Hear Ye! Here Ye! The Village Renaissance Faire returns its merriment and mystique to the Middletown Grange Fairgrounds this Sept 20 & 21, for its glorious 15th year, with even more performers and offerings than ever before. When asked why, founder and volunteer faire director Ken Hone simply says, Why Not!?!

In 2013 the faire achieved new heights a flying birds of prey show become part of its ongoing family and faire earned 9,000 returning visitors in one lone weekend…the faire has become a huge success as participants have become part of this charity faire for a cause that boasts entertainment that rivals commercial faires, at a price far less than a movie.

What happens when a faire reaches new heights that one can surely see it from afar…well the Village Renaissance Faire knows the answer… Pyrates have heard of a land where a festival offers authentic shows from lands and times afar, amusements and games benefiting a medieval theme park, and a bounty so grand that it provides programs to its community year round...and come September 20 & 21, they will invade that the land, the Middletown Grange Fairgrounds and seek to overtake the Kingdom and its just rewards. “Never will that happen.” says Hone, “our land is too proud, too glorious, too rich in our soul.”

What success have the pyrates heard. The Pyrates have heard of the success of a faire that boasts aerialists, flying birds of prey, jousters, fire breathers, archers, living chess, trebuchet launching, live steele, petting zoos, pony rides, carriage rides, puppet shows, jugglers, dancers, singers, musicians and more. They have heard that shires from counties here and there are attracted to this grand faire. They have learned of the games of merriment and skill that include ratapult, throwing fits, castleplunk, chickenshot into a pot, Jacobs Ladder, thrown weapons, and fight a knight, and they want to test their skills reap the riches of the glorious bounty of the prize kingdom.

Although they are welcome, as all are at our faire, they will be seen from afar as crow nests designed to gain glorious views of the birds of flight, trebuchet launchings, and aerialists, will also be used to scan the crowds of thousands and protect them as pyrates are welcomed onto the grounds…as we know that our heart and soul, giving our time so others can give to our cause, the library, will never fail in the face of any challenge…so come see the battle and sure, glorious victor of chivalry, yet again this September.

This years faire will again feature its olde favorites such as jousting knights, flying birds of prey, firebreathers, aerialists, and Living Literature while hosting historical shire events and demonstrations. More than 30 acts will grace the fairegrounds and provide continuous entertainment and exhibits fill the 8 stages, and faireways, that have become so profitable and reknowned that this year, rumors have it that Pyrates may be invading the grounds to pursue the riches. We are sure that the power of the cause led by prices of a mere $5 and all riches earmarked for charity, that the village glen will not only rejoice an intriguing new guests but band together for an even more profitable and glorious year in which overcome the initial plans of their new “guests.” But how, you must come and see.

Interactive activities for visitors will fill the day as each performers is accustomed to visiting and guiding patrons in their craft. Patrons will spin, weave, juggle, dance, and learn to play music in addition to the many lessons at the renaissance School of Fine Arts, Living History pavilion, and Kids Kingdom interactive playland. It I here where wee not only see have to play chess with actors as well as chess pieces that stand 3 feet tall, but also if they so dare, participate in the kinds Quest, they too can become part of the show at the closing ceremonies…yes they can be part of the joust show.

Games olde and new fill the grounds, ratapult, throwing fits, castleplunk, chickenshot into a pot, Jacobs ladder, thrown weapons, and more. But the animals lovers are not left out, with pony rides, carriages and a royal petting zoo stretched across the faire.

The entrance banners proudly boast that the whole world is a stage, and that one will suspend disbelief when entering the grounds....if one does take thes tep back in tyme, the spoils will be grand to thee... but what does not have to be suspended is the incredible bargain the faire offers all. An authentic faire with a flare, and all for but a $5, for a Cause....come one, come all, have fun, and do thee community well.. HUZZAH!!!
