Renaissance Fun at the
Four Winds Ren-dependence Joust Tournament & Festival!

Tyler, TX (May, 2007) - The Old World combines with the New World, Renaissance-style, to create a new Texas Tradition with an All-American Celebration! In celebration of Independence Day, join the fun at the REN-DEPENDENCE FESTIVAL & JOUST TOURNAMENT, Saturday and Sunday, June 30 & July 1 at the Four Winds Faire site, located just 11 miles south of Tyler, Texas.
This special event includes admission to the exciting full-contact Joust Tournament with armored knights on horseback, musical entertainment, beautiful belly dancers, a variety of artists and vendors, archery and games, fire dancers, and a fireworks display. The Joust Tournament is open to experienced Knights from all over the country, who will compete in games of skill and in a full-contact joust for awards and prizes. The beautiful belly dancers from Tyler's own "Dream Harem" and "Inspyre Fire," the amazing fire dancers, will be there to delight and entertain as well. Food and drink concessions are available with turkey legs, steak-on-a-stake, Italian ice, and other delicious Renaissance treats.
"Four Winds events offer a unique opportunity for families to have an educational and fun experience and step back in time for a day. We have recaptured the essence of entertainment in the Renaissance era that will spark imaginations of the young and not-so-young alike," says Dustin Stephens, Owner of Four Winds Faire and Captain of the Knights of the Four Winds Joust team.
