So who's going? It's Memorial Day weekend, so I'm planning to be there on Saturday, since I have other plans for Sunday and Monday.
My lady and I will be attending, not sure which day(s) though. Do you live in the area?
We're planning on being there on Sunday or Monday. We'd be working this one, but my son has to play in band for high school graduation.

I'm about an hour and a half away.
Have you been to Janesville or Midwest Ren Faire?
I have next weekend open and plan on attending one of them. So far listing toward Janesville.
I am still new to the faire scene, and have only been to Four Kingdoms and Stronghold.

I'm not familiar with the Midwest Ren Faire (or maybe I am, just can't recall where it's located). I hope to go to Janesville on the Saturday. We've gone every year since it's opened. A smaller faire, and most of the entertainment/cast is from Bristol, but since it's a more relaxed atmosphere, you can interact with them more. For example, we were sitting at a picnic table eating, and one of the entertainment acts came and sat down next to us and started talking and ate with us. We've never seen that happen at Bristol.
Anyhow, unless something comes up that stops me from getting there, see you on Saturday!
Let us know if you all plan to meet anywhere, we will be there Saturday as well.

We have been going to Minnesota for a few years, but just started garbing last year, so we are kind of new also. Since we have visited the faires in Arizona and Scarborough.
Maybe we will see you in Amana.

Similar thing happend to us at Stronghold last year. We were sitting under the pavilion eating and watching Oderiferous Thunderbottom, and Wendy from Merry Measure sat down with us and we had a nice little chat.
I shall be performing there next weekend.
Ian Richard Sharpe, Royal Tax Collector
Will look for you (or maybe not if you are collecting taxes :) )
I may be going for one day depending on if I get someone to ride share with to St Louis or not that weekend. If I dont have anyone, then I will drive to Amanna.
Looks like time and finances won't allow us to attend this year. Maybe next year...
My Lady and I will be attending on Saturday at least, maybe more. Those of you from MRF may know Raven who sells chocolates from a basket. She has a booth at this fest and the chocolates are of course delightful.
I will be at Janesville this Saturday unless it rains then Sunday. I am still up in the air on Amana until I know for sure I dont have anyone to ride with from here to St Louis. So, it is still that waiting game.
I'm going to be there all 3 days, I'll be demoing basket weaving in the big pavillion. Please stop by and say hello.
We live in the small hamlet of Cedar Rapids and will be there sometime (or sometimes) over the weekend.
Who all is going to be there?
Looks as though I will not be making Amana, but I will be in marshall Michigan for Mayfaire instead on this Saturday
Anyone with photos of the faire?
