Conference turris::womannotes-v3

    I'm interested, Bonnie, but I have to check my calendar,
    which I left in Lauriat's the last time I was in there.
    I'll let you know when I retrieve it.
    
    Eileen

    let me know the date you pick.  Sounds like fun to me.  8-)

 Oh, I bet. ;^)

	It's open through the monday of Columbus day, I believe.

	The regular admission price is $12, but discount ($9) tickets
	are available through Personnel (or whoever is handling activities
	type things now).  Also, McDonald's has coupons good for $1-2 off
	of admission price.  ($2 on Saturdays, and $1 on Sundays, I think)

    Doctah, behave!  ;>

    So the only possible date for me would be Sunday the 13th, is
    anyone else free then?
    
    Bonnie

    Well.....My arm, *might* be twisted - I'll need to find out if any of
    the people I've been trying to talk into playing hooky on Monday the
    14th and going down will bite first, but put me down as a definate
    maybe! ;-)
    
    bright blessings,
    -HA

    Bonnie -
    
    On Sunday the 13th I am a definite, enthusiastic *yes*.  I've wanted to
    go for years, but never wanted to go alone.  :-)
    
    Alison

    I'm a definite probably.  I'll mark the day off in my little book and
    see if I can make it work.  8-)

    
    I think I'll already *be* there the 13th ;).
    
    y'all wander by the Fellowship Foundry and say "hi", y'hear?
    
    -Jody
    

    We (hubby & I) have made plans to go this Oct 5th.  I
    have coupons good for $2 off a ticket that I got from
    McD's.  Since we only live about a town away, I think
    it's about time we tried KRF out!
    
    HH

    It (the 13th) works out to be a good day for me and Tim to go, but
    we'll probably have to leave early.
    
    						Ann B.

    
    NO!  It *IS* open through Oct 20!
    
    (I have a discount coupon that says so.)
    

    I'll go on the 13th, Bonnie.
    
    Eileen

    Take plenty of money with you!  The prices are alittle high on some
    things.  
    
    You can only get tickets for food and they won't sell less then 5
    dollers worth.  
    
    But it is nice to see at least onces....
    
    Cheers

    It is cheaper and easier to pack a cooler with food and beverage due
    to the high cost of food at the faire.  There are LOTS of booths
    selling different items from candles to rental costumes.  The
    jousting exhibition is great.  Beware of the beggars.  They have to
    be paid to leave you alone.  
    
    It's a fun place to go at least once.  Must see the gypsy dancing
    and the mud eating beggars.

Be advised: the people running King Richard's Faire will _not_ let you onto
the grounds witha cooler.  Of course you can leave the coller in your car and
go out for a picnic at lunchtime, but you cannot bring one in and sit in 
amongst the action.

    Well so far the following people have said they are interested in
    going to the Faire:
    
    Me
    Eileen Dunne
    Jim Campbell
    Heather Allison
    Alison Waskom
    Ann Broomhead and Tim
    
    Since I've never been there before, I'll need some suggestions as to
    
    1. What time and where shall we meet
    2. How do I get there?
    
    I checked here in WMO and there are no discount tickets available
    for the day we picked (the 13th) :-(.
    
    Bonnie

    
    take 495 South to exit 2, Carver MA.
    
    At the end of the ramp, take a left, and follow route 58 (which will
    take a left at one point, but there's a sign clarifying that 58 turns
    there).  There are "edaville railroad" signs (a picture of a train),
    and signs with a crown on them with "FAIRE" written over it.  Follow
    them too!  The Faire is just a bit beyond Edaville Railroad off rte 58.
    Shortly after you pass a pair of white lions guarding a driveway,
    there will be a banner proclaiming you have arrived - the entrance is
    on the left.
    
    huzzah!
    
    -Jody
    

    BUT, before you get there, take exit 4 off 495S, left off
    ramp to the McDonald's on your right.  They have $1/$2 discount
    coupons available for KRF.  It costs $12 per adult to get in. (yikes!)
    It is open 11:00 am til 6:00 pm.  Sit on the right side of
    the jousting ring (the right side as in as you come toward the
    ring....this is the "bad guy" side and it's a lot more fun
    for the crowd! (-8 ) 
    

    I'm still on, Bonnie. I'll send you mail about details.
    
    Eileen

    Anyone want to carpool to this? I'm in Nashua.
    
    Eileen

    I live just off 495, south of the Mass Pike.  It might be convenient to
    gather at my place and go from there.  I'm probably about an hour from
    the Faire itself, so I'd suggest meeting between 10 and 10:30 am.  Or
    we might want to meet up at either the Burger King or MacDonald's at
    the 495/Rte 109 interchange.
     
    Directions to my house by mail to those requesting them.
    
    Alison

    Tim and I will be picking up his nephews and bringing them, so we
    don't have a prayer of meeting anyone anywhere at a given time.
    
    						Ann B.

    How about we all meet at the the MacDonald's at the 495/109
    interchange, (at exit 4)? I can try and be there by 10 am,
    and will plan to leave by 10.30.
    
    Bonnie

    Check that McD's for coupons.  

    495/109 isn't exit 4.  It's three exits south of the Mass Pike, and
    about 1.5 miles south of the Rte 85 exit.  The McDonalds is West of the
    interchange, visible from the ramp - you'll be turning right if you
    were southbound on 495.
    
    I'll be there at 10.
    
    Alison

    Thanks Alison, sorry I messed up reading the previous notes.
    
    Bonnie

Bonnie & others,

hope you all enjoy the Fair. I wish I could join you but my son has other plans for Sunday !!  


Enjoy it and keep me in mind for NEXT year !!

Debbi J

    Oh, Debbi, dern, it would have been so great to see you again.
    
    Please come by when you are next in WMO!
    
    sniff
    
    Bonnie

    Well 6 people managed to meet and find each other at the Faire inspite
    of sitting for a half an hour at two different MacDonalds!
    
    Present were Eileen Dunne, Alison Waskom, Ann Broomhead and Tim,
    Jim Campbell and myself.
    
    Most of us managed to find and greet Jody in her booth.
    
    The Faire is really a wonderful place, and a lot of fun, but, as
    other people have said, you need a *lot* of money.
    
    Bonnie
