OPENING GATE AT ORF08, PART ONE -- 05:29 The Gate Show at Muskogee Castle (AKA the Oklahoma Renaissance Festival): King Henry arrives to find his sister, Queen Margaret of Scotland, quite upset with some of Henry's courtiers.

OPENING GATE AT ORF08, PART TWO -- 05:18 More of the Gate Show at Muskogee Castle (AKA the Oklahoma Renaissance Festival): trying to get back into King Henry's good graces, his courtiers introduce some of the musical acts scheduled to perform that day. This clip ends as the "Opening Cannon" is fired, signaling the start of another glorious day at faire.

OPENING GATE AT ORF08, PART THREE -- 03:09 Dancing at Muskogee Castle (AKA the Oklahoma Renaissance Festival): while the assembled musicians play a rousing tune, the villagers of Castleton enthusiactically kick up their heels at the start of a new faire day.
