  How did the closing day go?  
 David and I could not make it back to faire on Sunday, though we had planned on it.  We were manning the Clan tent for the 12th annual Highland Heavy Athletic games and Celtic festival in Davenport on Saturday, 8am-6pm.   Long day, rainy and cold.  David is now coming down with a cold, so we decided not to push it.  
 We will be at the Midlands Pirate fest next weekend here in our hometown.  Hope to see some of you there!  Hope we have good crowds and good weather, since last year was canceled due to SNOW!
   Had to edit this.....I saw the photos on Facebook for the 2010 mudfest.  Goodness, those dresses will never come clean.   Happy Birthday your Majesty!

Rowen, which clan tent were you manning? I was at the Festival with the Kingdom of Andorra living history group. Wish I'd known you were going to be there, as we didn't get to make DMRF this year.
