This is a place where medieval times come to life. Fairies, minstrel music, magic and dragons. You can practice your archery, learn how to crack a whip for free or watch a sword fight. Some of the tactics used are interesting. Now imagine two men dressed in armor fighting it out for all to see.

Lots of people get into this and come in costume. Others do not. This is held on the ground of the Tile Works building which is like an olde castle. They have tours and you can see things being made of clay or walk up a narrow staircase to the balustrade that overlooks the entire event and take it all in.
Admission is just $15.00. Souvenirs are reasonable. You can get little trinkets for about $5.00 or you can spend upwards of $60.00 for a handmade wind spinner in the shape of a cat, fox or other animal . Smaller ones are available for $25.00
