I'm looking at the possibly going closing weekend, June 4-5. Midsummer Ren Faire is not happening this year due to changes in the production company responsible for promoting and staging that Faire. This opens up that weekend for a possible VaRF trip as there will not be rehearsal for me at PaRF as well. Anyone else thinking of closing out VaRF this year? Also, any of you from down that way know of any cheap places to stay? The wife doesn't care for camping, she's not as CPH as I am, so a hotel/motel would be more what I am looking for. The closer to VaRF the better, too.

I'd be in for it...June 4-5 is open for me; I go to Cali the following week. 

Sir Edward can probably point you to a few hotels/motels that're easy on the pockets and not too far from Lake Anna.

You know, I haven't looked at the accommodations in the area. I'd be just using google to point you to something. :)

Gents your best bet would to inquire with hotels in Fredericksburg as that is the largest town nearest to the faire with the largest selection.

I've stayed at the Fairfield Inn several times and it is very nice. :)

Sir Brian...great picture my friend....I do not recall that helm...a new acquisition?

Fredericksburg is a really nice town...w/friendly people.  I broke down once and ended up pulling off that exit...they were quite helpful, the shop and the rental place.  During Thanksgiving weekend no less.

I think we'll stay at the Quality Inn Thornburg. We stayed there a few years ago when we went and the rates online seem pretty cheap. It's not the most fashionable place, but that doesn't much matter to me. We're still trying to crunch numbers to make sure we can afford the trip, gas and all is putting a real crunch on the budget of late plus completing my kit for PaRF is making things tight. Upside is the breast and back are almost paid, then I just need to save up for the buff coat so I'm cautiously optimistic we can swing this too. It'd be cool if Sir Brian could make it so I could get a close look at his new overhauled kit before PaRF.

I could probably make it down on closing day... I have to work almost every Saturday now.  :(

June 5 might serve us well as a Knighting Day as we are discussing in the other thread.  Also, I was thinking- who is to knight the Knight Commander?  Maybe we could make it so that Sir Edward gets knighted by the King of the Realm and he in turn could knight those of us who are adjudged worthy of the title.

What say you, Knights, Squires et al?
