Shrewsbury Renaissance Faire An “educational
interactive adventure in history,” this ren fair invites
you to get blythe and merry “just 15 miles and 500
2 012
years away” from Corvallis. From Merry Merchants
to Fyne Feating to Friar Tuck’s Forest, Shrewsbury
has oodles to offer: reenactments, grub, bonnets
and bloomers, and ever so much more. The Villager
Guidebooke, which is ostensibly meant for those
applying to vend or otherwise work the faire, is a
surprisingly entertaining read, but if you start asking
“How stands the hour?” you’re absolutely allowed
to insist that you be parched and must away.
10am-6pm today & tomorrow, Kings Valley, www.
shrewfaire.com or 929-4897. $11, $5 ages 6-12 &
seniors, under 5 FREE.
