do....any advice out there? Thanks!

I haven't been to this festival but it looks really great - I'm going
to Sheep and wool in Maryland in May. Wear really comfortable clothes
and shoes; dress in layers; bring a large empty tote bag for
purchases; when you see something you like, buy it, you won't remember
where you saw it to go back and get it later (or it will be sold out -
at least this is my experience); consider going back to your car to
dump your purchases and jacket if necessary; sunscreen for the
nose/face; shady hat or visor (all these may change if it's cold and
rainy of course.) Fully charged cel phone to find the rest of your
party; bottle of water.

For Maryland Sheep and Wool, you may want a bag with wheels.
There's enough paving to make it usable once you get in from
the parking area.

And speaking of the parking area: when you park your car, look
around from the diretion of the festival so you can tell where
the car is! I advise counting telephone poles for landmarks.

when you see something you like, buy it, you won't remember
where you saw it to go back and get it later (or it will be sold out -
at least this is my experience); consider going back to your car to
dump your purchases and jacket if necessary; sunscreen for the

And a sandwich, unless you want to try to buy food there. There
is food, but there are also lines.
