Andrea - I intend to get as close to the front as I can. You can trample the crowds with me.
LOL Amy!
We'll have to exchange cell #s before next Friday. 
Can someone tell me where the Comcast Arena is in relation to the Avenue of the States? Since we will be eating an early dinner and watching at least part of the parade in that area I was wondering how far away the venue is cuz I will get in line or check in with you and have DH bring my girls in later on after most of us have settled into seats (telling him via phone where I landed 
)
I did not find a Fairground map on the website.
What time does the show start? 7:30??? 8:00???
Are people bringing blankets for the lawn just in case the seats/bleachers fill up fast?
The show is at 8. The mods have set some plans for the day and will start new threads once things are firmed up.
Andrea - PM me your cell # when you get a chance and I'll send you mine.

the Comcast arena is off the south end of the Avenue of States
and here's the link to the map of the grounds - it's kind of hidden in a drop down from the Area Info tab -
http://www.thebige.com/area_map_of_grounds.html
it's a PDF file - if you don't already have the Adobe program needed to open it there is a link to a free download -
used it to upgrade mine to the newer version
I'm coming to this fair with Lori. I had a hard time finding this thread until Amy posted it at the Boogie. Thanks Amy!
You're welcome Diane! It will be nice to see you again!
Thanks Linda....I found the map and printed it up.
There is a draft horse show that day and my daughter who is severely allergic to horses but loves them to death and plays very realistic horse show / horse jumping computer games all the time wants some horse action.....we will be spending some time in the horse ring!
Got to bring the Benadryl just in case!
Less than 2 weeks away!!!!
You're welcome Andrea - don't know why they put it with the off-site area stuff - I only found it by accident when checking out their directions info

yayyy ! Diane and Lori 
Those earliest in line will have lots of time to chat up the security
or employees guarding the gates-maybe we should bring some
bribes and goodies
I sure hope they are friendlier than the security personnel at the Music Circus in Cohasset!
