The fair itself consists of booths selling handmade merchandise, places to eat, animal exhibits, and a jousting field. The fantasy-spell of the fair is heightened by having people play the parts of Renaissance characters.
Fair Maiden 4601 If the romantic ideal of Renaissance life is depicted by the fair, cold reality lies just outside. The traveling acts such as a husband-and-wife comedy team live in trailers just out of sight of the fairgrounds. The area is crowded and noisy with blaring music. Somewhat farther away is the meadow where visitors to the fair park their cars, and beyond that is a nearby airport where planes can be heard taking off.
