Middlefaire

[1] These were Texas Pirate Festival held in June, Magical & Medieval Fantasy Faire in early October, Arts & Crafts Fair in late October and Renaissance Festival in November.

Other notable figures were the Duke of Orleans played by Dean Papst.

[3][4] The fair site was located at 8581 State Highway 171 at the intersection of County Road 1458, five miles north of Hillsboro.

[4] All three fairs featured a variety of merchandise and entertainers, typically singers, belly dancers, skits, musicians, pub sings, sword fights, jousting, pirate battles with historic working cannons, and other entertainments.

While the site was primarily mid 17th century, this was not strictly adhered to, especially with the fantasy-themed Magical & Medieval Fantasy Faire[1]
