The 8th Annual
Lady of the Lakes Renaissance Faire will be held at the Hickory
Point Recreational Facility located on Little Lake Harris
on November 6, 7, and 8, 2009 (9:00am - 5pm).
The Lady of the Lake Renaissance Faire began
in 2002, and offers its visitors and opportunity to step back
in time to a magical, enchanting fantasyland that has been
created to represent an authentic European village.
The Faire's educational viability is due to
the wide array of unique presentations that are available
to students. The Faire features over 100 performers, representing
various entertainments of the time – including jugglers, knights
in armor, jousting, fire-eaters, pirates, dancers, villagers,
peasants, historical characters and a variety of musicians.
Over 60 artisans fill the village, working in mediums such
as glass blowing, pottery, leather work, blacksmithing, sculpture,
candle making, just to name a few. The crafts and entertainment
combine with thematic games and foods to create a glimpse
of marketplace celebrations and life in the 16th century.
By the command of Her Royal Majesty, Queen Elizabeth Regina, the audition dates for The Lady of the Lakes Renaissance Faire are hereby announced!
