Any news, is it open, closed, what? I heard that they had fires in the Magnolia area and the Renfest was shut. --------------------------- Texas can exist without the United States, but the United States, cannot, except at great peril, exist without Texas. Sam Houston. |

Read on one of the local news sites that it's shut down until further notice. All the prep activites that would normally be going on right now have been pushed back. --------------------------- My Flickr Canon 60D - 65mm MP-E + MR-14EX Nikon D7000 - 1.4x TC APO EX + 150 2.8 HSM EX + Nikon R1 |

Their facebook page is giving a lot of fire updates, but mentions no closures. Lots of info for donating cloths and goods.

From their facebook page: "TRF grounds are still safe! Again, we have been untouched by this fire to date and are beyond grateful for that! We are planning to open on October 8 as usual so please keep the faith, do a rain dance or two and keep the crews working on this fire in your thoughts and prayers this weekend." Looks like a lot of the firefighters are using the grounds as a staging area too. I'm hoping they will open and everything will be fine. Never been, and I bought a groupon to go this year. Was hoping for some interesting photos! Of course, the best solution would be some rain and the end to the fires. Too many homes and lives have been destroyed already. Apparently (according to TRF facebook page as well) the president has finally decided that the fires are a national disaster. --------------------------- You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline.
