So long October faire, again.

I had been informed last night that the rumor was that the Nishna River RenFaire was no more. Today I went looking for the Nishna topic on At The Faire's web board and didn't find it in the usual place. Now it's in the the defunct listings.

Well, that frees up a weekend in October, I guess. But it's a weekend I won't be seeing many folks I know - it would have been the only time I'd have seen RST[1] this year. Nishna was a nice way to wrap up a faire season.

Nishna isn't the first October faire in Iowa that has ended. There was also Wybreg, which was fun though it looked small at first.

Now, what will I do with October? Rest, I suppose.

[1] Last night I was looking through things I had set aside for my trip to Huntsville. I found a small alarm clock that I had somehow managed to miss. I had thought there was one more before I went and got the last one. Oh well. Now I also have my own alarm clock for motel stays.

Isn't the Midwest big on Oktoberfests?

A quiet October..I'm sorry :(

That tends to decrease as one gets further away from Wisconsin, I think. I have heard of one Oktoberfest style event that takes place in an earlier month - it's warmer then.

'know what though?

You could always drive another hour and a half and come to KCRF. *shrug* It's going in October. That... or you could come to KCRF in the first three weekends of September and see it AND RST. *grin*

Always a thought.

MNRF (and IRF one weekend) is going on in September, so visiting KCRF then is unlikely. It's also a MAF show like MNRF, with what that suggests to me - that it's overall not as much fun as the smaller faires. The main thing MNRF has is relative proximity and that jmaynard and I know a few folks there now. (Not to slight RST, mind you.)

But, what would, or should, we see there if we do decide to go?
