The Lewis County Ren Faire drew about 1,500 visitors on its first day this year, exceeding the approximately 1,300 people who attended across both days of last year's event, the provided report said. Attendance also increased on the second day this year.
The event expanded across the fairgrounds with additional vendors and performers. Admission proceeds go to Youth of Lewis County, a nonprofit that provides support, arts, education and recreation services for young people in the county.
The faire is expected to return next year under a possible new name, the North Country Renaissance Faire, as organizers consider expanding its regional identity.
