Does anyone go to the faire there?  I went once, it was pretty good.  I'm planning on going again if I can make time this year.

We have not been for several years - we were at the first one at this location a few years back.  We will be there this year - it is just down the lane from our humble abode.

We normally go to that one, but last year we were in Tennessee, and this year we're hoping to go to St. Louis.

We have the worst luck at this faire!  We can only go on Sunday, and just about every year, it is beautiful on Saturday but rains on Sunday.

It is a very small faire, so depending on how far you have to drive and what kind of faire you expect, you might want to take that into consideration.

Having said that, Steve and I adore whatever kind of faire, so we make the 2 hour trip with high hopes that THIS year, we won't get rained out.  We usually do but go anyway.

We reside not but 20 minutes away, so no excuse to not faire.  I believe it runs all three days, we most likely will go Sunday also.

We'll be at this one on Sunday or Monday. If you go on Saturday, say Hello to their Majesties, Queen Catherine and King Edward! I still can't believe I had to miss working this one, but my son is in the high school band, and graduation is a required performance. :(

Gauwyn of Bracknell

Will their Majesties not be there on Sunday or Monday?  We may be there Monday instead.  Out son has a tournament sporting event that weekend, and his play on Sunday depends on the outcome on Saturday.

Unfortunately, our royal court was only hired for Saturday. There is another group handling the "noble" duties the rest of the weekend, but I can't remember which group.
