More photos from Saturday's Medieval Faire

If you were like me Saturday, you traveled back in time a few hundred years visiting Carr Park.

The library hosted its second Medieval Faire, this time taking advantage of the large space on the park on the west side of Manchester. As soon as you arrived, you spotted people wearing hats they wouldn't wear today, heard the clanging of the metal worker and heard the trumpet of the heralder announce events about to take place.

The big event had to be the sword fighting, where demonstrators from Jackson and Ann Arbor were on hand to answer questions and act as a medieval resource.

And even the animal lovers had something to look forward to: a pen of Great Danes came out, as well as a hawk used for falconry. It was quite the scene.

Here are some other photos from the event, as well as a compilation video I compiled from Saturday's faire:
