Title: A few things different this season
Post by: trevor ylisaari on July 07, 2009, 08:01:44 PM
Just wanted to give everyone around here a heads-up that things have really been rolling along in the site-prep department this year.
Lots of improvements for all to look forward to.

First an for-most. Wait until you see the beautiful flower garden by the front gate.
Saw it for the first time last weekend and was just amazed.

You all are going to love some of the improvements to the Drift Inn area.
Especially around the pub!
I won't give anything away yet, so as not to ruin the surpise though.

And there is litterally tons of new stone that has been put down in several areas to aleviate mud issues.

And for anyone looking for pickels, they moved the pickel booth from the Stumble Inn food area, all the way out by Olive's Black Ox Cottage.

As long as they are still serving Smithwick's I am sold! Best faire beer ever!

(Guinness is the best faire ALE ever)

Thanks Hep for the plug :-)  You and Rhonda did a lot also. new benches, buildings were taken care of by you guys.
We all worked really hard to get GLMF looking pretty. Check out the main food courts. Whole face lift!

*waving*  Hey Kat!  You made it!!!!  *hugs*

I've heard nothing but good things about all the work that's been done.  Scott was just on his way over there again today to check everything out, and he's had very nice things to say.

I'm excited about the changes at the Drift Inn  :-X  but i'm not telling what they are!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also.. Pickle Grove will have abbreviated hours.. It will only be open from 12-6.

You can still get pickles at the main food court until the Grove opens. Aubry will have the cast and volunteer's drinks still at the Grove.

I finished painting today out on site. It is all looking really good. (I am a bit tired of painting street signs.)

I noticed a few new craft vendors around. Check out the new ones down by Ellen's Pandora's Locks/Washng Well Wenches.
