Las Vegas Community Events – Age of Chivalry
Las Vegas Community Events – Age of Chivalry – Sunset Park
Are you ready for a little chivalry? For the 16th year, a medieval kingdom will take over Sunset Park with lavishly costumed knights, knaves, fine ladies and wenches as CBS Radio, Miller Lite and Clark County Parks and Recreation present the annual Age of Chivalry Renaissance Festival, Oct. 9-11.
At the 2007 event Christopher Biro’s Pirate’s Parrot Show was pretty astonishing. Biro is a well known advocate of bird free-flight and a highly regarded trainer. He has over seventy parrots in his menagrie many of which are rescue birds. I’m not sure if he is scheduled in this year?
Rough looking group.
This brings you back to the days of yore. The kids loved this stuff.
