My wife, Judy, has the home crafts demonstration area called No Idle Hands.  They do spinning, knitting, sewing, etc.  If you're there, stop by to say hi.  (I'm generally only there during set up and tear down although if you see an old guy with a beard dressed in a jump suit on a mobility scooter cruising around, that might be me.  I sometimes shop there.)

Pickwicks Pub Night on Friday and Fezziwigs Ball Saturday evening are major events.  If you have a Victorian ball gown, Fezziwigs is the place to show it off.

Thanks.  Lightning Scooter-Horse has his own gate pass.  :)

If anyone has friends or are themselves mobility challenged, give me a holler using the email icon.  If you're at RPFS, ask for one of my cards that has the information.

The horse head can be found at www.animalhead.com .  She also made the rear end.  My wife did the barding but has sworn to never do something like that again.

I've been looking for a sturdy peasant lad to follow behind with a pooper scooper.
