6/19/14 - Summer may be set to officially begin Saturday, but an event tomorrow night at the Pinckney Community Public Library will remind the community that winter is coming. A Game of Thrones Mini Renaissance Fair will take place at the library Friday from 6:15 to 9pm. After the libraryâs successful event based around the PBS series Downton Abbey, organizers decided to host an even larger event based on the fantasy novel series by George R. R. Martin and the corresponding HBO television series. The event will be divided into two sections, with the first part open to all ages. It will include demonstrations and discussions of medieval combat by an action theatre and stunt troupe, performances of madrigal music, discussions and games by local roleplaying and card game groups, and official Game of Thrones board games. The second part of the evening, beginning at 8pm, will be dedicated to a discussion about the books and games, including mature content and spoilers for both the books and the television series.
