Hi Donna - We are having a virtual SWL fest in 2021. Details are at the fest website, swlfest.com.
We will be using the zoom platform and the first will be entirely online. Registration is also exclusively online through PayPal, again with details at the fest website. Cost is five dollars to cover the cost of the zoom professional grade hosting package we will need. The zoom software is available for all major computing platforms as well as tablets and smart phones. It’s a lot easier to manage reservations when they come in electronically, that’s why we decided to do it this way for 2021. Sessions will be Friday afternoon and evening, and Saturday afternoon and evening on the 26th and 27th of February. Presuming the COVID-19 issues are resolved by then, we will return to a normal, in person fest for 2022.
