NEWPORT, KY (June 25, 2010) Want that sword from your favorite new video game?  How about a new Cosplay outfit?  Newport on the Levee’s newest retail venue, The Dragon’s Hoard, is the place to find it!  Located inside the Gallery Building just across from the AMC ticket booth, The Dragon’s Hoard is now open.  The Dragon’s Hoard sells costumes, jewelry, fantasy and renaissance items as well as unique home décor and hand-crafted goods from regional artisans, all in one eclectic shop, catering to those with a taste for re-enactments, fantasy literature, pirates and the out-of-the-ordinary.  
   “Newport on the Levee is a fantastic location as it sits between two large renaissance festivals (the Kentucky Highland Renaissance Festival and the Ohio Renaissance Festival). Many of the movies featured at the AMC Newport 20 Theatres are excellent tie-ins for us as well.  Add in a venue known for its entertainment, festivals and diverse cultural clientele, and it’s a dream match-up come true for us!” commented James Moore, managing partner of The Dragon’s Hoard.
   “This unique local operator had a successful store at Northgate Mall and we feel they will do very well at the Levee with our compatible demographic,” said P. Ellen Prows, General Manager of Newport on the Levee.
   Play dress up as a princess, find that special something for your home and castle, or feel what it's like to be a warrior king - there's something for everyone!  The Dragon’s Hoard is open Monday – Thursday from 10 a.m. – 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. – 10 p.m. and Sunday from 12 – 6 p.m.
