A Renaissance Faire attempts to
recreate a 16th Century European Marketplace.
We have entertainment, games,
foods,
merchandise and a variety of arts and crafts.
We try to keep our crafts with the
“renaissance” theme. We are not
a flea market, street festival or outdoor mall.
Should your application be accepted
and you are contracted for the Faire, you would have to provide your own
exhibition structure and costume. Both
your structure (tent, cart, booth, etc) must fit with the Renaissance theme.
Your costume must also fit the theme.
Pre-approval will be available to the vendors at their request.
The decision as to who we can
approve to fill the limited amount of space will be based on the how your work
fits into the current
offerings at the Faire, and first
come first serve.
The Faire Management tries to assure our Vendors that when avoidable,
multiple venders will not sell similar or duplicate items.

Welcome to
The
Hamilton
Players
Renaissance Faire!
CODE OF
CONDUCT
SMILE Our main product is
entertainment; therefore, smile and you will produce smiles. The patron is
always treated as if they are correct.
RESPECT Be polite and
respectful of others. We find ourselves working very close with each other
creating the festival. It should go without saying, that a task is made easier
through cooperation and respect. Everyone should be treated, as we ourselves
would like to be treated. This community is our home; please show courtesy to
locals.
PROPERTY OF OTHERS
Do not touch, pickup, fold, spindle or mutilate things that are not your own.
Many of the props, costume items, and tools of our trade are not easy to come by
or inexpensive. Meddling with vendor stock and/or stealing will not be
tolerated. A person caught stealing will be prosecuted to the fullest extent
possible.
YOUR CHARACTER
During the faire day, remain in character. The fantasy is what it’s all about
folks! The fact that you can enter a gate and feel like you have been
transported back in time to a place, where none of your worries exists, it is
magical.
COMPLY WITH DRESS CODE
Our
costumes must give the people around us the feeling of stepping back in time. If
you have questions about what to wear as Renaissance fashion, or need assistance
obtaining the proper attire please call Denise Rose in our costume department
at:
(406)
381-6576

HARASSMENT
Potential
harassment, sexual or otherwise, will not be tolerated. In the state of
Montana
, any
behavior that makes one feel threatened or uncomfortable is harassment. If you
think you might be going too far, don't do it. Such behavior at this
faire will not be tolerated. Beside any possible legal action we might take,
harassment is most certainly your fastest ticket out of the faire. This applies
to everyone, patron and participant alike. If you feel harassed, go to someone
in management so we can take action.
Role-play VS. Acting
As a member of the cast of the HPRF, you are considered to be
an actor. Role-play is the acting out of one’s personal ambitions for the
character they are portraying and such behavior detracts from the task of
presenting a quality performance to our patrons. Acting is the use of your
character to further the show and lend to the pleasure of our audience. An actor
can laugh at his character’s flaws as others see them. Whereas someone, who is
role playing, views their character’s flaws as something that should be down
played and not impinge on their character’s dignity.
Drugs
and
ALCOHOL If
you have a prescription for medication, please take it as directed. Be sure to
notify our medical personal of any medical condition, such as diabetes, so they
can take it into account when dealing with you during any emergency.
If you have illegal possession of a controlled substance, we
will have no choice but to eject you and contact local law enforcement.
Alcohol possession and/or consumption in designated areas
only.
Alcohol
will not be sold or in any way provided to minors on the faire site. Anyone
involved in providing a minor with alcohol will be removed from the faire
grounds and may be prosecuted.
