Sounds like a fun time, and I'm glad that you did get to see the concert this year. Perhaps if you want to go see a concert in Hershey the same time next year, you might just splurge on a cheap hotel room and go the day before; it seems like you enjoy Hershey enough to find stuff to do, and that way you can set out for the concert at the buttcrack of dawn if need be.
One day, I need to take myself to a real Renaissance Faire. The only one I've ever been to was The World's Dinkiest Ren Faire, and that was because the RSCDS troupe I was dancing with at the time was invited to do a demo. Only the dinkiest of Faires would ever consider inviting the RSCDS, I know that much! RSCDS dance is lovely, but as out of place at a Faire as it would be at halftime at the Super Bowl.
I had to laugh when you said you hated traditional cookout food. I guess that's mostly on account of you being vegetarian, but just yesterday I was telling Mom Pony that, during the short time that I'll be in New England before heading out to Lithuania, I wanted a backyard cookout. Mom Pony cooks a fairly traditional cookout -- burgers, salad, corn on the cob, lemonade, that sort of thing -- but she's the best cook I know, and can really make traditional cookout food into something special. She'd even happily slap a veggie burger on the grill if someone were to request that.
