Lakewood Renaissance Fair demo on Sep 21-22 (see message below)
Ghosts, Ghouls and Goblins on Oct 11
Their Excellencies of Carillion are appointed by the Reigning Monarchs after consulting the Populace of the Barony. They represent their Royal Majesties and with their grace hold courts where they can recognize the people of Carillion with Baronial Awards and gifts.
The annual Lakewood Renaissance Fair is September 20 & 21 this year.
The fair is now run by the Knights of Valor, so there are some changes.
We will not be doing any fighting or archery demos this year. The Knights of Valor have their own people for these demos.
We will only be doing a booth where we will be showing our creativity. Also, demos are welcome. Please let me know what you would like to do.
I would love to have your items for display even if you cannot attend. Please contact me to arrange pickup. I promise to take good care of your work!
We are also doing our very popular make&take crafts for kids. Our Chancellor Minor, Rosie Posie, will have all the materials ready for volunteers to assist the kids.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! I would like to schedule 3 shifts per day with 3 people minimum for each time slot. While some of us will be there both days, it’s still nice to have time to shop and get food!
We have to provide a list to the gate for our volunteers to be admitted free, so please let me know if you are planning to help out.
Priority will be given to officers and residents of the Barony.
The shifts are:
Opening to 12 noon
12 noon to 3pm
3pm to close.
Set up help on Friday afternoon and breakdown help on Sunday after the fair closes is also needed.
We will also need help getting our stuff from storage at Quail Hill on Friday and returning it on Sunday evening.
Camping is available for volunteers only.
Please message or email me at lakewoodrf@carillion.

The Barony of Carillion is located in the East Kingdom of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). It covers all of Ocean, Monmouth, Mercer, as well as parts of Burlington and Middlesex counties. We have two cantons: Forestgate (currently in abeyance) and The Keep by the Endless Sea. As a group we learn about life in the Middle Ages by getting involved in activities such as brewing, fighting, fencing, archery, calligraphy, music, dancing, cooking, and costuming among others.
What is the SCA?
The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) is an international non-profit volunteer educational organization. The SCA is devoted to the research and re-creation of pre-seventeenth century skills, arts, combat, culture, and employing knowledge of history to enrich the lives of participants through events, demonstrations, and other educational presentations and activities.
Members of the SCA study and take part in a variety of activities, including combat, archery, equestrian activities, costuming, cooking, metalwork, woodworking, music, dance, calligraphy, fiber arts, and much more. If it was done in the Middle Ages or Renaissance, odds are you’ll find someone in the SCA interested in recreating it.
