So who is going this weekend to MDRF? It looks like they rescheduled and combined kids’ free admission weekend with senior citizen free admission on Labor Day. Weather so far looks very promising with only 30% chance of rain Sat/Sun and 40% on Monday. I’ll be in armor for sure on Saturday & maybe Sunday, Monday I could go armor light. – Never tried three days straight in armor.  ;)

We usually just go two days on the labor-day weekend. We haven't worked out the plans, but I'm guessing we'll do what we usually do, which is to go to faire on Sat/Sun and take monday off.

I'm definitely planning on Saturday (my mom is meeting us there). If the weather cooperates, I'd like to armor up on Saturday.

Ugh! The weather forecast is now calling for high 80’s with humidity bringing the heat index to the low 90’s. I guess it was too much to hope for that this week’s perfect weather would stay through the weekend!  :(
I am still armoring up even though I'll be thinking this all day Saturday!

If it weren't for the humidity, 90s would be bearable.  You'll still be ok though...just remember to hydrate...alternate your ales with waters, you know?

Originally they were calling for 89 and thunderstorms for Saturday, which looks like is pushing off to Sunday now. I hope the nicer weather drags out even further. Even if it's warm on Saturday, I'd still prefer the hot muggy day to be Sunday when I can wear something else. :)

Most likely I'll be going on sunday. Saturday is a wedding day, but I'm not sure if I'm going to it or not (it's my wife's friend and she's going, though).

It's a trap!  If you don't go with your wife, you'll need to keep the armour on once you get home! ;D

Well, I'm thinking I'll armor up tomorrow, and go in lighter garb Sunday.

http://weather.yahoo.com/united-states/maryland/crownsville-2387843/

Tomorrow it's mid-80's with a chance of thunderstorms. Sunday is upper 80's and still a chance of thunderstorms. So Sunday is probably the day I'll just wear my woodsman stuff or something.

Usually we just go the two days on Labor-Day weekend.

Anyone else looking to Sunday? Weather permitting, I might go.

Today is out for me, tomorrow is a possibility but depends on how things go today around the house/yard.

Sir Brian and I will be there tomorrow/Sunday. I'm not doing armor though. With the humidity, I kinda pushed it today and ended up paying for it a bit. I'm going super light tomorrow.
