Happy Friday everyone! All sorts of things to do this weekend...whether you like 70's rock and roll....or maybe you'd like to step further back in time....to the middle ages, perhaps.

Of course we're talking about the Hoggetowne Medieval Faire, back for it's 26th year. Actors, musicians and street performers will provide a festive atmosphere King Arthur would have enjoyed. You can cheer for your favorite knight's as they joust in full armor and even view a living chess match. And, of course, there's food! The Hoggetowne Medieval Faire is at the Alachua County Fairgrounds, 2900 NE 39th Avenue near the Gainesville Regional Airport. It runs from 10 to 6 Saturday and Sunday for the next two weekends.
