Hello Margaret and anyone else reading this post,

As a vendor at the Michigan Faire, I can tell you that this is the first we have heard of this.  We did check the website and did verify what is being said.

So, I wonder now if there are any other vendors who have read this that were aware of the extra weekend or has agreed to it?  We are scrambling now to see if we can get someone to work it as our regular workers all have prior commitments.

This extra weekend was not in the contracts so I wonder how many people will actually stay.  What about all the acts?  Will they stay too?

Thanks for the head's up.  If not for this forum, we would have had no idea about the change!  ???

What do you sell Kelly? And what kind of help would you need?

Pretty sure everyone knows about it now. It was announced a lot during the weekend and they are offering patrons 2 for  1 tickets. Which is nice.

Two for one? That sounds good. Maybe I can get a bunch of other people to go with us on the last weekend.

That would be fun and I'll be there. Doing my bit to keep mankind in 1569, where it belongs.

Wow, I wonder how many crafters need to pack up and leave for other shows?

Has attendance been that bad -or that good?

from what i have gathered it was added due to the 13th and 14th being basically rained out.

It's to make up for the Monsoon like conditions in the mud river, that was formerly known as, The Holly Grove Site. It's drying out now, much less squish and it should be a fun weekend. It's going to be different, but different is wonderful and I'll be there, so it's a party. It's always a party with me  ;D

Barb and I will be there the very last Sunday for sure, but most likely not Saturday due to me working.

Is it the rain, or the movie that is supposed to be using MIRF as a location?
