This year is the 31st anniversary of the festival. This season the faire was trying out something new-theme weekends. The village of New Market is celebrating Queen Katherine's birthday. The party's theme is left to the discretion of the Queen. This particularly fine weekend she chose the glories of ancient Rome. Therefore it was decreed that a Roman bachannal was in order along with other fine Italian treats. Many fine patrons dressed for the occasion and partook in a toga contest.

The previous description and all these wonderful images are brought to you by Frank Hui. Because of his devotion, I have nothing to add. --Robyn Sotherby

And a gallant one at that	A great family look	They got points for having drinks	A good variety of outfits
A striking warrior	Last was this famous queen	This is Pirate's Cove, a new extension of Pirate's Treasure	Breaking in garb from Pendragon
You can catch this at a shop near the Castle stage	Enjoying the Bower	She creates a lovely setting	As does someone else
I keep getting drawn back to their sound	A different enchanted creature	Jenny has her eye on my friend	And she acts on it
