Visit the Lakewood Renaissance Faire
Summer is coming to an end and school has started back up for the kids, but that doesn’t mean the fun has to end. Weekends are a perfect chance to get away and make more great memories with your family. Rent a van from Value Van & Car Rental, and enter a magical world where knights, dragons, pirates, and fairies come out to play. Coming up on September 15th and 16th is a wonderfully unique opportunity to go back in time with your family to when romance and chivalry abound at the Lakewood Renaissance Faire!
