Michigan Renfest 2012
« on: July 18, 2012, 02:15:43 AM »
Where: Holly Mi
When: Sunday August 26th
Time: 12 pm Noon
Weekend: Highland Fling Weekend
Website: http://www.michrenfest.com/

Free parking- Note that the earlier you get there, the closer you will be to the gates.

Hosting the event : Myself and Teann

Suiting is allowed, however make sure you have a spotter (the paths are dirt and woodchips and are quite uneven) also important to stay hydrated!

We will be meeting just outside the faire in the area where the tickets are sold.

I am planning the meet to be more of a wander and do as you wish. However, if groups want to meet up for the joust or for a few of the other shows I'm sure that can be planned as well. I know some people are traveling quite a distance so I can understand wanting to go around and see as much as you can if you have a limited amount of time.

If after the meet people want to grab dinner an aftermeet can be planned.

Make sure to drink plenty of water and wear sunscreen! There is shade, but there is also a lot of sun!

*a sidenote that if people are going to be going Saturday let me know. My plan at the moment is to go both Saturday and Sunday, so I can hang out with people both of the days.

I'll be going. I might suit, but the Ren Fest seems to only have 2 kinds of weather - Rain or Hideously Hot, so we'll see.

I am definitely going!! I need to request the days off but I will not fail. Hopefully I will have my suit done by then, If it's not too hot or rainy I will definitely wear it. I hope to come!!

I planned on being there already, since I go to the RenFest every year. It's pretty much my annual appearance.

Hope the temps cool off for the suiters. It's been rather warm in recent years.

I'm really concerned the heat will be a problem when News keeps repeating this years (avg) temps have been hottest since recorded history!?
  The last week of fest usually coolest but also tends to rain and many furs start saving money Sept, Oct for MFF. So  gotta deal with the heat.
So if you do suit make sure you have a Handler or 2.  Drink lots of water or sport drink or juice. Be aware that cola, energy drinks, beer can actually make you more dehydrated. Hopefully we will be blessed with a sunny mild day :-)

True, it is usually hot. But, lately it seems to have cooled down quite a bit. I trust suiters to have handlers and plenty of water available.

The fest does have quite a few shady spots, so keep that in mind, always know where there is some shade available!

Plus, if you do suit, and do not keep hydrated and cool emts will have no issue cutting through your suit to get to you. They don't bother with figuring out how to work a zipper, because YOU are the priority and not the expensive costume you are wearing. So all the more reason to keep hydrated
