I thought if people posted where they plan to be in 2010, others going to those faires could know who to look for!
So here's ours

Janesville, WI Sunday, May 16
Dubuque, IA May 22-23

Also a Seven Nations concert in Dubuque - does that count?
Now where is my bank card? ::)
I made it over to Sherwood Forest Faire on 21-Mar-10. That will probably be it for me this year.
EDIT: I'm going to get to visit MNRF on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend, while on vacation visiting my parents where they live during the Summer near St Cloud, MN.

Then did Rendezvous at Scarby
We plan to hit TRF Opening, AHE, and possibly Thanksgiving weekend
Well, earlier plans fell through, but this is a pretty firm revised schedule:
Saturday, August 21 - Bristol RF, Kenosha, Wisconsin
Saturday, September 11 - Des Moines RF, Des Moines, Iowa
Saturday, September 18 - Celtic Festival & Highland Games, Davenport, Iowa
Saturday, October 9 - Four Kingdoms Ren & Pirate Fest, Rock Island, Illinois
KC renfest - Sept. 26th
Great Plains faire in Kansas - Oct. 9th
TRF -Thanksgiving weekend if I can make it back home the the holiday :(
Great Plains faire in Kansas - some time in April
Scarby around the last weekends
MIRF every weekend I'm not working. What I wouldn't give to be able to travel to other faires. Do you think society will look down upon me if I abandon my quest for a degree and become a full time rennie?
I may be adding a Saturday, August 28 trip to Illinois Ren Faire in Danville if I can convince my wife.
We're still planning on being at DesMRF opening weekend... all three days (hopefully). So far the remaining Sundays are up in the air as Sir Morgan doesn't get home from work until 10/11 Sunday mornings. By the time he gets home, showers, gets in his kilt and all it may be after 1 before we get there. We're gonna play those days by ear.
Looks like we'll be at MiRF both Saturday 9/25 and Sunday 9/26. My mom will be joining us on Saturday... in garb no less. Last year she didn't get to see much of faire due to my wedding so this year she agreed to go with Sir Morgan and me for part of the day. Hopefully she will be able to get around without much trouble... she's 81 and still pretty good :D.
