It's Fall in the Carolinas which means CRF is in full swing!
Time to mark your calendar for the annual gathering at Fairhaven!
Meet-n-Greet: Friday, Nov. 12th, 7pm - ?
Galway Hooker Pub
17044 Kenton Dr
Cornelius, NC
Opening Tailgate: Saturday, Nov 13th, 8:30am - 9:45am
CRF in the VIP Parking Lot
(look for the white pickup with the 15 foot flagpole flying the Irish flag)
Bring something to eat and wee bit more to share!
Question? Send it to Hibernian and we'll get you an answer.
I will try to make it!
You know my lady and I will be there! Can't wait!
Sadly, I'll not be able to make it at all that weekend. :( My BFF in Colorado Springs is having surgery done on her hip and doesn't really have anyone to help her while she's immobile for a few days. So, I'll in in COS that weekend helping her out.
Have fun!!
Okay I'm almost afraid to post this. For the last two years running we've made plans to come and each time one of the two boys' football teams were in the playoffs. I've seen my oldest lose a Super Bowl and my youngest win one. The youngest's team in definitely going into the post season. If he's still in the playoffs the weekend of the 13th I will likely be attending alone. If he gets bumped out in the first round Lady Di may accompany me. All of this is of course subject to last minute change. Keeping my fingers crossed that the third time is a charm.
We might be able to make it. Depends on if we stay in Charlotte/Concord that Friday night before.

While we would all love to see Lady Di, best of luck to the youngin!

In case it would help, Dawn W. has secured a real decent deal with the Microtel Hotel in Cornelius, NC. Queen size bed, perhaps even 2 queen size beds, for 1 - 2 people, only $39 plus tax. Call them at 704-894-1828, rooms blocked for Clan M'Crack.

I've stayed there before. It's a pretty good hotel. :) I promise I'm pretty tough on hotels. Left one last Saturday and checked into a different one the same day when I was in Pensacola for a horse show.
Is this the official page for the M'Crack Invasion? I can't find the rest of the info and the list of attendees?...ooohh hiberian you've got to...absolutely... got to convince your lepus to escort the Chieftess Bree and her Ox Nox on Sunday...please? it just isn't proper for them to go walking about and we really want him to protect them to...
We'll be there with a northern wench in tow!
Invasion is just around the bend and the numbers continue to grow...
Remember: The Galway Hooker (Cornelius, NC) for Friday night!
Saturday morning tailgate in the VIP Parking Lot. If possible please bring something to share.
Saturday night after faire we're back at The Galway Hooker!
Sunday morning is breakfast in garb and then another day in Fairhaven.
I'll be there Saturday with my new fella, his daughter, and my best friend! Can't wait!!
For any of the M'Crack ladies that might be interested, I will have socks available at The Hooker on Friday night.
Its confirmed, we'll be at the faire on Saturday and Sunday but probably won't make it for Meet N Greet or Tailgate. Feel free to stop us if you see us walking around. It'll be easier to find me than for me to find you :)

Actually just go to the Midieval Margaritta Pub and you'll find the M'Cracks standing around in kilts. Very easy to find us! ;D

I regret to report that between one thing and another (dam mundane world) I do not arrange discount tickets this year. If you are local, tickets may be purchased at the Harris Teeter Grocery Store for $18. (it saves a buck)
Tickets may also be bought on line at $19 and you avoid the ticket booth.

Looking good for invasion, see everyone at The Galway Hooker tonight!
Rumor has it you might be there early, so we might just have to join you. Wouldn't want you to have to sit in a bar, all by yourself. ;)

Bring it on, I'll be there shortly after work! Nice quiet dinner before the festivities begin.
Is there a photo time scheduled that R/Fer's that aren't M'Cracks can crowd in on??

R/Fers are always welcomed, M'crack or not! Chieftains toast is at 3:00pm, usually pictures are taken just before or just afterwards. Please come by the toast, and all are welcome for the shot.
There is usually someone under the trees just by the Medieval Margarita stand (down near the jousts). This is where the chieftains toast will be had and where questions and answers can be found all day.
Or come by the tailgate! The more the merrier.
I know we're all welcomed, not sure why I wrote it that way. LOL!!
I'll try to make sure we are around there around that time! See y'all in the morning!
