This last Sunday, May 8th, I went to Scarborough Faire in Waxahachie, Texas, the temperature was not the best for going as Alphonse, but I really wanted to attend the court dance the faire has later in the afternoon, I went in as Alphonse at 4:00pm and could not get through the main gate without have a dozen or so people ask to take my picture, either alone or with a loved one. After I made it into the faire grounds, it took almost 20 minutes to go a hundred yards to where the court dance was to be held, what used to me amazing to me (but not anymore) was the different kinds of people that wanted to have their pictures taken with Alphonse. Of course many young ones love to stand next to me, but its some of the adults that are really surprising, I have had heavy set bikers, bruisers, and even what appeared to be gang members stop and beg their friends to take a picture with me. And rarely does a girl or lady not pet my muzzle or ears after the picture has been taken. The dances start at 5:00pm and are open to anyone who knows them, which I know many as Alphonse, and the ladies of the court love to dance with me, its not every weekend they can tell their friends they danced with a true fox. I know that many people took my picture during the 3 dances I did, and I hope to find them online one day. Sadly, with the temperatures staying above 90 degrees from now and until the end of the fair in late May, Alphonse will not be able to attend anymore of Scarby this season, but I have Texas Renaissance Festival in October to look forward to.
