Countdown to Sherwood Forest Faire 2012

[<Alex>]

  Sherewood's about 15 minutes down the road from us, and the storm hit between 5-6am. Lots of wind and rain, but no lightning.  I imagine many tree limbs fell, but not much else. It was done after a couple of hours and now it's just cloudy with a strong chance of rain.

Just to make sure everyone is getting their act together, I have to warn you that it's 16 days, 22 hours, 38 minutes and 30 seconds until the cannon fires to open Sherwood Forest Festival for its 3rd year!

Stupid question, what's the temp like usually opening weekend?  Just want to know which garb I need to pack and what I can leave home.  Of course I'll check the weather the day we leave, but can anyone give me rough Ideas?

It might be just me, but I remember it being pretty mild, there was a good breeze and the morning was kinda chilly for me, but not terribly chilly.

[Magpie Flynn]

Granted, things may change being Texas and all, but the week before looks to be lows in the 40s and highs in the 60s to low 70s. I would imagine opening to be thereabouts.

[Merlin the Elder]

I'm hoping that too, Magpie. I mentioned before that last year, it was hot (for me) opening day, but much breezier and cooler on Sunday.  Texas, like Arkansas, where I am, is prone to wide variations in short periods.

I know that one. TRF last year for closing weekend:

Fri: Beautiful with excellent temps and low winds.
Sat.: Near freezing rain and drizzle all day.
Sun: COLD with high winds to accentuate the chill.

Difficult to garb for all 3, lol. Our carriage is not that big.

No lightning? You were out like a light but there was plenty of crackings of light around that time.

I can't wait to get out there and throw our first renfair tent up! We should buy it first...

Heeheeheee... my husband is the same way: sleeping like a log when the big storms come. lol

They are letting clans in on weekends to set up camps as I understand. If anyone can get in to take a look at PR camp and let me know if there is damage to the stuff set up I would greatly appreciate it!

*might even be a shot of rum in it for you*

[KiltedPrivateer]

I thought I read it to be the week days leading up to opening weekend.  I've sent a message to Mike to clarify.  Haven't heard back yet.

I didn't have the email in front of me, I could be wrong on that. It's happened before

*Once, I thought I was out of rum but after a bit of scared tears I realized I was wrong*

[Magpie Flynn]

15 days!

[LadyJessica]

Does no one here use Rennie Math??  Ok let's see if I have this right...Today doesn't count because well it's today.  Saturday and Sunday don't count because we have too much to do and they just fly by anyway...oh and we're still in football season.  the Thursday before doesn't count because we'll be packing and getting every thing ready.  And Friday doesn't count, for thosse camping, because most everyone will be traveling to the campgrounds.  So that means we have...*mumbles...1,2,3, doesn't count...mumbles*

8 days!!

[Merlin the Elder]

OMG!!

Don't Panic
