My Ocean Springs: 2007 in Pictures

St. John’s Episcopal Church hosted the sixth annual Renaissance Faire on a sunny weekend in May at a new location on the corner of Lemoyne Boulevard and Washington Avenue. The Renaissance Faire raises money each spring for local charities while providing medieval-themed education and entertainment for the entire family. This year’s faire featured the internationally renowned Knights of Valour who traveled from Canada to put on a jousting exhibition, as well as the local chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism, who recreated a Medieval village and taught the finer points of armored sword fighting and Medieval dancing. In the featured picture, Alan Clampett of Gautier, the local baron of the SCA chapter, presides from his Baronial chambers.
