BEST WESTERN SHELBYVILLE LODGE Driving Directions
DIRECTION TO THE PROPERTY FROM ALL DIRECTIONS. THE BEST WESTERN SHELBYVILLE LODGE IS LOCATED AT INTERSTATE 64 AND HIGHWAY 55 AT EXIT 32B.


Lairde Hamish has also invited the M'Cracks to stay onsite at the campground.  So for any of you who wish to "tent it" there will be space available.   It is primitive camping only however there will be a couple of port-o-pots for us and the showers will be available.   ALL PEOPLE WISHING TO CAMP MUST BE REGISTERED!  So please let me know if you would like to and I will make sure you get the proper form to fill out.  (This campground is only used by cast, vendors and staff of the faire so he will need to be able to let security know who will be coming and going)


FAIRE INFO
Web site:  http://www.kyrenfaire.com

Hours are: 10am – 7pm
Located @ 955 Elm St. Eminence KY, 40019

Driving Directions to KYHRF:
From Lexington or Louisville: I-64 to Exit 35 (Shelbyville Exit). Turn north towards Shelbyville. (You'll pass a Cracker Barrel on the right) Travel north on Hwy 55 for 12 miles or so when you will reach Eminence. In Eminence turn right onto HWY 22 (Look for the Dairy Queen and turn Right onto 22). Drive half a mile. Venue is on the right across from Southern States. The drive for the venue is gravel and surrounded by fence.

From North: Take I-71S to Hwy 421E (Exit 34) to Hwy 55S through New Castle then Left onto Hwy 22 in Eminence.

I also would like to remind everyone coming that cash is not accepted by the food/drink vendors.  You MUST buy "coins of the realm" in order to purchase food and drink.  There are TWO locations available:

1. Right outside the front gate where we will assemble for the "Pilgrimage to the Pub"
2. Right next to the pub

I would suggest getting them BEFORE you go in for the simple fact that if you don't, you will have to stand in a line of other M'Cracks to get them THEN get your Guinness ;)


FRIDAY MEET N GREET
From 6pm on, we have the patio area and I made sure to let them know we drink LOTS of Guinness, lol.
O'Shea's Irish Pub

Louisville, KY 40204

It is right across the street from last year's meet n greet. (for those of you who attended)  If anyone needs additional directions please let me know.


Saturday night July 3rd after gates close, Lairde Hamish has invited all of the M'Cracks to gather at Hoodoo's Pub again!  It will be a great time with great people!  

(I will keep this info updated as best I can, if you have anything to add please let me know!)

Excellent job, no one will ever realize you're a new cruise director!

We'll be coming in too late on Friday evening to make the meet-n-greet but look forward to seeing everyone at the hotel and the faire.

Also, you may add Rook'n M'Crack (the tallest Leapus) to the list of attendees.

Huzzah!

Okies, I NEED to know who is interested in camping ASAP.  Hamish needs a head count.  You cannot camp without being registered first.  If I get no response, I will assume there is no interest.  Thanks!

Can you turn them back in if you don't use them all and get your money back?  This will make a big difference on how many people will get at a time.
Why can't reality be more like faire?

If you can't exchange them for cash at the end of the weekend just stop by my booth before you leave and I'll do it for you. We have to eat and drink to. Plus I except the coins for merchandise anyway. I can cash them in on Sundays after the faire closes. Just incase the answer is no.
