Ren Faire Dates - 2008
Sword Chick:
Is it too early to start planning to go? VAF is usually closed Memorial Day weekend (which means I won't have to work) so I'm considering the VARF that weekend. The Gloucester one is reasonably close to our NNK cottage. ;)
Sir Edward:
It sounds like a good weekend to me! I never can be 100% sure a long way in advance due to my pager duty and who I can trade off with. But usually I can work things out. :)
Sir Brian:
Well the missus and I are definately going to opening weekend of the GARF! Woohoo!
We went last year and had a great weekend! It's a bit of a drive but we manage to get
there in just under ten hours. Anyone else planning on going to opening weekend?
Sir Edward:
I don't know if we'll make it to GARF, though it would be nice since I've never been to that one. How was it, compared to MD?
We're toying with the idea of going to NCRF since we haven't been in many years. It's much smaller, but it's also a lot closer. :) It's about 4.5 hours for us, I think.
We're also toying with the idea of maybe visiting Tux this year (we've never been), and perhaps Pittsburgh now that they've reopened under new ownership (the folks who own the Colorado faire, which was also pretty nice).
Sir Brian:
The GARF is on par with the CRF in size and I believe the same ownership since. They
definately had the same jousting troop as the CRF. The pirate auctions are fantastic, that's
were I got my really great rapier for $40.00! ;D
Tux was a good size fair, just a little bit smaller I think than CRF and GARF...But there was
something a little "off" about the whole place. We never could pin it down precisely what it
was but the fair atmosphere wasn't quite as cordial as the GARF...Still a fun fair but not in our
top three. {Those being MDRF, CRF and GARF}. ;)
Yes NCRF is a bit on the small side, but a nice fair to start the season off after a long winter
of FWS {Fair Withdrawl Syndrome!} ;)
