Also, on Saturday and Sunday during the day in Guilford, you'll want to check out the Robin Hood Faire:
"One of the questions we get asked most is, “What made you decide to create the Robin Hood Springtime Festival?” The short answer is: to share the magic of something that has been special to us since we were children.As children we attended a Renaissance Festival together for the first time. None of us were sure what to expect, but the idea of stepping back in time sounded like it could be fun. I wish there had been a photographer there to catch the look on our faces as we stepped through the front gate, because it was that moment we had become enchanted by it all." Read more.
Also, on Friday, don't miss the Farmer's Market on the Madison Green from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m!
