Every fall, The Dutta Corp. Fair Hill International CCI** and CCI*** events are held in Elkton, Maryland. The event attracts top-level competitors (many of whom were just at Rolex), but the logistics and costs involved make it more easily accessible to fans than Rolex.

I've never been before, but am bound and determined to change that this year (it's only an hour from my house!) - and plan to go at least for cross country on Saturday, October 17.
Hopefully we'll pull together a nice little party from my barn - but the reason I'm posting this here is to get any other bloggers/readers in the region thinking about it too.
Do you plan to go to Fair Hill International, or are you at least considering it?? Let me know!
I go almost every year. I've also been to Rolex, and I have to say, I like Fair Hill better! Its more relaxed. But the shopping sucks - Rolex wins that for sure.
ReplyDeletei've heard both of those things about the events - that fair hill can actually be a lot more enjoyable. and perhaps the crappy shopping situation is a blessing in disguise, since i really don't need any additional help spending money lol
DeleteOh, sure. Just pick the year to attend that I move far, far away from it. Don't mind me, all by myself up here in New York, away from all my lovely Area II events....
ReplyDeleteOk, I'm done hijacking the comments for a pity party. ;)
you'll just have to come down for a visit! seriously tho, now that i actually am planning out a season of events i was considering options like 'where will other bloggers be' but then you had to move away :(
DeleteThat's cool that it is so close to you! I won't be going since it is all the way across the country, but I do have Woodside and Galway several hours away.
ReplyDeletehaha yea it's a bit of a hike for you - but hope you can make it to some events on your coast too :)
DeleteI wish I wasn't so far away! Bucket list thing for sure :)
ReplyDeletedefinitely!! i've never seen anything above prelim in person and really want to!
DeleteAhhh I wish! If only my sister still lived in DC... Still maybe I could convince her to road trip with me and she can visit her friends down there while I go to fair hill!
ReplyDeleteyou should try!!! i mean, it's not really thatttt far :)
DeleteI would love to join you at Fair Hill this year! If that doesn't work out, we can try for Plantation! :)
ReplyDeleteyesssss!!!! we really need to make something work :D
DeleteI go to MD once every few years to visit family. Not sure when my next trip out is but I'll contact you and would LOVE to watch Fair Hill sometime!
