Sound ye trumpets, shine thine armour, sharpen ye olde sword, lace thy corsets and braid thy long, shining tresses. Gather thy children and challenge your imaginations with tales from ye Middle Ages. The Olde English Faire returns for the fifth time to Wildlife Prairie Park on June 20, 21, & 22, 2014. This fundraiser for Wildlife Prairie Park pays tribute to the sights, sounds, aromas, speech and activities of the Middle Ages. Come cheer on steel fighters, jousters and archers as they compete in mock battles. There are over 30 different performances to enjoy and four of them have been named as best Renaissance Acts in the Country by Renaissance Magazine. Take in the tales, tricks, and tunes of roving story tellers, magicians, and musicians. Children can take the oath of chivalry. Watch the acrobats, musical acts and comedians amongst the flora and fauna of the park. You can shop with over 30 fine artisans for treasures galore…fine leatherwork, glasswork and handmade jewelry. There will be plenty of hearty food…yes the famous turkey legs are back…and beverages offered throughout the Park, as well as shaded areas to rest, restroom facilities and free parking.
