Great day today except for 2 things:

-I think the 13YO is going to deem himself 'too cool' for Faire.I think we may forgo his FoF pass next year. 

-Said 13YOs allergies got totally out of control while we were there so we had to leave a bit earlier than planned.  His eyes looked terrible & he was snotting all over the place.

Actually, a water wagon usually DOES go through before the faire opens.   That tells you how bad the dust is out there!

I just read on Facebook that there was a bad wreck around Scarby. Anybody with info on that?

I just read on Facebook that there was a bad wreck around Scarby. Anybody with info on that?

This morning, right around 10 AM cannon, there was an accident which, according to friends stuck in the traffic involved a truck and a motorcycle. Careflight came in. That's really all I know.

There was also a bad accident at the 2PM joust. One of the ladies on the side with a horse in training had her horse spook and throw her. They took her out on a back-board (?) and had to call an ambulance on site. Word was, at least at the Iris & Rose show @ 3:30 that Lady Danny was "ok" which, considering the way her horse flung her, is quite a blessing. Hopefully someone will be able to keep us updated.

The backboard is a fairly standard precaution, and is not necessarily indicative of actual injury. It's to immobilize until they can determine for absolute certainty via x-ray or MRI that no spinal damage has occurred.

I hope the cyclist(s) are okay. A motorcycle and a truck is not an even match, and some of our FoF friends are bikers.

When we came in it looked like it was two trucks, there where two that where messed up looking so i thought it was them maybe it was them and a bike .

Great weekend with our grandkids! Also great to have met Merlin before opening (the Scots did march magnificently). And we saw you Ladykat and your group from a ways over (love the baby's garb). Grandkids favorite - Adam Crack, we had to see his show twice.

I managed to come down yesterday for a few hours after the Japanese Festival at the Botanical Gardens in Ft. Worth and it was quite wonderful, though...walking in gate at around 2 or so was very very odd for me (since I'm usually chomping at the bit if my crew and I do not arrive earlier than 8:15).

Also, Danni, a dear friend of mine and the lady rider that was thrown today is doing alright, just a lot of pain She dislocated her hip but they managed to pop it back in on the ambulance ride back, as far as we know that was the extent of the damage.
