My heart wells in excitment as the chance to win entry to where my heart lives.

Tenderly smiling softly as I ponder the sights an smells of home. I must ask before I begin this long an wonderful journey.

The Pictures of which can be posted within my comments must they be of home or of things still special to ones heart.

I ask as I do not have 1,000 pictures to send an wish to obey the rules of the game.
I wish all who have entered great journeys as I hope to meet you once I have rejoined my soul at TRF.

The pictures need to be of the renaissance theme and can not be more then 50% of the posts.

LOL!

First. That is just about impossible. I have a large forum in another place. No one posts 1000 messages in such a short space of time.

Second. Isn't the fair is over before Thanksgiving?

Kind of think I could be just a bit disappointed showing up with my 'tickets' the Friday after Thanksgiving.

Appreciate the offer, though.

The festival ends the week AFTER Thanksgiving and is open the Friday after Thanksgiving, which is what these tickets are for.

As far as posts, if we get closer to that time and no one has gotten that high then I may change it but the other two contests have spurred some people to be very active in the forums (and thank you very much to those people who have!).

With Rapier Half-Wit getting over 500 post within the last two months, there is the chance that someone will get to 1000 post withint the next month.

As an example, if Ottheinrich posts 300 more post and 500 pictures of the festival in the photo gallery he could have the tickets.

This contest was to spur on the photo gallery. 500 message posts can, and has, be done within the timeframe that the contest was posted. Uploading 500 pictures, although time cosuming, could be done. I alone have 1000's of TRF related pictures.

But, again, if Thanksgiving gets closer and no one appears close to reaching the goal, I may change it or cancel it.

Sorry everyone. As today is Friday and I slipped up on changing this contest last weekend, it is closed with no winner.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and are enjoying the festival today.
