I usually go once a year. Hard to tell when my schedule will be open for it though. Usually it's a "honey let's take the kids to the rennfest today" kind of thing

I like munching into one of those big ol legs of turkey or something that they have there, but they put too much salt on em...

What's the entry fee?

I'm all for it. Those turkey legs are great! I also like the craftsmen/women there, you can get a lot of great information from them on working with metals, leather, or even bees wax.

I always get a turkey leg. Another personal favorite is the beef stew in a bread bowl.

I'd like to vote for October 15th or 16th. By then the leaves should be changing colors too (based on the fact that the leaves at my house are already changing colors... although way earlier than normal).

Nope but then again I go to this thing like randomly once every few years... I just remember the last 2 times I went, it was hot outside... and that kinda takes the fun out of the whole thing.
