Holy smokes lass! Do you need any help with these? I would be happy to chip in some pence for the cause ... please let me know.

Thanks but I have these covered. I am a major crafter and these are my winter month crafts. I was going to do something like you suggested where people can write their names to make remembering easier....basically since I drink one or two (or five) I could use the name help.

Awesome! It sounds like we are on the way.

[Amras Elfwine]

I'll need a special tag for my familiar, who was named "Naughty Todd" by the wenches at TRF...evidently, in Plantersville, all squirrels are named "Todd"...

So where's the Cookie Committee?

So what's the Social committee for? Is that out-of-faire dinners and things?

I think the Social comm. will handle the events and ideas for interaction at and away from faire. Come up with some fun things to do at faire and also help with the planning of the Friday night Social gathering.

Amras Elfwine be very careful what you ask for...but if you want a special name tag I think it could be arranged...only if I have creative freedom (you might be sorry). Plus with a special name tag you have to really live up to the new alias...

Hey Scotsman, Give me some kinda idea of Friday nite social and what happens. Area? Time?I would love to help.

[Lord Dragonspyre]

Any word out there on hotels and accomodations in the area? Any kind of group booking we can do that's close to the Faire?

These are questions that need to be worked out ... careful, you may find yourself in charge of something 

In years past the Friday night gathering was designed for those folks that arrived into town early and wanted to "kick off" the festivities! Last year it also served as the induction ceremonies for the Ette & Teer crew. I imagine it will be the same for this year. As we begin to coordinate Friday night I would like to bring the Ettes into the fold so that we can keep it one big happy family.

Friday night should be a facility/bar/pub that can hold a large amount of folks ... say 50 - 100 ... and consideration should be given to the fact that M'Crack's will be there in force ... can you say NC-17. It will probably kick off around 1900 (7 PM). I would like to keep it within 20 miles of faire since most of our out of towners will be lodging near faire itself.

If anyone has an good place they can recommend, just shout.

I hope this helps a little.

Yes that is the correct information for the KOA.  Might I say that I stay there every Labor Day weekend and it is a great place.  For those flying in, they have like 10 or so cabins that sleeps 4 and are like small hotel rooms with A/C but you have to go to the shower house for around $60/night.  They also have I think 4 lodges which will sleep 6 and have A/C, full kitchen and bath but they are like $200/night.  Tent sites are $40/night and RV sites are around $50/night.
