“Mythical Creature Quest” Comes to Wilder Creek/MDL Summer Reading Finale

Troubadour Shares a Tune at the Castle

Over 100 creature questers gathered at Wilder Creek Conservation Club on August 2 to polish off their Marshall District Library summer reading adventure. “Local” royalty, jesters, bards, troubadours, and wizards rallied at the castle and surrounding courtyards to entertain adventure seekers.

During planning, Shauna Swantek, Head of Programming and Community Engagement, noted, “We’re getting excited to pull together our magical plans for a “very” mini Renaissance Faire at Wilder Creek so very soon.”

The royal court provided fanciful crafts, medieval games, and music. Participants took shelter from a sudden downpour at the pavilion for the bard’s telling of a magical tale in which even “believing” adults could partake.

Angela Semifero, Marshall District Library Director, said, “We are so very happy that you’re (Wilder Creek) partnering with us again for our end-of-summer party! Thank you for having a beautiful castle for us to feature in our newsletter. 🙂 We are grateful.” “Princess,” Angela regaled the courtiers with her usual extravagant joy.
