Dickens Land!

At the State Fair Grounds they were hosting a Dickens/ Dickens' Era themed Festival, which sounded like fun to our lot, so my parents, sisters, and I decided to check it out a couple nights ago. They had lots of fun characters, details, and atmosphere that were reminiscent of different Dickens books, mainly A Christmas Carol, for seasonal appropriateness, but others also. Like I freaked out when I saw Miss Havisham from Great Expectations. She wasn't really an old lady, but her makeup was pretty good!
