Fieger, of Reading; and Mason D. Byers, of Lancaster.Succulent fare included smoked turkey legs, fit for a king (and queen).A true Renaissance man is Dennis C. Greenaway, of Clinton County – known as Denys the Decadent in the Society for Creative Anachronism – who talks with students about the period ... and his skill with a crossbow.Appropriately dressed for dinner are Ryan O. Fowler, of Tunkhannock, and Stephanie C. Myers, of Catawissa.The managers of the Capitol Eatery transformed the dining hall for a Renaissance Feast from 4-6 p.m. Tuesday, with a themed menu, decorations, music and special visitors to meet and greet dinner guests as they entered the "Grand Hall." Dennis C. Greenaway, a medieval weapons specialist/educator, wore chain mail and brought a 20-pound metal helmet and two crossbows for "show and tell" with students. Patrons were urged to come in costume and to bring their appetite – the menu included smoked turkey legs and wings, braised beef short ribs, corn dogs, corn on the cob, zucchini boats, fried pickles and apple dumplings – with special permission to eat without silverware!
