A 'Rancher' is a bit of a stretch.. I did watch a bunch of Monster Rancher.. that count? Spin it fast! Do the past!

We have miniature donkeys mostly. I go and help out when I can and we end up at the ranch for most holidays and a good number of weekends for fun but its the inlaws place. :D

Austin is also closer to the Texas Hill Country, where they have winery's and wine tours.

In general, Austin sounds like a fantastic option.

And I have a good Ren Faire about an hour from my house; I don't need to fly half-way across the country for one :look:

I guarantee they wouldn't be for us!

I guess if you get an assigned numbered seat and you don't want to see any of the support races, you can pull it off. We had assigned and numbered seats in Hungary this year, which was much better than the general admission seats we usually have. You'll still want to schedule two hours on either side of the session, I think. Plus however long it takes to travel from FB to COTA and back.

Okay compiled a little list, but honestly both San Antonio and Austin have so many things! If there is something in particular you are looking for, I probably can give suggestions or ask those that are more local. I work in Austin and know it pretty well, but it has boomed in the last few years. Both SA and Austin are near me so I go to both off and on for things.

TEXAS RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL
55 Acres, 25 Stages, 8 Themed Weekends, King’s Feast, After Dark, Pub Tour, Whiskey Tasting Class

(I did search and I know some of you have even larger ones near you, but a lot do not. I've always personally loved the idea of having one of our gatherings at a Ren Faire. I'd most likely go if it was in my budget to one of the ones out of state too! Ours is pretty big and it's hard to actually see everything in a day, or even two days, depending what all you choose to do.)

Sounds like you need a better restraint system, Alyria Sedai.
