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?

We've found sufficient data to suggest that the 500th day probably won't be until next year, maybe even the year after, so we have time.

Apparently, there are posters from all the RenFest seasons in the Fest's main office, and they probably list the dates.
