    I remember it well!
    That was one of two particularly wet weekends.
    It varies a lot.
    I think it was last year that it was so dry they put a fire ban on us.
    We still had a great time but let's hope for something in the middle
    I too will something make and joy in it's making

    Here is the latest from Head Ranger Marceia Holland...

    "The festival is officially cancelled for 2020. I looked over the thread & everything that applies to us looks right. If the governor winds up closing the state back down, the number of people allowed in a group may change. If we only drop back down to phase 2, that number will be 50 people, so I’m assuming you’d still be fine. If we drop back down to phase 1, then the maximum number would be 10 and the group site would be closed down at that point. I’ll do my best to let you know if we get back to that point."

    I think everyone knew it was likely that there would be little if anything of the Fall Festival this year.
    But as long as Virginia stays in phase 2 and does not revert back to phase 1, our group can still have a grand weekend along with a raffle that will help a little with the loss of fundraising for Rugby Fire and Rescue.
    It's a beautiful place to be!

    Marceia did express a concern that starting in person school could led to an increase in positives.
    Let's just plan on a good weekend and hope for the best!
