So much for ACRF this year.

After last year's great Amana Colonies Renaissance Faire, jmaynard and I were looking for to going to ACRF this year. I wanted to go back and Jay wanted to see it for himself as he had to be elsewhere last year.

We won't be going this year, because there is no there to go to:

Due to the excessive recent rain and more in the forecast, the faire has been cancelled. The site is currently under 6" of water in most areas, and there is no drainage.

Not sure what we'll do with the weekend now.

Sucks, dude. Nothing's worse than a good Faire that gets rained out.

I realize this is not a realistic suggestion due to distance.. but it was my first thought on reading your post.. so I am running with it (or running away after I post it lol)

Come to MIRF this weekend!! Merry Measure is playing... and Jared and I are cruising up to the faire, complete with Princess Breena!! so you could see us!! and get HUGS!!!

ok.. I now leave you to your other business...

While that is unrealistic, there are a couple other possibilities. MnRF is going on and is only two hours away, but it's also not all that appealing to us anymore. There is a new-ish faire in Des Moines that we might try, just to check it out. That the IRF organizer is involved makes us both leery, but evidently he's not the only one running things and the others are trying to moderate his influence and produce a good event. With the wet weather, it's quite possible that neither alternative will work out.
