From the anniversay book to help start things rolling:
1984: 6 weekends, Sept 1 – Oct 7, Attendance 144,000. King & Queen: David Archer & Mary Margaret Lee as King Henry VIII & Queen Anne Boleyn. New front gate!
1985: 6 weekends, Aug 31 – Oct 6, Attendance 110,000 (record Oct 6: 20,737) . First rainout on Sept 28 & 29. Extra weekend of Oct 12 & 13 added. Marcopolo/marketplace/globe now the Pied Merlin Pub. King & Queen: ditto. Da Vinci Crane. Lion’s Castle replace Lion’s theater. John Killip’s Carrousel. Fresh bread at the bake house. New Riders of the Golden Age!
A quick note about the book: I am using it as jump-start for some of my memories. It has a lot of errors which these LJ posts are really helping to sort out. I am very happy to have the book however. Carol K., the woman who put it together, did so with hot and cold support from the office. I am surprised she didn't chuck in the towel early on but she persisted and, flawed as it is, I think we are very lucky to have this collection. And it will be all the better for the LJ augmentations :).
