GALLERY: Hear Ye Hear Ye! The Rambler Hosts the First Ever Transy Renaissance Fair

Huzzah! On Thursday, October 16th in Alumni Plaza, we — the Rambler — hosted Transy’s first ever Renaissance Fair with great success! The event included many collaborations with faculty and clubs, and brought in an amazing crowd of students in a display of festive fall campus camaraderie. SAB hosted the Costume Contest – judged by President Lewis, Ryan Benjamin, and Marigold Ramsey – which included three categories with amazing prizes: Spencer Page winning a leather notebook for “Most Historically Accurate” as Joan of Arc, Katie Axon winning a chess/checkers set for “Most Unique” as a colorful Jester, and Hannah Goss winning a mug for “Most Detailed” in her layers of renaissance garb as the caricature lady. A crafts table hosted by Transy’s TEAL organization and Arts Professor Grace Ramsey included the making of flower crowns and festive headbands. Transy’s very own Caf food services hosted a pop-up table with food and refreshments including “bat-wings” (chicken stretched to appear like bat wings), butterbeer beverages, and more themed food that was a hit with hungry festival-goers. Madame Cochis of the French Department gave a pre-battle Shakespearian reading before our Knights’ Duel performance by knights Samuel Goss and William the Thrilliam; and Kurt Gohde of the Arts Department was able to whittle spoons with an axe as an amazing demonstration of his sculpting skills. Student members of the Rambler hosted their own tables with activities such as tarot and palm readings, face painting, a photobooth, caricatures, and to top it all off our very own Pickle Priest.
