Welcome to the NHRF 2010 Act's Area!

So much to do, so little time... or not! Sat. and Sun., both weekends, we'll be open from 10am-5pm. On Saturday the 15th be sure to come before the gates close at 5pm if you'd like to stay for the Beltane Celebration too at roughly 5:30pm.

Besides shopping and music and singing there are many other fun things to do at the faire, many of which are free! Please note that the "staff" are volunteers so please consider tipping if you like their performance, they are volunteering their talents to make this not-for-profit event be able to help a local charity!
