I recall that the last year or two they had a rum tasting on pirate weekend.
Does anyone know if that will be happening again? And if so, what weekend?
For the first time in several years I will not be able to attend Memorial weekend (I haz a sad) but that means I get to choose another random weekend to attend and so I get to go to the rum tasting (WOOHOO!).
*I believe it comes as no surprise that I am fond of rum*
sigh...
I had hoped to have an answer before my Lovely Lady has to put in her dates for next years vacations but the crickets I am hearing tell me that for the first time ever... no one on here knows the answer
*rummy sigh*
You might try sending a message to Richard Patterson (VIII) on the Forums here, or on Facebook...
I just heard from them on FB.
They don't know yet.
*rum is tough to plan for apparently*
I know the last 2 years that they have done the Scotch and Irish Whiskey tastings, there was no real promotion for the event. Last year I went and asked the bartender, because there were only post on here about the tastings. Nothing official from the faire that I could find.
*you can take the following with a grain of salt* What I have inferred from conversations about the tastings is its all about their liquor distributor. They have to select and stock a minimum amount to cover the tastings and many times the choices fall through at the last minute.
Unlike Dallas, Waxahachie has fewer choices in distributors.
I will say I did enjoy the Tastings that I attended. Really well hosted.
Regardless of the rum tasting, i still want to go to pirate weekend.
I got a reply back on FB that said they hadn't decided when that would be yet
Not a good thing for those who have to plan vacations a year in advance (as my Lovely Lady does).
*I only plan on rum times.*
Themed weekends were announced.
I get to miss pirate weekend again.
We already had plans to make opening and pirate weekend will be 2nd weekend.
*I'm never gonna get to do the Scarby rum tasting*
