Last weekend I went to the Kingdom of Riverssance Festival in Sioux City and learned all about jousting.

I’d always wondered about jousting and, not being a huge fan of Renaissance festivals, was looking for something that interested me.

Writing a story is much easier that way.

Here are a few snapshots I took while reporting the story.

Grant Lolley, a South Dakota native and part-time knight, and Katie the Belgian mare take a break from giving horse rides during Riverssance.

Douglas, a percheron, is one of four “war horses” that Warhorse Productions of Sarasota, Fla., brought in to do jousting shows.
