Notes from your Missive Maven:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few more quick notes before opening:
Thanks
so much to our wonderful crew
for designing, building, plumbing, lighting, amplifying and decorating
our beautiful London! Thanks to the entertainment groups who
build
fabulous environmental areas, and the vendors who create shops and
stalls with great attention to lovely design and detail. Thanks to all
the performers who have worked so hard on their great shows and street
gigs. Thanks to the Pattersons, without whom none of this would happen.
We can all be very proud of the Fair we have created together!
Remember, the lights go out (and the colored lights go on) at 10:35am.
At
this point, we are a "show time" venue, and you must be dressed and
prepared
for the guests.
Remember
to tip your bartenders, be nice to the security guards and have your
passes ready.
Have a great Thanksgiving and a great opening weekend!
Please
read all the information carefully and save and/or print it for further
reference.
Please remember to contact the folks referenced in each notice, rather
than hitting "reply".

Thanks and see you Saturday morning!
