NEW FOR 2003 2003 was great year for the faire. This year saw the addition of three new stages including the two-story Highland Manor stage. In addition to the new stages there were new acts, a new theme, and more seating for eating or resting. This year the faire changed historical periods to celebrate Queen Elizabeth.
