Of course, there were people by the thousands, but the set up is so spread out on winding paths underneath towering Georgia pines, that I hardly noticed a few extra folks besides me and my very tolerant husband! He was wonderful and let me wander to my heart's content in and out of every single vendors tent, while he stood silently by trying to keep track of me. I was like a kid in a candy store, trying to take in all of the wonderful displays, and getting pictures of some great ideas. I was so enthralled with it all that I didn't even notice the "Please don't take pictures" signs up in most of the tents. Husband patiently pointed this out to me :-)).
We have already made plans with Paint Pan Patty and her better half to make the trip together next year and plan to stay overnight. However, on that trip, we will take along our own food and tailgate, because the food prices inside the fair are pretty steep, and water is $3/bottle. The parking lot is located very convenient to the fair itself, and you are welcome to wander in and out all day with the hand stamp you get when you first enter. Other than the food prices, though, I think that admission at $13.00 per person in advance & $16.00 the day of is very reasonable for an event this well done.
All in all, I highly recommend making your own plans to attend the Country Living Fair 2012, if you get the chance. If you love antiques and cottage/country decorating, etc., this is an event you will absolutely love!
