The Sarasota Medieval Fair is an annual medieval-themed event started in 2005 in Sarasota, FL. In 2006, the fair's location changed to Hunsader's Farm in Bradenton, FL, but the name remained. The fair is held in November each year, with a different historical setting referred to as the "scenario."

Significance
REDdimension Wiki Circle members Kevin, Debbie, Sean and Erin McNulty have been members of the SMF since 2006. They dressed as pirates for the premiere of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest at their local theater, and there they encountered a group from the fair. They signed up for auditions and the rest is history.
2006
The first year the McNulty's participated in the SMF, the scenario was "The Battle of Lincoln" which occurred in 1141 when Stephen and Matilda wrestled for the throne of England. The McNulty's were cast as follows:
- Kevin - Sir Hugh Bigod, Earl of Norfolk and infamous side-switcher
- Debbie - Bernadette, the French baker with the best buns in the village
- Sean - John Piper, the wandering minstrel
- Erin -
This year, Kevin fought on the chessboard where he was soundly trounced in the first melee.
2007
The second year the McNulty's participated, the scenario was "The Battle of Stirling" which occurred in 1297 when King Edward I attempted to put down the Scottish rebellion lead by William Wallace (a battle somewhat inaccurately memorialized in the film Braveheart). The McNulty's were cast as follows:
- Kevin - Robert du Brus VI, Earl of Annondale and father of the famous "Robert the Brus"
- Debbie - Catie Colville, the town weaver
- Sean -
- Erin -
