How I did it: I went to the Finger Lakes Wine Festival in Watkins Glen, New York, from August 17th to the 20th, with my boyfriend and some friends.  We slept in a tent for the weekend.  It was a lot of fun even though it rained a lot of the time we were there. 

Lessons & tips: If it rains, make sure you ALWAYS close the tent when you're not near it.  We forgot once and it started down pouring, so we went into my boyfriend's Jeep, and when we went back to the tent later, it was soaked and so was one of our sleeping bags!  Also, bring warm clothes and extra blankets!

Resources: Well, a tent was helpful...
