Any one here planning on attending?

It’s a large colonial market fair held at a rebuilt French Indian war stone fort. It runs for 4 days- April 25 to 18. Has always been a great place to find all kinds of colonial goods or re-outfit yourself. Good amount of attendees camp at the event. Very nice setting surrounded by mostly undeveloped wooded surroundings.
I haven’t been to it in several years. Several here used to attend. Was wondering if there was any interest.

That's two days before my cruise but I'd love to sneak out of packing to go.

My wife and I antended Ft Fred Market Fair for years. We had a store, Hemlock Hollow Floorcloths. Our store was on the blacktop, just before the fort. We had to give it up due to health reasons. We both dearly miss it. You can furnish your camp or personal kit, from soup to nuts there. It was a juried event, no sneakers, plastic or lighter fluid, but some people would always try to skirt the rules. If you have a opportunity to go, you will NOT be disappointed!

Interest, yes.
Ability, no.

I do hope it's well attended and wish those that go a great time.

Mrs Coot & I will be set up by the fort. Look for the sign of the Blue Cat. If we could only do one event a year, it would be Fort Fred. Sadly several of our friends have aged out.

Will be going Sunday... I grew up in Big Pool, 1/2 mile up the road. Little known fact is you can find arrowheads on the river bottom between Big Pool lake and the Potomac.

Would love to go but it is too far from SW MO. About a two-day drive each way.
Am a little leery of the politics in that part of the country too.

I have never been there. But a friend of mine has and wants to go. We'll be driving up from Virgina about 4 hours Friday spend the night then come home Saturday evening. Looking forward to it.

I’m planning to attend. It’s about three hours away so the wife and I are planning to stay overnight. Does anyone know if dogs are allowed on the premises? I see they aren’t allowed in the fort but was hoping she can walk him around outside while I shop,
