MaRS wants you!

- Do you enjoy standing around in a Pillory for hours?
- Do you value the occasional stint on the rack to straighten your back?
- Do you like long hours working a bellows or standing over a roaring fire?

In all seriousness do you have a skill/craft (from pre-1600 AD) that you are interested in demonstrating or are you willing to learn one?

We are always on the lookout for people who share our love of history and 'edutainment' to join us at festivals, renaissance faires, and educational demonstrations for schools, scout troops, etc.

If this is something you think you might enjoy, please leave us a message here on Facebook.

We guarantee they will be the hardest weekends you will ever enjoy!

It is with sadness that I announce MaRS will not be participating in the Renaissance Festival at the Bellevue Berry & Pumpkin Ranch this year. The producer has decided to change the line-up of attractions at the Faire and chose not to invite us back. We will be at Fremont Days in July and at the Des Moines Faire in September.
