Village Renaissance Faire announces theme for Sept 14 & 15 Event

Come see the event that earned a visit from Renaissance Magazine.... the 20th Vilalge Renaissance Faire September 14 & 15 on the Middletown Grange Fairgrounds. Support the public library & have fun too! Its an authentic, affordable, and local Renaissance Faire with a CAUSE----ALL proceeds got the public library. This all volunteer community event attracted over 9,000 in one weekend last year. Please come join us. An event for all ages and affordable to all. Its hard to believe, but once you come its even harder to leave.

Amidst the flying birds of prey, jousting, danger acts, human chess, living history, artisans and fine food, there is also free games in Kids Kingdom, Dragonsized Games, KILTfest Highland Games, and Pirates of Fortune's Folly Port of Call, as well as games of skill for prizes and glory in the Medieval Gaming Glen and Thrown Weapons areas. Ten stages of constant entertainment from aerialists to fire breathers, dancers to music, comedy to magik, and puppets to pyrates, are surrounded by artisans, demonstrators, and friendly interaction along the faireways. At the Village Renaissance Faire one can even change their stars with Children's Knighting, Pyrate Apprenticeships, Children's Quest, Knights, and our free loaner garb.

Now in its 20th chapter, the original story-line aptly named living literature, underscores the faire's charitable cause- the Village Library of Wrightstown. This year again has an original adaption created especially for its guests-- in three part harmony. Merlin, dont mistake him for his wandering whimsical brother, Mylin recounts three tales of the Round Table to a young Squire Thomas Mallory to teach him the virtues of chivalry, and that being a knight is not all it’s cracked up to be:

The Tale of Gawain and the Green Knight – Gawain takes up the challenge of the strange Green Knight in order to spare Arthur and his court from dishonor. But has until sun down to figure out the riddle of the Lady Ragnellin order to save himself from certain doom.

The Tale of Sir Brunor – Young Sir Brunor arrives with his mortally wounded father Sir Meliot only to learn that the wound is cursed by the sorceress Hellewes to never close. Now he must face a series of trials throughout the day in order to get the holy artifacts to save his father.

The Tale of Tristan – Sir Galleron the Morholt and Sir Tristan are the best of friends but duty and honor will pit them against one another as the Queen of Ireland and King Mark of Cornwall settle an age old rivalry

The Three stories converge as the defeated Queen of Ireland and the sorceress Hellewes join forces to over throw those who have beaten them.

We advise all to continue to visit not only the faire but our website as well, to see how one can become involved, or merely just to browse new additions to our faire. We expect this year to be no different than any other, large crowds treated to a day of entertainment which involves until the final week. In recent years, at the last moment, we added fire & ice, and the flying birds of prey, what will it be this year. Come and see, or…if you like, contact Ken Hone, www.villagefaire.org, [email protected], 267-304-8060, and who knows, one of the new additions you maybe…HUZZAH!!!
