Question Hawkwood

There use to be a rennosainse fair here in Westlake/Roanoke, Tx. The last time it ran was I think 2001. There are stories about it, you can read what happened to me in my post on the 2nd page of "Ghost Stories". Well any ways I was wondering if ANY of you guys have heard of this place and know why it shut down. The people just up and left this place, its kinda weird, everything is still there too (well was but it was torn down a few months ago for houses). Ive looked all over the internet and cant find a thing. Ive found sites with pictures of when it was up and running but nothing on why it was abandoned.

There are some pictures of it running. All the buildings in those pictures were still there up till a few months ago. It was pretty freaky, all those buildings were so run down and over grown and it was PITCH black out there at night. Im just wondering why it was abandoned in the first place. So Im askin here on FTE lol.

I'm guessing it probably ran out of money/interest/sponsor/etc.
