Constance, this is a great event...

There is a ball (Friday night), and it is a family festival.

Lots of music, good amount re-enacting, plenty to do. Vendors are fairly varied, although there seemed to be fewer vendors atBlackbeards festival then there was in Key west... But it looks like that is expanding,.,,

It would be awesome to see you and Silas there! And as many of the kids as you culd drag along as well!

There is also a street fair in the downtown area with carnival games and concessions for the kids and usually concerts that are more than just pirate music....so there can be something for everyone in Hampton

...But you can only come if you bring cookies.

(Those were the best breakfast ever, by the way)

Seriously though, last year at Hampton I got a few little accessories for my period sewing kit and a few little accessories just for me (fan, comb, etc)...very nice and very reasonably priced....I enjoyed looking at everything, but at the time was on a rather limited budget....it's a good time no matter what!
