Anyone going? Anyone been in the past? This appears to be a small one (admission is only $5.00), but having never been before, I'm not sure how small or how worth the trip it actually is.

First four weekends are at Lake Anna Winery. Final weekend is in Salem, VA.

Some of the crew went down last year and we met up with Stinky and Paisley. We had fun, but it is a very small soft site. The crew will be going back again for one of the Lake Anna dates - I just need to pick one.

Best suggetion is go with a group.

Aye, tis a small faire to be sure. And even though we must have picked the hottest days to go last year, the green grass of the Lake Anna site was a far cry better than the ankle deep mud of some of their previous sites.

The year before last, they had a great Queen Elizabeth and a wonderful crazy lady character that ironically played Queen Elizabeth last year.

Anyway Paisley was the only one of us smart enough to have brown bagged it, they lacked good fooding stalls. And while Pyrate Molly took our wee ones around in search of treasure and trinkets, Paisley, Duncan and meself hung out in the shade of the libation tent.

In any case I know we're planning on attending again this year.

I think we be going to at least one day opening weekend, May 21 or 24, and another day closing weekend, June 18 or 19. We also plan to attend the the Hampton Blackbeard Festival, June 4 and 5. If we spread out our excursions to these three weekends, we can have a week of financial breather space between happenings.

:D
