Thank you for your encouragement. At this time I am thinking of some children's activities, color in your shield sort of stuff, and how to set up a "scriptorium" for the Renn Fairs. Most of the smaller ones are not period freaks so I can get away with burlap for book covers and crayons for the kids. If they allow that they should be OK with a reference sheet with web pages on it. I also want to get some examples of modern heraldry such as UPS to show that heraldry is alive and well in the 21st Century.

Ed,
Since your area was being settled by the Dutch at the tail end of the Renaissance, it would seem very appropriate for a Ren fair to display the arms of New Netherland.

Kids should love to see a beaver on a coat of arms (they're also on the arms of NYC and Albany), and the provincial arms would serve as a good jumping off point. "This is what the first settlers thought was typical of New York, beavers and seashells (wampum). What would you use to represent X today?"

That is a nice image. I was going to go with the history of NY's CoA including a trip to the Capital for the "porno" image of the not adopted seal of 1879 (?). The females objected to Lady Liberty or Justice (I forget which) being shown bare breasted. It was consigned to a back stairwell in Albany. You have to ask to see it, just like you need to ask to see the devil in the Capital.
