Came one, came all to the Newport Renaissance Faire, which returned for its fifth year Saturday, May 9 at the Newport Rodeo Grounds. From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., this year’s Ren Faire featured a mini jousting and skills-atarms tournament by Knightly Ventures, performances from regional entertainers and a variety of vendors, events and activities. The annual event drew hundreds, from as near as Newport to as far as Spokane.
