Their site is not yet updated. Any good info on the Faire. Anyone know what Lord Letchers is all about?

Who all is going?

  We will be there, Saturday for sure. 

@Gauwyn of Bracknell-We saw you at the Iowa faire on Saturday...
  Hopefully we will see both you and Bother Gregory at Siouxland this weekend :).

  Weather report is good-rain tonight followed by a sunny, moderately warm (77) Saturday.  Perfect for the faire and the GAMES!

  Wonderful weekend everybody! Excellent crowds.
   Saturday was just gorgeous, we missed Sunday, since I had to get the rental car back.

We had a great time also, even though we were only there Saturday.  It was great to see friends from MNRF and Nebraska.  Rowan, did not see you, did we?  ::)

  We were at both Jousts (not in the stands) and generally stayed in the treed part of the grounds, unless David was talking with the Athletes.   
  We spent a little time with the Queen and court in the rest tent while she dispensed beads to the treasure hunters, and met a few new faces (to us).
     I don't remember seeing you either.  Might be one of those things where we were on opposite sides of the park all the time ^_^.  We showed up an hour after gate and left at 5pm for the drive back.

We were in the pub a bit getting our Dregs fix and walked the whole grounds a couple of times.  Almost went to the joust, but did not - not sure if I can do a joust if it is not sunny and hot  :D

There are advantages to A/C and nice bleachers for the joust, and foul weather is not an issue either.  Particularly since Sioux Falls has been  known for violent thunderstorms on certain years. 
   We were standing outside the pub tent while the Dregs were playing, but did not go in and sit down.  I don't think that we attended any shows at all except the Joust and the Games.
