Hello Misty! I'm in MN too and definately looking forward to august. I hade my surgery June 22 and am desperately waiting for the soreness around my incision to go away so I can reaquaint my stomach to being smushed into a bodice. By next season, we're gonna be HOT! China

oh hun, so sorry you got ill one day at NCRF I ate like 2 bites of sausage, omg the next 2 hrs I was hurling it was awful! Now...I take food! sheesh Anyway Va has started for Me now and everyone is so excited to see me and I have to remind them who I am its wonderful. I loved Scarby and hope to attend again in 2005.

I have only been to the scarborough once. And feel it is in my top 5 faires. Such a beautiful location. But haven't been back since I had to transfer to Chicago with my job. But that was 3 yrs ago and it looks to be another transfer by the end of the month to somewhere in Kansas. So now I will have the chance to attend again in 2005. Other wise the Bristol faire is great too, as the KansasCity one as well. Bristol starts in July and KansasCity starts labor day.

Opens next weekend. I am so excited...I can hardly wait!! Of course, I will miss the fried ice cream (can ya see me having my first dumping episode in the outside privy next to the smelly elephant rides???). I haven't been in a couple of years.

I got your email and promptly did a stupid and deleted it without writing sheesh. I know the feeling about garb, I made this great bodice early last season and now its too big. I really dont want to make anything else right now what with me being early on but Im gonna hve to wear something. I think at least for the 2 weekends rapidly approaching I can take in my Irish Dress and get by with that and a bra under(hate wearing bra with garb). *sigh*
