Bad dates. You are selecting the same weekend as the Dayton Hamfest. Not a
good move.

You beat me to the comment - I know _I_ will be at Dayton next time
(since I missed it in 2006). I suspect many folks west of Pittsburgh
will choose Dayton as well.
I don't mind driving (or flying) to NJ for a VCFe, but not that
weekend (and not Memorial Day weekend either).

Why not the end of July or beginning of August, those are usually good
times as most people will have gone away from vacations early in July
for the 4th weekend and most people plan their summer blow-up vacation
at the end of August through Labor Day to wrap up summer. May is
tough, kids still in school, preparing for graduations and such, so many
who have kids/families don't always get to actually enjoy our weekends
as they are already booked for family/catching up from the week, so
mid-summer please....

Because that's when VCF/MW generally is, and I'm sure you don't want to
miss that. ;)

I tried to book our venue tonight for June 16-17, but someone noted that it
is Fathers Day weekend. Also turns out that another group booked our
facility that weekend for an antique car show -- they don't need the
buildings but they are using the whole parking lot!
So ..... how the weekend of May 12-13 ..... can anyone think of any major
conflicts? I wanted to wait longer than two weeks between our event and the
April swap meet in Trenton, but there aren't any other weekends left.
It is not the usual VCF routine to hash this out on cctalk. Hey, we're
accomodating!

PS - everyone who pointed out that the 13th doesn't work better come to our
show if we change the date on your behalf...!!!! :-)
