Medieval times

The Renaissance Faire returned to Lakewood's Pine Park on Sept. 15-16 and thrilled visitors with events and activities that brought the Middle Ages to life. The annual event is a fundraiser for the Lakewood Lions Club. Above, Sir Michael of Ananopolis, Michael Elderkin of Canada, is knocked from his horse during a joust.
