

Now we’re back at the Airbnb, cooling off, unwinding, and just taking a minute to breathe after a long day.

Tired… but a good kind of tired.

Foxfire & Freeways: Festival Grounds

Made it to the Eastern North Carolina Renaissance Faire.

You can feel it as soon as you get here—everyone’s busy setting up, moving things around, getting everything ready for the big weekend starting tomorrow.

There’s that in-between energy right now.

Not fully in it yet… but close.

Costumes, tents, pieces coming together, people focused on their roles—it’s all starting to take shape.

After the road, the miles, and everything it took to get here… it feels good to finally be in this part of it.

This is what we were heading toward.

Tomorrow it all comes to life.
