Well MDRF is my home faire but I will only be able to make it on Sundays except of course for Labor Day Weekend. I will most likely make one of the first 3 Sundays of PARF. NYRF is not a big favorite of my wife’s so we only make that one every couple years.  :)

PARF is in MD?  How odd.

MDRF will likely be the only one for me due to Days of Knights and the plethora of projects, but I'm hoping to make 4-6 sundays at MDRF.

Cool; how far is Manheim from Philly?  Been trying to get my sister to check it out for the past few years now.

I plan on at least 3 weekends at MDRF; might even try for the opening day since I've never been to that.

PARF is about 90 minutes from Philly off I-76 West.  ;)

Hm.  7 hour round trip at least...need to be an overnighter then.  Have we had any word about Sir John's knighting ceremony?

It used to take us maybe 2.5 hours to get to PARF from Sterling. It's actually almost a straight shot up 83 from Baltimore (almost, since you still have to cut over eastward on 76).

Google actually says it's only 2:09 from my new place in Leesburg, taking a different route (up 15 and over 76). Huh.

PARF's address:

2775 Lebanon Road
Manheim, PA 17545

7 hours from your area? From my house it is just under 2 hours so it shouldn't be much longer from your house Sir William. PARF is actually a faster drive for me than going to VARF because it is less traffic and the interstate exits less than a 1/4 mile from it. ;)

If you guys want to meet up at PARF, my wife & I want to go there as we have not seen it yet. It looks fantastic (and they allow weapons). :) If we can arrange a weekend that works for all, they give group discounts on tickets. I say armor up!! :) :) I'll come for the whole weekend. I'm planning for Aug 3, 4 or Aug 10, 11 weekend.

Alas if/when we go it would have to be a Sunday only as I have to work on Saturdays but as you implied, it is definitely worth going for a weekend and there is a decent hotel (Hampton Inn) just across the highway (Lebanon Road) from the faire although it tends to fill up quickly.  ;)

Anyone interested in either weekend?? Opening day at any big faire is always a good time & turn out. :) PARF anyone?? If so, PM me and we'll make plans.
