For two weekends in the middle of May, the New Hampshire
Renaissance Faire transports the
beautiful Three Maples Farm in Kingston back to a magical time. The faire
kicked off last weekend, and will be held again this weekend, May 19-20, from
10 to 5 p.m. each day at 9 Thorne Road, in Kingston. Your family can come and enjoy the sights and sounds of
medieval and renaissance times, including such activities as knight fights,
known as live steel fighting, wandering minstrels, court jesters, jugglers, and
even belly-dancers. Or just relax and have tea with the Queen. There are lots
of food and drink items to enjoy,
or shop for period costumes and garb.
After this two weekend event, a portion of the proceeds will
go to some great charities. This year the main charity is the New Hampshire Food Bank.
NHRF is also raising money for First Star
Tonight through their popular Wench & Lad Auction. First Start
Tonight provides support for terminally-ill children, young adults and their
families in the New Hampshire area. So, not only will you have a great time,
you are also helping to contribute to fantastic charities. Tickets for this
event are: $12.50 for adults, $8 for kids from ages 5 -12. Kids age 4 and under will be free. For
