Did find a camp ground and was able to "aquire" a tent from some friends. We have season passes so we go every weekend. This weekend it looks like it may just be me and my munchkin. No sibling. I agree it stinks that Sterling does not have more nautical themed acts. But they do have excellent mud beggers.
The faires this year it looks like I will get to are:
Carver MA (maybe? depends on funds, my family lives up there, so a place to stay is the easy part)
Sterling, NY (home faire)
Tuxedo, NY (NYRF)
Maryland for Pirate Weekend
And Penn Renn (hopefully at least once or twice.)
HOPEFULLY, I will at least be able to hook up with some of you at some of these.
