This special event brings the excitement of the Middle Ages to Morris!  Join us for an afternoon of fun and excitement as several medieval performers entertain and inform you of life in days of yore:

* Lady Joan welcomes you to the faire, poses for portraits with faire-goers, and tells the story of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.
* The wandering Jester juggles and performs magic for your delight.
* The Falconer and the birds of prey explain the importance of falconry in the Middle Ages.

Three cheers for Sir Randall!  This noble knight is visiting the library on Tuesday, July 12 and is looking forward to meeting the lads and lasses of the city of Morris in the shire of Grundy.  Sir Randall wears a mid-15th Century replica "harness," or suit of armour, and speaks about a knight's training and equipment.  Audience volunteers help illustrate the progression of armour and the affects of weapons which were designed to penetrate them.
