Hey all!

I've seen a few threads about this in the past, but I still haven't heard from people who have gone. What is it? Is it worth the 70.00? And is there a theme? All that fun jazz. We are thinking of switching our normal weekend where we stay over and visit two days in a row to the Festival Friday for the Masquerade Ball and the following Saturday.

But do you come in actual masquerade (masks?)

Does anyone have stories from previous years, and pictures? I want honesty here, I'm sure we all love the MiRF, but for 70.00 I need to know the 'real' deal about this one!

I saw that as well!  That sounds like so much fun!  ;D

Thank you, thta was what I received, but I wanted to know what else there is to know! What is the festivities? What is typical dress? Masks are required (that would have been good to know!) Any theme? Who is going? What ya wearin? :D

A list of things going on, the location (I think the castle), as well as anything else to let us know about would have been super!

Thank you LadyAnn for the info, :D

My husband, myself, and our two friends will be there. Just bought my mask, though not traditional ;)
