When was/will be the 500th day of MDRF?

I did a bit of estimating recently, and it's quite possible that sometime this season was/will be the 500th day of the Maryland Ren Fest. However, I don't have the resources to actually count the days.

I made lots of grand assumptions with no basis in reality, but they seem reasonable. For example, I assumed that the first three years were for 7 days each (including labor day), and during the next several years expanded to 5 or 6 weekends (11 or 13 days each season). I assumed 8 weekends once the fest moved to Crownsville, and 9 weekends starting about 12 or 13 years ago.

Does anybody have hard numbers?

There are a few who have been there at least as long as I have (including the Entertainment Director). And I suspect that Maggoty Mullet (the Fishmonger) has more days since she retired a couple of years ago but had done the whole run up to that point).
