[Moo] Atlantian 30th Celebration - Information

[Aimee Kratts]

I didn't know that we'd won the bid. That's fantastic!

 

I'm wondering two things:

 

1. What kind of attendance are we estimating? 

 

2. Is it the kind of event that we can have classes at?

Greetings to the Barony and her Cantons!
 
I wanted to send out a local message to you regarding recent activities concerning Stierbach's event for 2011.
 
In case you haven't heard, Stierbach won the bid to host Atlantia's 30th birthday celebration.  The date is set for Labor Day, September 2-5 2011.  Our initial site was to be the Virginia State Fairgrounds, just north of King's Dominion.  For various reasons, this site appears to no longer be viable.  This past Friday, I had a site walk-through at "James Madison's Montpelier" with my wife and Their Excellencies.  The visit went well, and this seems to be a wonderful alternate location.  I am expecting a contract to be sent to me before the next Barony meeting.
 
The point of this message is to lay out the potential changes to the event, and give you an opportunity to comment.  Any constructive comments are welcome on the lists.  Any destructive or inappropriate comments can be sent to me directly, I'm willing to entertain any suggestions.
 

 
Cons - 
Primitive Site
No hall
Limited water
Limited electricity
Port-a-Potty rental required
Large tent rental required
 
Pros - 
Discretely Wet
Equestrian allowed
Pets allowed
Pretty
Inexpensive ($1,500 for the weekend)
No required vendors or buyouts
 
 

A link to the site is here:

As far as I'm concerned, the pros well out number the cons.  Even after adding in the required rentals, the overall cost for the site should be less than before.
 
 
Please note that the site change has not been formally approved by anyone, as of yet.  Your comments may have a significant impact on that approval process.
 
 
 
In service,

Siegfried McClure

Autocrat for Atlantia's 30th Anniversary Celebration
