So i am getting a bunch of my friends together friday night and we are going for a marathon rain dance just for saturday.

Toki Bloodaxe

Can I bribe you not to do that? I have been rained on enough already.

Capt Gabriela Fullpepper

I agree with Toki NO rain or if it does a nice 30 to 60 minute shower and that is it

Thank you for all the input & silliness in-between!! You are all so clever & fun :D  I will try to be prepared for all weather possibilities (except hurricanes!)

By the by, as true as most of this info has been (and it really is true.  We've had some strange and amazing weather happen at our faire), I believe the MAJORITY of the time we experience bright, sunny weather, sometimes with scattered clouds that may or may not bring scattered showers.  I would estimate the average faire day weather at between 75 and 90 degrees (but being Colorado, it's a dry heat).

Still... the weather gods are tricky little feckers round these parts.

AHHHH But the Osage and Saux blood should counter the other :) and prevent the heavy rain. Just make it shower a little to kill the dust and keep it cool

i see everyone going after the castaway pirate opening weekend.  :( :'(

I don't know if I can keep the rain here much longer. With roads being washed away, and bridges disappear, I may need to send this rain somewhere else, if only for a little while.

We've been rained on every day for nearly 2 weeks. And there is more rain in the forecast for the next week.

Well, you're the one threatening rain :P

We had plenty of rain to go around up in FoCo last evening...flooded my patio and overflowed the complex pool. There was a huge pile of hail under my windows. Luckily no damage. Probably not good news for the rest of the Poudre River valley though.

Of course not, Wizard.  We are simply suggesting that you be prepare-ed for our somewhat unpredictable weather.   ;)
