The Great Lakes Medieval Fair
A hardy band of medieval rangers, accustomed to the ancient whispers of Caesars Creek waters and the deep mysteries of the forests, now venture north. Their well-worn leathers and sturdy bows are out of place amidst the fantastical sights and sounds of the Great Lakes Medieval Faire, yet their keen eyes and wilderness instincts remain sharp. They seek not beasts or outlaws here, but rather the camaraderie of fellow travelers, the allure of hearty food, and perhaps a tall tale or two to carry back to their distant greenwoods.
Festival of the Children of Odin
The Rangers will be participating in the Festival of the Children of Odin for the first time in July. We will be displaying and demonstrating the skills that we practice to the public as well as providing light training in some of those skills. We hope that you'll come join us as we display a glimpse of what it was like to be a Ranger.
The Great Camelot Renaissance Festival
The Rangers of the Wild will journey from the deepest forests to the grand gates of the Great Camelot Renaissance Faire! Usually found tracking game or navigating forgotten trails, these skilled woodsmen and women are here to share their invaluable knowledge of wilderness survival. Join them at their encampment as they demonstrate essential skills like fire-starting, shelter-building, cooking over the fire, and even the art of archery. Learn how to thrive, not just survive, in the wild – a skill that might just save your life, even in a land of knights and dragons!
Ohio Renaissance Fantasy Weekend
Amidst the local rolling hills of Harveysburg, Ohio, the Rangers of the Wilds trade their forest patrols for a weekend of merriment at the Ohio Renaissance Festival! Usually found protecting the untamed reaches of the realm, these guardians of nature now wander the lanes of fictional 16th-century England, their practical leather and earthy tones blending surprisingly well with the garb of villagers and knights. Keep an eye out for their keen gazes taking in the joust, their quiet appreciation of the artisan crafts, and perhaps even a hearty laugh shared over a tankard of ale – a rare but welcome respite for those who stand watch over the wilds.
