| Renaissance Rapture at St. Peter, Covington
Renaissance week at St. Peter School, Covington was total immersion for all students, grades pre-kindergarten through eight. The Study of the era was incorporated into all areas of the curriculum. And it spilled over into the hallways, as each grade took responsibility for decorating part of the hall in a Renaissance theme. Midweek, there was a special Resourceful Recess, with the students and faculty dressed in clothing representing the era, and games and visiting instructors adding to the fun.

Renaissance/Medieval Fair links (Provided by E. Horr, Houston, TX):

This is a huge collection of all sorts of stuff, from CVs on virtually
everybody who currently works with/for/at any faire in the country...to
what is running when, and where, etc. etc. plus tons of links.
http://www.renaissance.dm.net/compendium/home.html
This is a "Compendium of Common Knowledge" targeted toward cast members
of Elizabethan period faires. It was put together by somebody from
one of the California Pleasure Faires (**much** more historically v/s theatrically
oriented than most) and everybody in the world uses it.

Oddly enough, this address gives onto the "Elizabethan Costuming Page,"
which is fabulous and fascinating to anybody interested in building an
English male/female/noble/peasant costume that's period from roughly 1520-1600.
Everything from underwear to hats, gloves, etc.

newsletters and links to bizarre little factoids, etc.
