I also had a great time and want to thank Rich and John. We are priviledged to have 3 days every 5 yrs. But it is a lot of work I know. I also believe the hospitality room is redundant and we can use the vacant part of the exhibit room for refreshments as we tend to congregate there anyway. And the atrium is also pleasant for the same purpose. After the banquet we could just continue to occupy that space for a couple more hours. 73's Janice Sent from my Blackberry® on the Videotron Mobile Network

I concur with Ed, a regular three day fest would be great, though I know that would increase the burden on our incredible, intrepid, yet still human Festmeisters. And would be a cost concern for some... I also agree about hospitality. I think it has become redundant as a place to hang out, since the atrium space is a pleasant place to gather in small groups. And even in Kulpsville, hospitality was often empty in recent years...more of a place to grab a beverage and go. On Mar 7, 2012, at 12:05 PM, bernieS wrote: > Excellent 3-day SWLfest, Rich and John!
