Huzzah to this grande faire........ I wait impatiently for the festivities!!!
Any ideas on the participants?????
I can't wait!
I went and had a good time after I found the place. There wasn't a large crowd there (which is a good thing to me). It's pretty far out in the sticks. The website is pretty minimal.
