Gian Daro Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Do we have any updates on this one? I'm hearing rain is 80% expected. Link to comment
Kaipurrr Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Technically the faire is open rain or shine. They are still hoping for some troopers. But time travelers is both days so people could go sunday too, This is unofficial, just saying what I know from my faire friends. 1 TK 90577 "Someday humans will leave our cocoon in the solar system to explore beyond our home system, Voyager will have led the way." - Grunsfeld Link to comment
Jimbo Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Sunday is better (for me)...anyone else? The weather is looking good for Sunday. Jimbo ANH Sandtrooper TD-11506 Link to comment
impsrule Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 I will be there Saturday and Sunday same with my brother. Link to comment
Backpacks Got Jets Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 So our troop is scheduled for tomorrow. I know it's a themed weekend but changing to Sunday last minute can potentially cause a lot of problems with troopers or the Faire Unless it's an official change. By the organizer coordinated through our GEC the troop is 10/7 That doesn't prevent you from going the 8th as well or instead but it wouldn't be as a troop it would be as an attendee unless explicitly changed @Lgrad if you can reach out to the ren faire contact for info that'd be best if weather is an immediate concetn 1 Link to comment
Gian Daro Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) Yeah, I'm not wearing Boba Fett in the rain. Did that once at Make a Wish and won't be doing that if I can help it. So I'm most likely out at this point. Will wait til morning to make my final decision. Would be nice to troop with everyone though. Update: Well it doesn't appear that the weather forecasters know what to expect either. So I'll be there with Boba trunk in tow and can make a better decision once there. I really hope we can get a few hours in kit out of this, it sounds like a blast. Edited October 6, 2023 by Gian Daro 2 Link to comment
Buccaneerbrawler Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) The latest report is showing 1/3” over the course of the day, which is a significant improvement from this morning, but you know how New England weather goes. If you don’t like it, give it five minutes. I’ll play it by ear in the morning, but as of now, I plan on reporting to the flight deck (possibly with my clipboard). As much as Friar Utinni would enjoy this venue, it took about a week for my Jawa to fully dry and air out from the last rainy event. Edited October 6, 2023 by Buccaneerbrawler 1 Link to comment

Gian Daro Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 So what time are we shooting for to be on site in the morning? 9? 9:30? 8:30? Is there a particular gate we're supposed to go to or is it all a single entry? Yeah, never been there lol 1 Link to comment
Kaipurrr Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) Me and Rich are here. It's sprinkling but not bad. They are just having parking in the main parking. We will be in our TKs Also the parking lot is muddy, be careful not to get stuck. Also Branden who is friends with the faire owners told them we may have members coming both days this weekend and they are okay with it. So troopers will be welcome Sunday too.
