Sixth-grader teachers Laurel O'Donaghue and Libby Harrington stand at the entry to Hamilton Castle, a dark and mysterious place in medieval times. The festival, held at the Hilton Northwood Elementary School, is in its fifth year and according to Harrington, "It grows and gets better every year." Students have a month to prepare for their roles and about a week is spent in creating the setting. Students take their roles seriously and are graded for their presentation.
