Countdown to Opening Day!!!

[Rani Zemirah]

But isn't it still only $5 for the weekend this year?  That's not bad, even for just visiting! 

[Brian O'Leary]

Alas, we have found it necessary to raise our prices to $10/person/weekend!  We've doubled the size of the campground in anticipation of a groundswell of campers (and the parking lot too, for daytrippers).  In addition to that we've added toilets and showers, which we are working to make available to campers after hours.  All these things sound simple but are actually quite costly for us.  We hope you understand that in our nascent state we have to nickel and dime a little bit.

Our campgrounds are a major source of community spirit and camaraderie.  It would be unfortunate for folks that have come from so far to miss out on that!  But for those that wish to reside in the comfort of a private hotel room, consider the properties on our website (http://www.sherwoodforestfaire.com/lodging/) that are offering discounts to Sherwood Forest Faire patrons.  You need to call on the telephone to book with the discount (sorry about that!).  If you use those hotels, let us know how it goes - we kept a couple of last year's off our list this year due to negative patron feedback and would be happy to refine our listings further.

Is there and age limit on the camping fee?  I'll have my 9y/o with me, if we're able to attend, and I hadn't figured $20 for camping into our budget. 

Have there been other price increases I should know about in advance?  Are use of the showers included in the camping price?

Rani,
  >  Camping Fees - 5 and under Free.  Everyone else is $10 per weekend.
  >  Showers - Use of the showers were included in the camping fee last year.  They had trailers last year, this year they have built
           permant showers/flushies from what I've picked up on the net.

Well, with gas prices what they are now, and a few other factors... it's looking less and less like we'll be able to make it to Sherwood at all this year, anyway.  

Thanks for the info, though... and who knows, something could still happen to turn things around and get us there, after all.

Just FYI, the Best Western had no idea there was supposed to be a special rate for Sherwood patrons. I think almost all of the hotel people are booked at the Hampton in Bastrop. Their prices last week were $89-$97 through priceline.

36 days!

[Merlin the Elder]

Can't you be a little more accurate than that, m'Lady? 

[Lady Kett]

I could start with the Rennie Math, Merlin! Would that work for you?

[beckgam462]

Rennie math is her speciality

[Merlin the Elder]

Yeah...what is the Rennie math time?  (I'm not sure I know exactly what the Rennie math is!)
