*giggle* The Hookah bar is still operational as of Castleteer weekend... I'm heading up to Louisville this weekend (Saturday) so I'll make sure to check on it for you. ;)

I guess I need to get my season pass ordered.... Been slacking on that (can't help it, TNRF is coming up all too soon, too!)

now ren daught, CapnFaye, thy homeland may be Tenn. but your first and ren home is KYHRF. but we also understand that TNRF is right around the corner, but just down the hall is KYHRF, so yes me Lady, get that season pass (Belle did me's order ours yet ?  :o  ).
Blue, KYHRF will not be the same without a visit from thee  ::), but we shall survive. be well down there in longhorn country.
dearest Windchime,  hope thy back feels better. thee should relieve thyself of some of those chimes, when you add them up, me's is sure there is some weight there that burdens thy back.
soon me Belle and me will post a list'n of whoms come'n to KYHRF and what weekends. so even if it is not the opening weekend, please post so that we can add thee to the list'ns. now there is a topic on the M'Crack Invasion July 4th & 5th already start'd by Lairde Gaurd'n M'Crack. but that also me's will put on our list'ns.
take care all,
Old Tinker and his Belle...

I have every intention to be present opening weekend (even if I have to drill my own hole and make my own gasoline), and at -least- one other, though it'll be on a random and surprise basis if I don't find a job with the quickness.  =D

Lady E's work schedule is changing up, but we're doing what we can to make sure she gets there...hopefully at least Sunday of opening weekend.
Title: Re: Countdown to Open'n of Gates !!!
Post by: Maeve McMayhem on April 21, 2009, 08:25:26 AM
As previously stated on KHRF boards (and yes - I feel the need to repeat myself).. Me and mine will be there opening weekend! And hopefully many of the weekends this season..which reminds me, thank you papa, that I need to get our season passes!  ;D


We're hoping to get Sir Mard down to visit a few times from St Louis; he always tries to make at least -one- weekend at KY though I am hoping we can convince him to visit a few more times than just his regular once.  My wench will also be about, when she can manage for work to let her off. To my knowledge, she's got the clear intentions of being there opening weekend. (yes, I threatened her with bodily harm..though no real threat was needed).


Can't wait to see all of you!

I won't be getting a season pass...  just in case my prego-ness gets the best of me.  I'll likely be there for the invasion weekends and stuff but we'll see about the other weekends.

I'll be there at least once this season, and hopefully a couple of more times! I'm not sure which weekends yet, though. since I live in e-town it's not exactly a long drive up to eminence, so it's usually a spur of the moment decision. xD
Title: Re: Countdown to Open'n of Gates !!!

Title: Re: Countdown to Open'n of Gates !!!
Post by: jinx on May 09, 2009, 12:48:08 AM
I'm going to have to change myself to a maybe for Opening Weekend, due to the possibility of employment.  I have an interview at King's Island next week (to get me through 'til I actually find a -good- job), and if they hire me, I don't think I'll be able to get time off that early.  So, definitely sometime in June, -maybe- opening weekend.

((Especially considering I also have an interview for a company in Louisville next week...and it's a M-F type job!))

I've been going to TNRF almost half my life. I'm hoping I can still get up there when I go to college in SC this fall. hurm. but I don't want to think about that right now!

Haha there's really nothing special about my name. my real name's chelsy, but someone started calling me chela a few years ago and it just stuck.

and you never know, I might be there on... sunday of opening weekend. a graduation present to myself, perchance.

Title: Re: Countdown to Open'n of Gates !!!
Post by: WindChime on May 17, 2009, 02:33:06 AM
I'll usally be at the faire site some time on Fridays. It just depends on what time I get off from Wal-mart and can get down there since it's about a 2 hour drive. Just a reminder I'll have the book in the booth for you guys to sign in along with the reminder banner for the R/Fers. I still have so much left to do. My body needs to start working with me so I can get every thing situated.

That made me smile super-big.  <3

The final say: I won't be there for the Opening of Gates, sadly.  (Because I am now happily employed at King's Island...okay, happy is relative...but at least it pays until I find something better.)  I will, however, be begging, borrowing, and stealing (and calling off work if necessary) in order to be there June 20th, even if I don't make it any other time.  So, yay!

If anyone's making a trip to KI this summer, stop by Emporium.  It's the big store on the left side of the fountains as you come into the park (according to the map, at any rate).  That's where I'll be working, so look for me!

Not far from the Twisted Thistle and right across from the new wedding chaple. I'm so happy.  (Doing what little of a happy dance I can without hurting myself) I'll post pictures as soon as I can.

Huzzah! Huzzah! It is a miracle! I managed to get the weekend off!

I vowed to myself that I would not miss KHRF this year, as I did last year. And even though this is last minute, and I may be eating out of the trash cans and sleeping in my car (haha, kidding) this may be the only chance I get to go . . . .

It's sad that jinx may not be able to accompany me, but I am excited to go and see everyone! And meet some new faces! So far the plan is to leave early Saturday morning (to avoid losing sleep since I won't get off work until late the night before) and possibly attend part of the day. But I for sure will be there all day Sunday.

I will be there, working for White Pavilion Clothiers near the gate!
Stop by and say Hello when you get a chance!  I'll be there tomorrow and Friday to help set up and then work the weekend, and next weekend, as well.
IF anyone else needs help at the faire, I will be available the 3rd and 4th weekend, and I wouldn't mind the work!  Just email me and tell me where to find you!
If anyone's looking for a breaker let me know that, too.

I'm going to Disney with my family the weekend of the 28th and will be gone until after the 4th of July, but I'd like to get in some work before I have to go....I have to eat and was thinkin' to buy Mouse Ears while I'm there!  *LOL*
Talk to you all soon!  Can't wait!!!!!  I'm psyched!  I haven't worked since October!  Talk about withdrawls!

Just a reminder, we will have the R/F sign in book in our new booth near the front gate behind the White Pavilion Clothiers.  We still have the R/F banner from last year so it will be on the front wall to remind R/Fers to stop in and sign the book each weekend.  Lady Helen, Windchime and I are looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend and every weekend.

I truly enjoyed meeting you, and it's good that we are actually neighbors!  :)  You have a lovely booth and your work is beautiful.  I'm sorry you're having to deal with pain and a bit of disability, as am I.  I saw my doctor on Thursday and was put on even more meds.  *sigh*  But, it matters not, I'm pushing forward and smiling through the pain because I'm at Faire!  :)  As I told Chris, my worst day at faire beats my best day in an office job any day, so, as long as I'm at faire, it's a good day!

It was very nice meeting you! 
First day was quite busy for me, with decent sales, family coming in to visit, trying to lock down a job for the rest of the faire, since Chris won't need my help after the second weekend.
Yesterday was much MUCH quieter, so I spent much of my time sitting quietly in the corner stitching together leather pouches.  So, this weekend coming, should you happen by and see an empty wooden chair sitting out on the side deck, and the shop appears empty, just slip back to that corner and have a seat.  I'll, no doubt, be sitting behind the desk working on pouches.  :)

Well, you're welcome to come hold down the deck of the White Pavilion with me for a bit, Love.   ;)  Also, I may be working Security for the faire after this coming weekend, depends on if I'm needed at the leather mask booth or not.  So, I might be seein' ya here and there.

QuoteJezzy MacPeaks  I truly enjoyed meeting you, and it's good that we are actually neighbors!    You have a lovely booth and your work is beautiful.  I'm sorry you're having to deal with pain and a bit of disability, as am I.  I saw my doctor on Thursday and was put on even more meds.  *sigh*  But, it matters not, I'm pushing forward and smiling through the pain because I'm at Faire!    As I told Chris, my worst day at faire beats my best day in an office job any day, so, as long as I'm at faire, it's a good day!
Quote
  I was wonderful to meet you as well.  It was nice to put actual faces with the names on the fourm. We had about 30 people sign in this weekend, that was even more then invasion weekend last year. I agree with Jezzy any day at faire is 100% better then the mundane job.

Unfortunately, we are not completely certain yet. I was actually wanting to catch Albannach before they are done and I know that the final weekend for them falls on Fathers day weekend.  Not sure what the family has planned for this crusader yet (guess I better get on it)

Then again,  I'm almost afraid to say when we will be there for sure because every time I do we get jinxed with some BS and can't make it.  ;) :-\

I might've seen a couple, but I wasn't certain and didn't want to go up to some random person and just start talking. Haha. But I'll be there with a pirate lass this weekend.

Well it's not me, it's my ride, Faye! haha. But I'll be there on Saturday. I'll be in my normal garb, with a girl dressed as a pirate. And we'll be by the RF.com sign-in place and one point during the day. Haha.

Also, to make this not quite so about me, anyone have any ideas on how to attach a feather (rather, a group of feathers) to a straw hat with a flexible brim? The feathers are on a piece of wire about six inches long. I had to get a new feather cluster thing after my last one got soaked at TNRF, and I'm looking for a new way to attach it before Saturday.

Hmm... normally when I can't make a cluster fancy and attach them to a pin, I usually trim the wire with wire cutters, wrap it in floral tape, then sew it into the hat. A straw hat would be really easy to sew them into.

Oh yeah and normally I can be found in the pub. Can't miss it (you'll see - it's huge hehe) - although when Albannach starts playing I'll be running down the hill.


ALBANNACH THIS WEEKEND! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

We'll be there sat. We're trying to make the first Albannach show. Which means leaving real early in the Am.  Which sucks cause I'm working late tonight. So it's pack now so we can sleep a few more minutes.

There's an RF sign in place?
Title: Re: Countdown to Open'n of Gates !!!
Post by: Old Tinker on June 12, 2009, 12:47:07 PM
that would be correct RFP,(if thee means where the R/F sign-in log) it is located in Windchimes booth. not sure what it is call'd. it is just down from the Twisted Thistle (PUB that is hidden  ;) ). but have no fears, we are sure to see thee, and we will direct thee in that direction.

I hope I can find some wirecutters before I head out of the house this morning... hurm. But yes.

My daughter and I visited this lovely faire for the first time yesterday (Father's Day).  What a lovely site for a growing faire....they are doing SO many things RIGHT!  Even the entrance was delightful!

David Ross was a wonderful introduction for Albannach, who were superb!  The atmosphere was so cozy and familiar that I felt perfectly comfortable approaching them for a quick conversation following their performance.  My daughter loved Doktor Kaboom as did I.  It was nice to see another side of Chunky  ;D

I loved how the vendors were scattered throughout the woods....it was a much larger area than I imagined!

Also, I have no idea who this cast member was, but she was continually polite and quietly inviting througout our visit...thank you for making us feel comfortable....it was our first faire other than ORF and was a lovely experience   :)

What a lot of fun your twin brother and his fiery lady are, Tink!  ;D  I hope to see them again soon.

I had a BLAST this weekend, everyone.  And I'm in hopes that it won't be my last.  I'm job-searching again (in Louisville this time, as I now -have- to move), so I can only hope my next new job will accommodate at least a little time off for Faire!

Thank you for your kind words Tinker!  I was also sorry to miss you and Belle, knowing you are there often.  I had been hoping to attend, and things fell into place at the last minute.  Not one to miss such an opportunity, I grabbed the young un and got to faire ASAP (which would be 2 hours) :o 

I look forward to seeing both of you at ORF this year and certainly plan to visit at some point during the invasion.  The price of a season pass has gone up considerably, but don't think that will stop me! ;D

Your faire is wonderful!
