Providing an educational resource for our community is the largest component of Virago Alley’s mission as a non profit organization. We were thrilled to receive the call from @rvalibrary Westover Hill’s branch to create a historical display and to provide children’s fencing demos for their September 20th Renaissance Faire & Market! Don’t miss this free family event and fundraiser from 11-4pm at Westover Hills, Check out their full schedule of events below!

Fall Festival Renaissance Faire

Huzzah! The Hills of Westo’er Library invites you to a full day of merrymaking fit to delight kings, queens, and fair folk of all ages at our Fall Festival Renaissance Faire. This family-friendly event will have activities for everyone with Virago Alley providing historical displays of crafts, tools, and weapon demonstrations. Perchance you will find a trinket you desire from one of the merchants selling their wares. There will be crafts, face painting, and a prize contest for best Faire attire!
