Come to the Renaissance Faire!

Spend your Saturday at the Renaissance Faire Castle at Wonderplex. Enjoy a feast fit for a monarch in the dining hall or in the picnic grove. Take a minute or two to attend a recital in the music room. See a blacksmith at work creating weapons and armor. Search the library for unusual books. Take advantage of the second floor viewing boxes to watch the jousting demonstrations and archery contests. Each child will have the choice of a wooden sword or bow and arrow to take home.

Costumes are available for anyone wanting to dress for the times. At least one lucky family will be invited to stay the night in one of the castle's suites and have a hearty breakfast the following morning. Minstrels will be wandering grounds to entertain guests. A king and/or queen will be crowned to reign over the day's events. Keep an eye open for our fairy princess, who will be granting a few wishes.

As a safety precaution, due to the use of open fires for cooking and at the blacksmith's forge along with weapons being in use, children under ten must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or someone on the child care team.

Modern restroom facilities are located beneath the clock tower near the front of the castle.

((The castle will be vapored as open all day if anyone wants to post what their characters have gotten up to or use it as a background in play. The live event will begin on 16 April at 9PM ET in the Great Hall))

Pirates, princesses, and ker-niggets were the style of the day for the Storms when they dropped by to spend the day at the Renaissance Faire. The Wonderplex was just the place for kids of all ages - it was only right that Children's Day should be hosted by the same place.

The Fenner Sisters convinced their mother to take them to the Castle opening. They were all set to participate in the archery contest. http://cfc.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-set/.sig/fHAuI9QbBw4ABplA8iL3bg/cid/196245111/id/aADOMTME5hGbMP_EzX_htA/size/c600x439.jpg

Andu decided to make it easy on himself carting around a bunch of younglings for the event......In addition to Short pants, loose tunic, belt rope and sandals.....He will be wearing a small sailing ship on his head and braced between his horns. A looong boarding ladder will trail down from the stern to his waist.

About like this.... The idea... http://stamps.umich.edu/images/uploads/blog/Ship-Hat.jpg http://stamps.umich.edu/images/uploads/blog/Ship-Hat.jpg This is closer to the actual ship model used. https://pixabay.com/en/sail-ship-tall-ship-sail-ships-254034/ https://pixabay.com/static/uploads/photo/2014/01/29/04/04/sail-ship-254034_960_720.jpg
