Your guide to activities and fun things to do with your preschoolers, toddlers and kids in Kansas City, KS

If you haven't been out to the country's greatest Renaissance Festival, this is the week to do it.  Because it's the last week.  Better check it out as the festival gropes its way to a close.  This week features:

• Halloween Village, including free classes for kids on Columbus Day, including Costuming 101, Music 101 and Court 101.  Classes start every 45 minutes in the village from 10:30-1:30.
• Costume contest
• Three-legged race
• Sword war
• Faire Factor

Check it out, because it'll be a whole 12 months before you can see this kind of skin and tights and fairies again.
