Two fest-goers have an impromptu duel with padded swords.

Glee Violette of Rhode Island portrays “Grannie Gruesome,” a zombie “who doesn’t know she’s dead” and sings quirky songs about the undead.

Katherine Bryant of Cambridge has some fun creat- ing giant bubbles.

Blacksmith Shane Stainton of New York passes a knife to newlyweds Trevor and Elizabeth Fragale of Maine.

Faire-goers featured a wide spectrum of garb, from common street clothes to more-or-less accurate medieval wear to outright fantasy outfits, including cat face paint, fairy wings and elf ears.

Diabolis in Musica plays mostly instrumental pieces from a variety of European Medieval areas. 6 •THE CHARLTON VILLAGER• Friday, June 24, 2011 www.charltonvillager.com HARRISON LANDSCAPING 508-248-5488 155 Hammond Hill Rd., Charlton Call us now, for all of your landscaping & mowing needs!
