The Renaissance clothing really plays into giving the live actors a personality and visitors a taste of the Middle Ages.
One woman took her love for renaissance clothing and turned it into a business of her own.
Her name is Jone Baker and she started with a sewing shop three years ago in Chippewa Falls and it soon evolved into a costume shop.
When she learned about an opportunity to be a part of the Renaissance fair, she jumped at it because it gives her a chance to make the type of clothing she is so fascinated with full time.
"It's theatrical. You can combine so many colors and fabrics. You have such a wide range of peasant clothing, regal clothing,” said Jone Baker.
This renaissance fair is the first permanent, commercial fair of its kind in the state. And it all started with a passion for history and a love for the middle ages.
"Well you see this chain veil I'm wearing? It took 125 hours to make and then when I was about three quarters of the way through, my wife came to me and said why don't you devote that much energy to something that would do some good,” said Shane McVey, Renaissance Fair president.
McVey says there are a wide range of things for people to try, such as a game of medieval cricket.
A ground breaking ceremony took place back in late October 2005 and construction has been on-going, with still some things yet to finish.
"Even next week the fair grounds are going to look a lot different that they do this week. And next year we just want to continue to grow and grow and make this one of the premiere fairs in the upper Midwest."
The fair hopes to generate three million dollars into the local economy.
