I would like to thank everyone at the tailgate for welcoming my husband and me with open arms. It was a great time had by all! Now I just need to get over my Monday after closing blues...

It was most wonderful to see everyone this past weekend! We so enjoyed the company of all our fine friends! And we are really glad all the visiting shirefolk from the northerly shires could join us for our closing festivities! It is always such a pleasure to see you all!

A hearty thanks to Lady Guinness and Scotsman for hosting a most memorable tailgate! As usual the food was remarkable, the drink was flowing and the company was splendid!  :)

I'm so sorry we missed the tailgate.  My husband and I arranged to the kids to spend the night and the grandparents the night before just so we could get up early and head out - only the alarm clock failed to go off at 7, and instead we woke up at 9.  Bummer. :(

Next year we'll be there for sure!

Thank you all for a wonderful tailgate party!  It was great to meet many of you, we hope to meet more of you at other events.  It was also great to see several of you as we wandered the faire.  The experience gets richer the more familiar it becomes!  Thanks to Scotsman and Lady Guinness for the kind host(ess)ing, hope to keep in touch with some of you during the bleak midwinter until VARF.  Three stand-out notes:  Is not Hilby the coolest thing in the world? Was not the last joust astonishing?  2 knights knocked off their horses and one dragged by his stirrup the length of the field!  Last, was anyone present at the Wolgemut performances where some punk local walked by heckling and boo-ing?  I wondered if it would be appropriate behavior to go and break a head or if that would be frowned upon...  For what it's worth if any of the performers from Wolgemut stumble upon this, we saw two of your performances on Sunday and thought they were wonderful.  Please come back next year!

Regards to you all and keep in touch!

Born too late.  But not too late for faires.

Thank you all for the kind words. It is hard to believe that faire has come and gone. So much has transpired throughout this faire season. Some very happy memories and some very sad ones as well. With each I will hold all my faire friends/family close to my heart. There is truly no one like a faire person...we are a special group of people.

Thank you everyone for sharing tailgate with us. The food/beverages that everyone brought was just awesome.
Dallan thanks for sharing the "recipe"  ::) it was warming for such a chilly morning.
Annalise and everyone who brought such yummy  desserts thank you (boy I really need to expand my gym time)
Thank you all for the pleasure of your company....I cannot wait till next time... ;D

It was great getting to meet everyone!  I miss you all already.  :'(  It was such a warm welcome that I felt like I was greeting old friends instead of new ones! 
You're right, Lady Guinness, there is no one quite like ren folk...  I hope to see you all soon.
God bless ye all!  Can anyone tell me why the Drambuie is gone again?

We caught their two earlier shows and didn't notice a heckler....was it a later show?  Bashing booers...could be a fun sport.  We love Wolgemut too and can't wait to see them again next year.
