Yes, I did, and it prevented me from going anywhere great after Kalamazoo, but that was amazement enough for a while. Then spring came and a tiny puppy joined the family.
He now weighs 105. Even though he belongs to my son, he spends a lot of time with me.
Then I had to work again, most of July and half of August..
Basically, I never went anywhere until I heard of a trade fair in Highland County VAin September
Fair Lawn Farm is not a period house, but its liberal hospitality is unmatched. Truly shocking how much food came our way. Better than standing in line and retreating back to our own friends or areas, each room and porch had a an extra seat for me. This BAR lady got in with some Continental Line females that all they could talk about was black powder: where to buy, what size loads, the pedigrees of their cannon, etc..
I had always heard about Martin's Station being the end-al/be-all of events, so I went - in October. And was the only vendor there. The reenactor population was light but present and the client traffic was actually fairly good due to a music event next door. I had time for longer discussions. I camped in a national park (Wilderness Road), which I loved enough to make up for everything else. The drive to Ewing VA is interminable, but I can't wait to go back for the spring edition - in other words, when everyone else in the vending world knows to come!
