PHOTOS: Knights, vikings, fortunetellers and peddlers return to Bashaw

2nd annual Bashaw Medieval Faire and Artisan Market drew good crowds

The second annual Bashaw Medieval Faire and Artisan Market was held at the Bashaw Ag Grounds on July 15 and 16. There was armored combat re-enactment, live jousting, a viking village, magic shows, bardic storytelling, “Fight the Knight” for kids, and many market vendors, from the mystical and magical to the fascinating, and of course, plenty of food and libations.

Unfortunately, some of the younger horses were feeling temperamental during the first jousting event on Sunday afternoon, July 16, and the knights weren’t able to face each other at full charge. (Photos by Emily Jaycox/Bashaw Star)
