So, a few weeks ago, I posted a little tidbit about getting folks together to go to the NC State Fair. This was before we realized that the proposed weekend also was the date for The Cooking Show in Raleigh (where Alton Brown will be giving two cooking demonstrations). So here’s the plan:
Friday, October 17: Folks assemble at our place in Apex, NC. Hanging out, fun, etc. etc.
Saturday, October 18: The Cooking Show in the afternoon, then adjourn to the State Fair thereafter. If anyone is not interested in attending The Cooking Show, we can also make plans to meet up with them afterwards. If we order tickets in advance, it’s $15 for The Cooking Show and $5 to get into the fair.
Sunday, October 19: Relax, have a nice breakfast, and chill out until folks have to head home (or do whatever sounds fun to people – we’re easy)
So – perro, zenwolph, pandaguy, you’re all welcome, as well as anyone else who sees this (Perro, you mentioned Tervicz?). Just let us know!
I am definately interested. But unless the truck is fixed, I’d have to catch a ride from someone else.
Fully understandable. Zen mentioned he was interested in coming down – if your truck could make it as far as Richmond, maybe there’s some possibilities there?
*snorts*
The Carolinafurs are supposed to do the Renfair that weekend….and with me being in Charlotte I’m kinda expected to help round up the kiddies….(between you, me, and whoever else is reading this….I’d much rather go to the State Fair)
So unless that falls through I probably won’t be able to make it :/
Yeah, I just noticed the conflict a couple of days ago, but I wasn’t sure if you were involved in that or not. I don’t envy you the task of herding the cats, but if your plans change, just let us know!
Hrrm. Will tickets for The Cooking Show be available at the door? Though I am still The Boy Who Cannot Plan, I’d like to check the discount fares that come up next week for that weekend to see if there’s any chance I can fly out there. I’d like to ask Alton if he and B.A. are back on good terms, unless you think that might be a sore spot with him…
Yep, tickets for The Cooking Show are $20 at the door. Not sure when they stop online sales. I note they mention a $5 off coupon on their website (probably will run in the paper the day before, or something like that) so there’s that possibility as well.
We’d love to see ya, of course!
Grump
Tried to get the time off with the evil chicken and they said no dice.
Boy, that’s sort of a bad weekend for me. I’m supposed to be getting my hair done. JUST KIDDING! :o)
Sounds good to me. Unless there is something that I’m not aware of, surely there are plenty of those, I’d love to come down.
What all do I need to do before that weekend? Is there a way of getting state fair tickets at a discount rate online? And what’s with this cookin’ thing? (You know that I don’t miss too many meals. *snicker*)
-> (or do whatever sounds fun to people – we’re easy)
Oh Really? *wink*
I’ll tell you what, we’ll make a trade. You give me your new address, and Todd and I will show up!
See how easy it is to do business with me? 😉
