> Gentle Lady, WHERE is this Holiday Faire?  I'm afraid that 'PW
> Fairgrounds' is rather vague.

Stierbach's Holiday Faire, bring your lucre and exchange it for loot, at
the Prince William County Fairgrounds just south of Manassas VA, on
Saturday the 23rd of November.

Directions by SCA group...

SUDENTUR AND POINTS SOUTH: take I-95 (in Va.) to exit 152-B; get on 234
North. Stay on this road for about 12 miles; you will go down a hill,
across the Occoquan River (though the bridge looks more like an overpass
these days) and then back up the hill. At the top of the hill there are
two lights in rapid succession, turn right at the SECOND light onto
Business 234 a/k/a Dumfries Road, and follow from *** below.

WESTERN STIERBACH: take I-66 (in Va.) to exit 44; get on 234 South,
a/k/a 234 Bypass, a/k/a Prince William Parkway (at this point). Stay on
234 for many miles, past Route 28. A few miles after Route 28 you will
encounter a light for 234 Business a.k.a Dumfries Road; turn LEFT at this
light and follow from *** below.

ISENFIR: take US 29 up to Gainesville, get on I-66 East and almost
immediately get off (Exit 44, route 234 South), see the "Western
Stierbach" directions above.

HIGHLAND FOORDE: take US 15 south into Virginia to Haymarket. Get on I-66
East, go about 4 miles, and get off at exit 44, see "Western Stierbach"
above.

SYLVAN GLEN: take US 340 north to US 15 south, or take your best route to
VA route 7 east and get on US 15 south at Leesburg, then see "Highland
Foorde" above.

BRIGHT HILLS, SOUTHERN EASTREALM: to avoid the Beltway get on I-70 west of
Baltimore and head to Frederick, then get on US 15 South there and follow
the Highland Foorde directions.

PONTE ALTO, STORVIK, DUN CARRAIG, SPIAGGIA LEVANTINA: take your best route
to the Capital Beltway's interchange with I-66 (it's Beltway exit 49).
Thence take I-66 west about 20 miles, PAST the "Business 234" exit (I'm
playing to avoid traffic here) and get off at exit 44 onto route 234 south
a/k/a 234 Bypass, a/k/a Prince William Parkway (at this point). Stay on
234 for many miles, past Route 28. A few miles after Route 28 you will
encounter a light for 234 Business a.k.a Dumfries Road; turn LEFT at this
light and follow from *** below.


*** Okay, you have just turned onto Biz-234 north. Now go for about a
miles and a half and the Fairgrounds will be on your left, behind the
Armory. As you enter the fairgrounds, parking will be on your RIGHT. The
site itself will be the big building on the left, after the farmhouse
(fair HQ), through the gap in the fence. Merchants can drive that way and
unload vehicles before moving them back to the parking lot.
