Halloween Daze & Spooky Knights

October 18-19 • Weekend 11

Visit the Executioner at Halloween at the Faire

 

Peasants and nobles alike prepare to celebrate everyone's favorite holiday All Hallow's Eve.

Help celebrate this hauntingly wonderful time by dressing in costume and you can bet your broom stick that the Faire will finish with a bang with lots of fun & prizes for all ages!

"Skull Annihilator"

bock” is exceptionally malty with very
little bitterness, brewed using traditional
Germanic brewing techniques featuring 8.3% ABV. Moderation is the rule of the day.
