Fall is my wife's favorite time of year. Cooler weather, Halloween, Thanksgiving, leading right into Christmas.

Interesting take. I've personally never experienced the issues he raises, but I'm certainly not going to say he's wrong. We stopped attending because the campgrounds became a frat boy drug-fest, and the faire proper was over charging for food and drink to the levels of Disney.

We attended closing Saturday last year and didn't come away with an improved experience. Now there is even less green space, prices are still high, pay-to-use lockers (good|bad? Not sure). We didn't experience any good entertainment. The biggest shocker, we didn't see anyone we knew. Although, I think that there was another event that weekend that drew a bunch of Ren folk. So that probably contributed.

All that said, I'm curious about what the new owners will do with the faire. I hope that they have grand plans for enhancements and lower prices.

Summer energizes some, but as for me, I'll look forward to fall.
