An Annual Event in Galesburg Michigan    ↑   ↓ 

Here’s an event the whole family looks forward to come summertime. Skajler in particular likes to view the antique style weapons on display for sale. Also there are various kinds of entertainment.

  1. Battling Knights    ↑   → 

    It wouldn’t be a faire without at least a little mayhem.

  3. Statue     ←   ↑   → 

    This statue seemed most unlifelike...until she moved. Next came the cast on parade.

  4. Jester     ←   ↑   → 

    There are several shows around the camp. Here we have a truly hilarious jester who likes to involve the audience.

  5. Bunny Fencing     ←   ↑   → 

    Skajler and Lucas face off for a bout of bunny fencing. The object here is to pop the opponent’s baloons. This match ended in perfect draw. Both popped each other’s 2nd balloon at the exact same instant.

  9. Falconry     ←   ↑ 

    We took in a very fine show about falconry. That is Michigans only lady falconer with her owls, kestrel, hawk and even a pair of eagles.
