FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

The Bay Area Renaissance Festival at MOSI

Returns to Fittlesworth!

 

bullet(Tampa, Fla.) – The Bay Area Renaissance Festival at MOSI returns, weekends February 23, 2008 – April 6, 2008 10am - 6pm, plus Friday, March 28, 10am - 4pm.

The Bay Area Regional Longbow Competition will be held at 10:00 am in the “green” at the Bay Area Renaissance Festival, March 1st and 2nd and will consist of local and area members of the Florida Archery Association, Traditional Bow Hunters of Florida and the members of the Festival’s own archery team.  Archers and four guests are admitted free of charge to the Festival that day. The archers will begin at 10 yards and continue to retreat for up to 100 yards in this first annual competition held by the Bay Area Renaissance Festival. Rules and registration are at www.renaissancefest.com. Longbows and recurves are allowed. No compound bows. Robin Hood will be presenting the awards to the winners at 11:00 am both Saturday and Sunday.

For 30 years the Bay Area Renaissance Festival has delighted visitors with an authentic taste of life in England almost 500 years ago. The Festival has a cast of over 300 professional actors and musicians. The royal court is led by King Henry VIII himself and His Majesty’s sixth and final wife, Queen Catherine Parr, who will once again welcome guests to shire of Fittlesworth, charming guests of all ages.

Music is of course central to the Renaissance Festival’s shire! Bagpipes, harps, flutes, drums, violins, song and more fill the lanes from the moment the front gates open until the cannon sounds at closing gate.

 

Forty thousand pounds of world famous turkey legs are on their way to Fittlesworth as well as a host of other treats found only at the Renaissance Festival.

At every turn artisans can be seen demonstrating their talents in a wide variety of media. Ceramic ware, jewelry, clothing, accessories, games and toys, blown glass and intricate leather work can all be found with a 16th century spin found only at the Renaissance Festival. The process to exhibit at the Renaissance Festival includes a jury procedure that begins for the artisan’s months in advance for only the finest craftspeople. Only a little over 100 exhibitors are honored each year.

 

 

Children learn about a time of queens, knights, princesses, elves, faeries, dragons and magic. Additional offerings include the Feast of Fantasy, an exquisite six-course meal complete with entertainment and souvenirs, the Royal High Tea with the Queen and the Renaissance Smoker, a bawdy production for adults only.
