What some guy says: "Now if you really want a taste of what it is like to step back in time, this is the event for you. Not only do the employees dress in the olden days attire, but tons of the guests do too. There is so much to do and see here. From watching men in armor jousting, to every booth along every walkway just exploding with a taste from the olden days. They do have a children’s area also. Rides and games and contests run every weekend. Each day it is open has its own special event to attend. There is entertainment everywhere here. I have lived in Michigan most of my life and have attended this festival almost every year. I never tire of it. With so much to see and so much to do there is no possible way to ever get enough."
