We've got an 18th century event in Indiana that conflicts with MNRF this year and I may need a person or two to go with me who won't mind missing the last weekend of Fest. It's an event that is even older than MNRF and can be as busy as the busiest weekends at MNRF. http://www.tcha.mus.in.us/feast.htm
We leave very early Friday morning and come back early Monday morning. We camp on site behind our "gaming hall" tent. We pay for all your food, and we can provide a sleeping bag, a modern cot, propane heaters if it's cold, and may have some loaner clothes if you don't have something that looks more 18th century.
You can get an idea of what we look like when on the road at
