The group recently won first place for authenticity in Middle Eastern Dance at the 16th Annual International Belly Dance Pageant held in San Francisco. Also on the 89 entertainment agenda is a magician, costumed in scarves and robes of the period, who performs sleight of hand tricks characteristic of the Renaissance. A junior Shakespeare group from Salt Lake will also perform comedic excerpts both on the street and stage. Added attractions for children at this years Faire include a petting zoo, a crown bounce and many more games, said Homer. This year is the first year the Faire has had a continuous run, which according to Homer, is good news for vendors who no longer have to dismantle and reconstruct their booths. Homer said there are still openings for vendors who wish to have a booth to display their wares. We will still accept applications up to the last minute, she said, adding that she wants to see the entire park filled with booths. Those vendors offering food are required to pay a refundable $50 deposit and a $125 fee for the entire 10 days. For a craft booth, the deposit is $25 and the fee $65. Homer said a daily fee is available to those who cannot make the y commitment. The first weekend of the Faire will be highlighted with the Lord Mayor of Cedar Citys Processional led by the honorable Robert H. Linford and Lady Helen Linford in authentically reproduced costume. Processional organizers Rick and Kathy Bryant say the period-garbe- d dignitaries will be followed by costumed commoners, jugglers and colorful characters who will lure spectators into the Main Street processional down to the activities at the city park. In keeping with the Renaissance spirit of the Festival City, those participating in the Faire will also be costumed. Homer told the vendors, You can look like a wench, a hag or whatever, 10-da- but not like royalty. Homer also said volunteers are still needed in various capacities. I hope people will be pleased with the look of the park and this years Faire, she said. Im very excited about it.
