Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire

“The year is 1589, and there is so much to celebrate! The long-feared Spanish Armada has just been crushed by the resilient English Navy. England is at the dawn of a Golden Age. And, best of all, the good Shire of Mt. Hope is having its 30th birthday! With so many reasons for revelry, everyone is gearing up to throw the most fantastical party that the Shire has e’er seen!” There will be unicorns and turkey legs for everyone! Crazy old ladies who normally live in the woods and cast spells will instead live in huts and cast spells … for YOU! There will be jousting (obs!) and chain mail and other, perhaps less anachronistic pursuits! It is a Renaissance Faire! Love it!

“The wondrous fantasy unfolds Saturdays, Sundays and Labor Day Monday for 12 weekends, 11AM – 8PM, August 14 through October 31. The Faire is set amidst the splendor of the formal gardens of Mount Hope Estate & Winery, Route 72, ½ mile south of PA Turnpike Exit 266, 15 miles north of Lancaster and 14 miles east of Hershey. Visit PaRenFaire.com for complete show details, advance click-to-print discount tickets and helpful tips for a fun-filled Faire day. Information is available through the Faire Box Office by calling (717) 665-7021.”

Now if you didn’t have the quotes, could you tell which parts were real and which parts I wrote? Didn’t think so.
