Countdown to Sherwood Forest Faire 2012

[Rani Zemirah]

Wishin' we were getting ready to join all of you, also... 

[Magpie Flynn]

Truly wish we could be out there for opening weekend, but this little bundle of joy graced us with her presence on Saturday, and will be a few weeks yet before we are able to travel out there.

Aww! Congratulations!

[Lady Gryphon]

This is the earliest I've ever had all my stuff together for faire.  Nope I'm not excited.  I wonder how many time I can ask "ARE WE THERE YET" and not get left on the side of I-10?

[nomad]

Just bought tiki torches, solar lamps, and a wrought iron lantern holder for our campgrounds. Always a work in progress.

10 days and 9 minutes!

I need to talk to the weatherman...I don't like his forecast...

Just bought tiki torches, solar lamps, and a wrought iron lantern holder for our campgrounds. Always a work in progress.

I'm not sure if you can still find them this time of year, but last year around Halloween I found solar-powered Christmas lights that worked really well for lighting our campsite at TRF. The nice thing about them is they also add color and help your site stand out more. This was vital for us, since we had no fires last year to light our path.

We've got plenty of lantern holders.  I had them made by the blacksmith inside Sherwood, down by the arena.  Now we have to find enough lanterns or candle holders to hang from them (o:

Okay, countdown

9 days 1 hour 16 minutes 28 seconds.

wheeeee!

[Merlin the Elder]

Polly, it's getting hard to get my work done!  I keep jumping up and down and peeing my pants!  I need some Depends, I guess...

Forecast is looking a little better...I'll keep working on it...

[C Dragonworks]

I am SOOOOO ready...still trying to see what the weather is going to be so I know which garb to haul out!

[Breandan]

Cuteness bomb!

Seriously, though, what'd be the best weekend for a newborn, neither too hot nor too cold?

[Merlin the Elder]

Next week sounds good, Breandan.  If she wants her picture taken with an old wizard, it will be her only chance at Sherwood this year! She is a beautiful child...

8 days, 2 hours, 54 minutes, and 0 seconds before the cannon fires and opens the gates for the 3rd season of the Sherwood Forest Faire

[Magpie Flynn]

What a perfect way to start the day! Adorable baby and knowing we're in the single digits for the countdown!

[LadyJessica]

Breandan, I'm with Merlin, as that may be the only weekend I'm out there, but I know that it's too early.  But B, you also know that this is Texas and asking what weekend is neither too hot or too cold is like asking us to if it's going to rain on your street next Monday evening.  It'll vary from county to county and by how much Mother wants to play with us that day.  My suggestion is to pick a weekend and just go, you know you'll have fun.  (But I do secretly wish and hope you'll make it out for opening.    )
