How many years have you been going to MNRF?

[renren]

Been going since 99, missed a few years when my girls were really little.

[Nikita]

this will be our 12th year going, and our first not working in five.

[Lady Rae]

I believe this is my 4th year at MNRF

[Oldarcher]

2007 was the first time since 1977 or 78 if I remember right, just couldnt get the wife interested.............!
Went opening Sunday 2008 and will go at least two more times this year.

Let's see....I went closing weekend in 2002 as a playtron and then 2004 and 2005 as a playtron again. I've been working out there now since 2006. Of course, that's only counting how long I've gone to *this* faire. I'm currently refusing to think about how long I've been going to faire. Feeling "old" today.

I know that my wife and I went in '81, because two weeks after we went, she found out she was pregnant and was soooo scared because she found out that she liked wine way too much at the Faire.....Went every year after that until I lost her to cancer. Now my daughter(and her husband!) join me for at least one weekend every year, although I try to come out 3-4 times each year and photograph. I was out for opening day, and to pay respects to Snot. I don't brag too often, but I got some outstand images from that performance. I only wish I had a site to post them on to share. Somehow I'll get it done so all can enjoy! I hope to be out this weekend!

This was my 15th year.

[Naween]

It's my second year! Loved it the first, and loved it again this year!

(Two best moments this year:
1) Having two little girls latch themselves onto me for hugs and want to talk to me. There parents had a camera but there batteries were dead, so I lent them mine so that they could get the shot. The girls were sooo happy! (now I know how the cast must feel)
2) Dancing with the queen. I'm constantly amazed by how friendly everyone at fest is, and how committed they are to ensuring everyone has FUN! (Case in point...were out at the hobbit hole and a lady is taking pics of peeps sitting on the rocks on the water, holding up the line. A nun comes up to her yelling "My child! My child!". We all think she is gonna get in Sh*!, but the nun yells something along the lines of, "That's not right! Make sure you're in the picture!).

I LOVE THIS FAIRE!

Spoke too soon about NOT working!

I only wish I had a site to post them on to share. Somehow I'll get it done so all can enjoy! I hope to be out this weekend! 

And easy site to look into is photobucket.com.

Been going to faire since 2000 and I have missed a few years in between.

[Lady Figaro]

Growing up in the Chaska/Chanhassen area, I've gone to fest at least once a year since I was about 10.  Once John and I have got married, we go almost every weekend.

[Lord Figaro]

See I told you, it was all her fault. Now there's proof. You read it here.

[TheFerret]

Spoke too soon about NOT working!

Yay! You two impressed Missy out there last weekend.

Ok I am a newbie to the R/F (thanks Rage) but I have been going for 14 years this time... since I moved back to MN that is... I have to say the years before I moved away are pretty fuzzy, too tough to count, so they must have been really fun too
