Ren Faire’s Best in Costume

Van Nguyen won for the best getup at Gay Day in Mt. Hope

Last weekend (Aug. 12), the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire welcomed revelers from the LGBT community – many from Philly – during the official Gay Day. Produced by Suzi Nash (you may also know her as the karaoke hostess with the mostess at Sisters every Thursday) and the Stimulus family, the event was also supported by quite a few local organizations, including the William Way, Delaware Valley Legacy Fund and The Attic Youth Center.

As guests turned back time to enjoy some merriment (and jousting) on the 35-acre village at Mt. Hope Estate (hello, winery!), Nash also held a costume contest.

“Van Nguyen was our costume winner,” says Nash. And while many guests showed off their creative wardrobes from throughout the region, this Philly denizen walked away with top honors and a bottle of cheer.
