If you haven't made it down to Georgia's Ren Faire, ought to try to make
it this year. It's a nice site that is laid out very well... ;D

PARF is very expensive, but they often have special rates for different groups (like military, emergency services workers, etc.) that I will try to post over here as I find out when they will be.  I live in Pa and am a season pass holder, so I am there almost every weekend and may be able to help people from the board by picking up tickets at a cheaper rate for them as they are available.  Just let me know when you are looking to come.  It would also give me the opportunity to return some of the welcome I have been shown by others when visiting their home faires and meet new people from the boards in person.

I don't think we're going to make it down there this year, unfortunately. You'll have to take tons of pictures so we can attend vicariously. :)

Yes we read about that on their website and have made hotel reservations that are near to their
new site...I hope they have a great turn out this year to help support their new location!  :)

Anybody planning on attending the CRF this year? We're trying to get a much of the Fiat Lux present as we can on Halloween and plan on showing up around 10am. I'd love to meet up with some of the folks here!

I think the plan for my girlfriend and I so far is to come down there on Nov 14th. We're busy with one thing or another pretty much every weekend before that. :)

It would be great to meet up with the Fiat Lux group!
