Much as expected there is every sign that the nest on the facade of Blessed Sacrament Church is in use again this season.

Who are we to argue?

“January 6 – 9, 2010: The original Renaissance Pleasure Faire will transform the Egyptian Theatre’s Courtyard into an Elizabethan Village with food, vendors, craft demos and entertainment from the time of King and Queens. Inside the King’s Palace (or should we say the Pharoah’s Palace) tales of knighthood, quests for riches, revenge and revelry, not to mention a smattering of faeries, serpents and ravens will unspool on the giant screen…”
