Becoming a Renaissance Faire Lady

Sara Kerens

Whiskey's bravery in ogre slaying won her the honor of firing off the end-of-day cannon, thanks to her training by Magnus Krane (Allen Hopps) and Sir Daniel Raptus (Daniel Carro). Surprisingly, no one died when the cannon went off.

It was a fine way to end my monster-hunting education, shooting wooden darts at an ogre, yet another special effects wonder courtesy of Allen Hopps' endless dedication to creepiness. And the sweet little Faire kids enjoyed tossing the great foam ogre's bloodied head around after I emerged victorious from the beast's lair behind the monster museum. But the best was yet to come: At the end of the Faire day, I was hustled up to the front gate parapet to fire off the closing cannon, bringing another medieval weekend to an end. Nothing blew up, and everyone walked away with their limbs. Indeed, everyone in Scarborough lived happily ever after—except for the ogre. And the zombies. And the gremlins. And the fairies. And the trolls. And the banshees. And the kraken. And the area's surrounding craft and building supplies—for Raptus and Krane will stop at nothing to slay and display every evil beast that walks (or floats, or flies) upon the earth.
