It is totally irresponsible of me to spend the money to make a trip to Sherwood this year. So mote it be. Me late Mum always thought I was a bit tetched.

I gotta get a new tent too. Finally thinking about going period style. Any favorite companies? And, I agree, I gotta be more ready for cold weather options. I FROZE last year. :)

As far as myself, Sherwood starts tomorrow.

Mow about 40 acres of Participant's and Patron's campgrounds. Weedwack all around the Faire area. Cut and stack firewood at the Seven Sisters. Move travel trailer to my normal spot. Cleanup the Seven Sisters area.

And then, next weekend, I have serious work to take care of.

Let's see, TRF takes all of August through November; Sherwood needs cleaning up from December until opening early February, then keeping the campers in line til end of March.  Wow, get Scarborough on board and then all you'll need is a small summer faire to carry through til you have to start at TRF again. 

You'll meet yourself coming and going.

Ditto on what Ginette said.  Your efforts are greatly appreciated and have gone a long way to make camping a better experience for many of us.

Yeah, Mike does work his arse off.  A couple years ago at Sherwood, he was preparing Seven Sisters for a wedding, and was raking the sand for the feng shui. As he was doing it, people were walking right through it! One guy even brought his little daughter into the circle and held her hand as she kicked the patterns into oblivion!

I give lots of points to Mike...

I'll add my back slap to Mike as well. Without Mike spearheading both SWFF and TRF, camping would definitely not be as enjoyable as it is.

Thank you Mike :-)

Just got back from Sherwood and see that nobody has put in the countdown for today.

It's 26 days, 18 hours, 20 minutes, and 36 seconds.
