Much discussion has been made on which weekends people want to visit, etc. etc. so I thought I'd put this up. (sticky this please!)
Please specify which weekend you'll be attending, whether or not it's both days or just Sat. or Sun.
If you're working faire, please let us know which booth you'll be working at! Also, please let us know if you're on cast
If we have a large group of forum members that show up on a single weekend, we'll plan for a group meet up!

Actually, only you'll be there Opening Weekend, goofball. I talked to ya wife! :P
Maybe she will be there opening weekend only :P
I'll be there both days for the first five weekends.
I am there everyday of every weekend!!! YAY!
I shall be in attendance opening weekend representing the Kingdom of Onondaga, and perhaps, with a little persuation with spirits, more of the kingdom will show.
We'll be there every weekend! Can't wait to see everyone again.

Hopefully we can convince them!
It's a secret. I can't tell.
;)
Cowgrrl & I will most likely bring the kids on March 14. Hope to meet up with everyone.
This is such a lovely faire blessed with a gracious queen and wonderful talent and craftpeople and not the least, the best jousting ANYWHERE! I hope our health will allow us to spend time there. We so enjoyed the faire last year, dispite of the fearful rainstorm that blew in and threatened the Masque Ball, the weather cleared and a most magical time happened for all of us revelers who waited out the wind and rain. This year, so I hear, there should be a HUGE castle to protect us from storms during the Masque Ball.
God Bless Queen Ann and her Gallant Green Knight!
I'll be there opening weekend with at least two other people, still trying to convince more to go!
His Excellency brought home his planner! :) :)
We will be there opening weekend Feb. 28.
Sat and possibly part of Sunday.
Woo Hoo!
i think me and some of the fam will be there st. patrick's day weekend
I'll be there vending, every weekend.
Look forward to meetin' ya, MacLaren, now that you're one of us, Wuahhaha. See ya at the faire!
Hmm, were you at TRF across from the mint? I was around the corner working for Excalibur Leather all season, and stopped thru a few times.
We sure were, did we actually meet because now I feel bad. Well, here's to the season ahead and hopefully lots of fun times!
I hope to meet you MacLaren and spend more time with you Knarlyknot...
You too, Drac! See ya next month.
Let not your heart be troubled Knarly. We'll be properly introduced soon!
I'll be looking for ya Drac!
So little time! Back to work on the goodies!
The good Lady Stalkwell and I will be there for opening and closing weekend. We expect to be there at least 2 or 3 other weekends as well, maybe more.
Stalk well...
Can't wait We will be in a tent this year . hopefully next to the knarly knot love those rennies!!!
Rachel, me, Lis, and Charles will be attending opening weekend, March 22nd weekend, and March 28th weekend for sure. We will most certainly be there other weekends as well, but they have not been laid out yet... Probably closing weekend and 1 or 2 others.... I'll post when we've made our plans clear.
Sad to say Mast Hugger Kate will not be attending (2 daughters have a cheerleading comp.) Cant wait to see all of you.
4 days and a few hours left then.... Kab....wait do they have a cannon?

I will be there repersenting The Kingdom of Onondaga and you didnt have to persuade me with spirits
Looks like I'll be attending alone on St. Pat's weekend. Cowgrrl & kids are going on a spring break trip with her parents. So, do I camp out in our van, or stay in a cheap hotel? Anyone got any recommendations?
Camping out is always more fun!! This fair has nice bathroom facilities in the camp grounds and though the camp grounds are not crazy full, there is always a friendly crowd there! Plus, that's where I'll be for the season.

I think I'll be out that weekend as well. Looked at hotels yesterday, one that seemed nice and not too expensive was the Best Western Southpark Inn.

That's the one we're staying in.
We will be coming the weekend of April 11th (Easter Weekend) and we will be camping.

It's a bit of a drive from this hotel to the faire itself, yes?

I searched "Troup, TX" on hotels.com, and it says 14.7 miles from this Best Western to Troup. I think we stayed at the La Quinta last year, which is 16 miles. I might stay there since it's $20 cheaper ($79 vs. $99). There's also a Ramada for $67, that's 14.8 miles away. Subtract 2 miles from these to get the distance to Four Winds.

What is the name of your booth MacLaren??? I know you do Bamboo and what is your booth number so we can find you??? :D
Just booked a room at the Fairfield Inn Tyler for March 14, and got the Four Winds discount rate! ;D ;D
I plan on driving directly to Faire, Sat AM, but it may be 11 before I get there.
The first weekend Lord Rhy ap Gordon and I stayed at the Ramada Inn with was right on 110 at the 323 loop. An easy shot down to the faire. This weekend (on Duchess Claire's suggestion) we are trying out the Motel 8 which is much closer to I 20 and 69. I will let y'all know if this motel (cheapest) is worth the savings.
We look forward to seeing all our pirate friends this weekend.
Alas, real life interferes and I won't be able to make it out to Four Winds. Just means I have to wait for Scarby. :(

Well, as Murphy's Law would have it, plans have changed. I've canceled my room and I won't be there this Sat. I will, however, get up early Sunday and drive to Four Winds. Hopefully the weather will be warmer & drier by then. Hope to see some of you out there.
was going to go this weekend, but rain and a tent are no fun so i won't be attending.
Mast Hugger Kate, the kids and I will be there on the 21st and celebrating her Birthday!
Sir Moostifer and I will be back on the 21st along with Sir Marcus and our Majesty, the King (Kenny) :D
I so wish I could be there to see all of you. Sending my best wishes, Saraya and the rest of the Kingdom!
