Welcome, Clan M'Crack, to Avaloch!

I'll get lodging/dining/Friday night gathering info up soon.

This is the first M'Crack family gathering @ GLMF, and EVERYONE is welcome to join in on the fun! Come on over, invite your friends, their friends, any pets (the furry kind, but M'Crack pets are welcome too), etc. Let's make it a closing weekend to remember!

Just a "Heads Up' to newcomers that the Faire at GLMF is "dry" and while it appears that management will turn a blind eye to a tasty beverage or two being brought in discreetly, rolling a barrel through the Gates probably won't work! LOL!

My reservations are made and I am so looking forward to this trip..........I was wondering if I needed to bring an extra banner for that group to the northwest that wants their own chapter.....I wonder if they will be at GLMF?  Inquireing minds want to know.

Although not a M'Crack....I met many of you at Rendezvous 2009 in Maryland last year.  I will be in attendance on Closing Weekend as well and staying at Motel 6.....looking forward to it!

Has anything been decided for Saturday night?

Hail and Well Meet, M'Cracks!  Allow me to elaborate on the issue of beverage availability at GLMF...

Thanks to the greed of a few mean-spirited individuals who preside o'er the township of Trumbull, our pubs are indeed closed this season.  That said, however, let it be known that although the pubs are dry, the faire is not ;)  As always, you may go to your carriage at any time throughout the day, and a "don't ask, don't tell" policy is in effect regarding beverages being carried in.  I feel quite safe in letting you know that if you stop to visit us at Maximum Glitter, we can make your mug happy. 

I look forward to meeting all of you next weekend.

Safe journey!
