Village Renaissance Faire theme for Sept 16 & 17 announced by Period Productions

17 years ago, Dave was impressed by the community faire Ken Hone created so he joined forces and has taken the entertainment to new levels.

The Faire is less than a week away and Period Productions who is in charge of all entertainment which brings history and fantasy to reality at the Village Renaissance Faire, has announced its version of a trailer, cliff notes, or say a synposis. David Bronovicki simply says, "To the Victor goes the Spoils"

Briefly, the War with the Saxon’s comes to a bloody stalemate and Arthur convenes the Round Table council to discuss. However of late the King has been moody and secretive. Above all the knights fear for Guinevere who has not been seen in many months. Some knights press for peace and others to push their advantage. None know that Arthur’s real intention for this meeting is to gather his knights to meet with a Saxon delegation.

Guinevere manipulates Hengist into accepting Arthur’s terms for peace. Arthur uses the Saxon way of the strongest must rule to goad Hengist into a tournament where Arthur places the crown of Camelot on the line as prize. Simply defeat Arthur and the crown is yours. However he puts this challenge to any and all. The Saxons, regardless of their king, see an opportunity to grab power for themselves. Hengist, not to be outdone, puts his own crown on the line.

It is a winner take all tournament.

What else is new, performers like the walking tree, Harry Noggins story-telling theatre and tree wishes, and Chaste Treasure, join the added international flares from the Italian Renaissance through Orlando Furioso and new football field sized celtic highland games and intro to Quidditch, or games like dragon-sized battle ship and othello, and so, so much more.
