Ticket prices are just $10 for adults and $5 for children 12 years of age and under. The events start at 8 a.m. each day, continuing into the late afternoon and culminating in Best In Show judging around 6 p.m.The Saturday and Sunday shows are benched shows, which means that the purebreds are on display to the public throughout the day, as opposed to most dog shows where the entries come and go according to the time when they are judged. The appeal to spectators - especially children and parents who want to bring man's best friend into their home - is that they can see the entries up close and personal, talk to owners and handlers, learn about the 150 plus breeds and have their picture taken with the canine stars. There are over 3,000 dog shows in the United States each year and only five are benched shows.The Kennel Club officials expect 15,000 spectators at the Expo Center over the weekend, visiting with America's top dogs and checking out scores of vendors and nonprofit animal organizations. More than 150 breeds will compete in a ladder elimination format Saturday for Best in Breed, Best in Group and at the end of the day, Best in Show honors. The National Dog Show Presented by Purina, will be telecast nationally by NBC as a t

Comments:The Village Renaissance Faire is a recreation of a 12th through 16th century village named Penn's Park.
It is conveniently set on the beautiful, and generously donated, Middletown Grange Fairgrounds located minutes from Philadelphia, New Jersey, Montgomery County and anywhere in Bucks County Pennsylvania.
The Village consists of eight stages and various sets: Merchant Squares, Living History Pavilions, Food Courts, Gaming area, Multi-cultural enclaves, Craft Corners, and Kid's Kingdom.
One weekend every year the fairgrounds are transformed into the ultimate family festival with stories, intrigues, history, crafts, varied entertainment, and interactive play. The Village has all the entertainment, crafts, food, and history befitting the interest and entertainment of everyone, from peasantry to nobility, youth to seniors.
The Village awakens each day at 11:00 am for visitors to wander about and become accustomed to the village layout before the grand procession and a full day's worth of activities.
"A fair field full of folk found I there." - Piers Ploughman
William Langland
1362-1390
As one explores the lovely re-created grounds, it may be impossible not to pause for a moment to listen to a musician, watch a mime, or interact with the countless characters, performers, and demonstrators.
The Living History Pavilion provides the opportunity to watch the mending of armor, henna tattoos, the illumination of manuscripts, hand-to-hand combat and archery, among other demonstrations.
It will be difficult to decide what to do (or what to do first) as performers fill multiple stages and sets begin every half-hour.
Performers provide a wealth of offerings. See a fire-juggler, watch authentic hand to hand combat and live steele, watch a human chess match, listen to music and choral groups, and be enraptured with mimes, knights, archers, and fair maidens. The Faire has non-stop entertainment for all ages.
