Costume contest, court dances, magic, and vendors

Come one, come all, to David A. Howe Library’s Second Annual Renaissance Faire on Saturday, September 13. Festivities will commence on the library lawn at 5 p.m. and conclude around 7 p.m. just after the costume contest prizes are announced. The first year was amazing and the library is ready to welcome the community back to continue this new tradition.
The event will include a variety of fun activities for all ages, starting with Ye Olde Story Corner, with Nic Gunning at 5. Kate Elliott will lead Renaissance Trivia at 5:30; attendees can compete individually or in teams. Then, at 6, Sarah Keeler, from Genesee Dance Theatre will teach interested fairgoers a dance inspired by court dances of the Italian Renaissance. And, of course, all attendees are welcome to participate in our previously-mentioned costume contest, with judging to begin at 6:45 p.m.
For those who prefer to follow their whims, there will be plenty of unscheduled activities to enjoy. A magician will visit to entertain with sleight of hand and a tarot reader will provide more spirited fun. Local vendors, including ScandinaviRen’s, will be on site for those in the mood to shop. A local group of musicians will perform Renaissance-inspired tunes. Crafts and lawn games – like giant chess – will be available for all. And the library is still working on some other surprises to round out the evening.
If the weather is nasty, the Faire will be postponed until September 20, 5-7 p.m. The library’s Facebook page is the best place to find out about any schedule changes.
