<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just my two cents on events, etc. I can
help with things during events</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>such as gate, waterbearing, children's activities,
etc. but setup</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and takedown are difficult for me because I broke
my leg last summer. Also</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>we have the 8 year old girls and there's nothing to
do with them during such</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>times. So discounts would not be an incentive
for us on that until the girls are</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>a little older and can help as well. We are
looking for events that we can </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>get to within 90 miles or less too because of gas
prices and travel time</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>with kids. We don't have carpool space
when we are camping; our van is</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>pretty full. I'm not a light packer and,
again, KIDS. There's a lot of stuff I</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>probably wouldn't bring if I didn't have them to
consider. My priorities are</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>similar to Mistress Stella's on sites.
Electiciy it useful because we have a</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>plug in cooler and medication that is supposed to
be kept refrigerated or</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>cool,and easy access to drinkable water is also
useful. Shade is usually</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>a big priority too; the other stuff not so
much. I'm probably not going</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to use one of those camp showers unless I'm
desperate, but a place</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to wash my face and brush my teeth is always
nice. I know we aren't supposed</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to have cars near our tents but it helped a lot to
have our van behind</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>our tent at Springfaire as a
windbreak!</FONT> <FONT face=Arial size=2> We are more likely to go
to events</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>where there are children's activities or something
that the kids can</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>do if they get bored (like the aquarium at 12th
Night),</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> or where we know that other children
will</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>definitely be there. The 12th Night site was
great but that's the MAX</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would drive for a daytrip and I'd rather
not drive home so far at night. </FONT> </DIV>
