Where would this be held?

 

[Ed Hahn]

Tri-Cities as previously I would assume Michael. I got a email on this also. It should be a good time.

 

[Ed Hahn]

Bob Fenner has confirmed he will be there!

 

[Ed Hahn]

Hello,
I would like to get tickets and a poster to promote this event at least 90 days prior. I think it would be great to see 30-40 attendees from the Spokane/ Coeur d'Alene area!

Best regards,
Kevin

Reed and Dang,
I hope you make it over.

Reed,
I think you are beating the heat wave with set time this year.

[Ed Hahn]

Just keep us posted on places to stay, dates, and (at least in my case) what the spouse and child can do. Also, if there are any dog friendly places to stay over there that would make my case much easier.

 

[tamarindthai]

any Hotel info close to the meet,,that 's will be great

 

[Michael7979]

Yeah lots of updates with lots of information would be great!

 

[Ed Hahn]

Is it worth it to have even another Guest speaker?

A possibility of another guest speaker is rumored. But the thought is how people would react to another big name coming to event? It would probably cost more to provide travel for guest speaker. So Ticket price would be more.

How many would be willing to see another guest speaker? There two larger guest speakers as on now. Kevin Pockell sponsors this event. Thank you again Kevin! I would assume he will be there. So how would people feel about even another expert coming in? There is a possibility of this happening. If you are planning on coming to this event please give us your input? That way MCMAC board can prepare in advance.

thank you in advance,
Ed

Ed,

I guess my input would be....I need to know the pricing before i give input. If you are going from $50 to $60....no worries....going from $130 to $160 I might think a little more. Times are tight in the economy and, at least for me, this hobby is a luxury not a necessity.

 

[Ed Hahn]

I just pmed ya Reed with what I heard. I hope that helps.

If People want to email me I will try to give as much information as I can about event with out making mistakes.

Hello,
I may be able to add a couple of speakers without additional cost if interested.

Of course I will be there, I heard there will be a keg of hefeweizen and lots of lemons (and great company of course!)

Cheers,
Kevin

Is any information available yet about a tentative itinerary and, even more importantly, to me anyway, pricing?
