Hello All:
If you are still interested in joining me on October 16, 2010 at the Ohio Renaissance Festival in Harveysburg, Ohio; please leave me a message here with your real name and a legitimate e-mail address for yourself and I'll shoot you an e-mail with the particulars on the event! I also have some other information here below for all of you tonight!
I am going to be leaving from where I live here (in Cold Spring, Kentucky) with my huband, Tony around 8 am local time, [which is Eastern time, by the way] to get up there to the festival, because it takes me like an hour and some change to actually get up there from here. Tony and I hope that you can join us this year!
As a side note, (and I cannot off hand remember if I have mentioned this information previously here), if it rains in the days preceeding the day that Tony and I are heading up to the festival, the grounds there are going to be rather muddy, so if you join us there, please be advised to wear closed toed shoes, or you're going to end up with some muddy, little piggies on your feet!! It would also be a great idea to take up a light weight jacket, because in October, it gets rather nippy rather quickly in Harveysburg, Ohio; not to mention that it gets rather chilly on that hillside where the festival grounds are located there as well.
Some other useful information is that you might want to bring your digital camera with plenty of batteries, so you can take pictures, while you are at the festival. Oh, and if you go to the mud show, please try to not sit in the front row or in the front middle with your digital camera out, because those guys actually throw mud and I've actually gotten mud on me in 2007 from the guys throwing mud during the show that I watched that year, (not that I'm complaining, mind you, I'm just warning you now!!) If you opt to sit in the front row or even where you can see the mud show really well, I also reccommend that you buy yourself a disposable camera or 2 and use them exclusively at the mud show, (which is what I did last year and it was worth it, folks!!)
On a more cost effective note -- you can pick up the admission tickets on the web page that I have posted in a below blog on this page or you can pick the tickets up at any cash register at any Dayton or Cincinnati, Ohio area Kroger grocery store, like what Tony and I might do this year. (Tony and I bought our tickets at the south Cold Spring Kroger store last year for the 2009 festival day, incidentally and it saved us some money back then, by the way.)
Also on a money note, they use to charge $2 -- cash only for the parking. I checked the web page below lately and I noticed that they aren't saying anything about the $2 parking fee here, folks, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they have quit charging it. So, just make sure that if you are driving separately from Tony and myself that you come up with the $2 that it takes to park in American dollars, or you might not be able to park on October 16.
Since I am on the subject of money, folks, not that I'm trying to cheat the folks at the festival out of some money, but I reccommend packing yourself a lunch and eating it out in your car, because you can get your hand stamped, go out to your vehicle and eat your meal at your vehicle to save yourself some bread, (and I'm talking money!!) The reason why I am telling you this afore mentioned information now, is because the food and drinks, (even the alchol, for those of you who are 21 years old or older and can buy alchol here in the States) is rather pricey in nature, [in other words, something in the way of either food or drink that would normally cost you like $5 at the local Kroger would probably cost you like $10 at the festival, no lie.] Although if you want to try out the food, just be prepared to pay through the nose for it, although those turkey legs are really good and huge to boot as well. The mead (an "Adult beverage") is really good there at the festival, even though it is expensive there as well.
Any way, folks -- I am going to have some more information on the festival soon here for all of you, but I just wanted to share this information with you tonight!! I will be talking to you later!! :)
