CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 F&W was so much fun last year! Wish we could go back this year, but I'm doubtful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Well to be honest, they have actually moved it waaaaay earlier the last few years. I remember back in 1999ish timeframe we were there the week before Thanksgiving and the F&W Festival was still going on. It didn't start till mid-October back then. I'm guessing starting 8 or 9 years ago, they creeped the schedule forward to it's current timeframe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
