The technical/formal/insurance answer is ‘anywhere from Friday night to close ofnSunday’…
Again, that is the technical/formal/insurance answer aimed to help keep the image of GPRF as a family friendly environment… And yes, there are police officers (not security guards) that will be out helping this weekend with the patrons that decide to be less than family friendly.
Got it, thanks.

I’ll need to remember to grab the following for Friday (unless someone wants to bring some of the following)
-tent (we’ll use the 10x20 that was used for Riverfest in the past since the 20x20 might take too much work)
-tables
-water (recommend 1 gallon per person per day)
-cooler
-painter tarp (for flooring, looking at 9x12 from Harbor Freigth)
-business cards
-brochures
-table display pieces
-table covers (may have to find some)
-chairs
Could somebody please point out on the map where to park and where the booth will be? I recall “by the lake,” but…
If you know where the giant pile of dirt is … it is between that and the road.
So go in the zoo blvd/21st street entrance and look on your right for a giant pile of dirt.
I don’t know about any giant pile of dirt. I’ve been to the park a total of one time, last year. 
You’ll park pretty close to where is says RC track.
And sorry, I am running way behind today and probably won’t be up there until 11am
Here’s the tent location:
We haven’t got the tent up yet because we don’t have enough people to raise it. Anyone who can come out to Sedgewick Co. park to help… we would really appreciate it. (We are currently only three me Brad and Rustin)
Thanks to Jai and Ethan and Sarah to the rescue!
We can also post to Facebook if we need help. Message me directly and I’ll get it posted. Pictures would help too.
Some pictures from day one of our award winning ballista!
I just wanted to put out there what a fantastic group of volunteers we had this weekend for the Renaissance Fair! I am very proud to have been a part of such a great group of folks.
Extra congratulations to the crafters of our kick-a** award winning ballista! You all did us proud!
Can’t wait for this fall!
Agreed!
These kind of shenanigans is exactly toe fun stuff the makerspace was made to incubate!
Great job!
It was my daughter’s first ren faire and she really loved it. The ballista was her favorite part - she knew what it was even though I didn’t!
