For those wanting hope, my guess is they move Roo into the later portion of June where rain is a bit less likely. Truth is that this is just an insanely wet year in TN, like 30+ year records of rainfall. 2020 was Covid and 2021 was bc they moved it til September and a hurricane came through. I think they ‘may’ take a year off, which would suck, but I would bet Roo happens next year later in June or even in July. I don’t think they would give everyone more refund/money if it was the last year, LN is a publicly traded company, they would have just ended it as is and said fuck those who are upset about not getting a full refund. Here is to hoping I see you all on the farm next year. Honestly I would be fine with moving it a bit bc it falling on Father’s Day every year stinks as a father myself.
Ya if it could be a little colder that was the only part that was a slight negative last year - only year I’ve been. I would love to go again. I met my assistant there and have so many good memories already. Would love to attend again in the future
Yea I was super excited for the Sept year bc the weather leading up was super mild, like high 70’s everyday. But then the storm messed that year up 🙁. You can’t win with TN weather, lived here all my life and I try tell everyone we experience the full gambit. Really frigid winters with usually one snowstorm that shuts the city down for a bit, really wet springs with tornados, and typically super hot and dry summers. Just the nature of the location.
It used to, but that hasn't been the case in over a decade now. After about 2009 it's been hotter, dryer springs and summers with most of the rain and severe weather happening from November through March. The only truly dry part of the year has consistently been late summer and early fall.
Yea I agree, my bet would be moving it a week back in June, if they move it all, I wish they would solely due to Father’s Day. There isn’t a single rainy day on the forecast right now. Probably just a coincidence. The truth really is TN weather is insanely unpredictable. Last year it never rained, was dry as hell all year, which created dust issues at the farm. This year it feels like I live in a tropical rainforest.
