LadyBarbossa Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it. Will check more on it though.

Red Bess Posted June 15, 2009 Posted June 15, 2009 Mississippi River Museum I found it here. Not sure if we will be able to make it, but it looks interesting. Ladies in Scarlet: Piratical Art and Accessories

Merrydeath Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 camping is by permission only, you have to ask the event organizer to stay on grounds. Also, to get into the event you have to be on the invite list or pay to get in.. you cant just go and get into the bash and museum. The grounds and tents are locked up at night then opened 8 in the am.. it sounds like a nice family fest; no vendors yet, they wanted to see what they could do with simply first. if you can make it, SeaRover and Bess, let me know and I can see about adding you to the invites... plenty of hotels there or just a few miles down the road on Dodge.

Calico Krys Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 I shall be there as well... with my bells on -- literally! Won't be able to stay long on Sunday being as it is Father's Day.
Calico Krys Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 I just called and spoke to Jan who is in charge of the event. She asks that any coming to "stroll" the grounds contact her ahead of time and she will arrange for badges so you do not have to pay the admission to get in. I asked about "non-period" tents and she has granted me permission to bring mine as long as I am willing to take it down during the public hours which is not a problem for me. She did mention no alcohol is permitted on the grounds at all and also suggested bringing chairs if you can planning to camp as it is a beautiful facility. Looking forward to the weekend!
Merrydeath Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 looking forward to seeing you too, Krys.. Dubuque is special to me and one of the prettiest cities in Iowa and the oldest.. I will have my tent there too, and maybe room for you if things turn busy and your tent doesn't work.. I will try to be there last Friday and will need help with my center pole.. I am doing the Relay for Life friday night, 1 year anniversary that Friday. (woohoo) I would suggest you bring a smallish cooler and your own water. There are porta potties but not much else in the locked area. Merrydeath, one of the Unholy Three female pirates at Dubuque River Museum fest Pirate Lass with sass, brass, a cutlass, an a nice *ss.

Calico Krys Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Merrydeath, one of the Unholy Three female pirates at Dubuque River Museum fest Sounds scary!
LadyBarbossa Posted June 18, 2009 Author Posted June 18, 2009 LMAO! Oh, God! Sounds like the 3 Fates. Spooky indeed. Finalizing stuff. And nitpicking through stuff to bring. Amazing, half the stuff I'd bring will be left at home... cause that half is all cooking related! LMAO... spooky, aye? Looking forward to seeing TJ again and especially FINALLY getting to meet his loverly Wifey. :) ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

LadyBarbossa Posted March 24, 2010 Author Posted March 24, 2010 Relayin' th' message here.... MerryD spoke with Jan (lass in charge at the River Museum)... there will be NO Pirate Festival in Dubuque this year. Tis a pity. Perhaps next year. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"
