Sarah, 



I believe the initial intent was to use the Exhibit Hall exclusively for parts-related vendors and to use the banquet hall Saturday night for the closing banquet/awards ceremony.  It was felt that it would be much easier on everyone if the banquet was held in the Ballroom, rather than try to rush all the vendor's out of the Exhibit Hall and then have the hotel staff rushing around trying to set up the Exhibit Hall for our banquet. 



The reason for the question about the Ballroom is this.  I am in charge of getting non-parts related vendor's and craftspeople to attend the convention to sell their items in order to give those who attend the convention or visitors to it something to look at rather than just Corvair parts related items.  It was thought that if we had the Ballroom for the whole week, then the crafters could set up in there.  But as I mentioned above, the original intent was to host the closing night banquet in the Ballroom.  



We can make other arrangements as to where to put the non-car parts related vendors, but it would be best to try and get the Ballroom for the banquet.

HI Tim, 

I negotiated the sales contract for the hotel and some of your answers are in the contract: 

1.  The Banquet hall was ORIGINALLY in the contract.  However, after everyone went and saw the Olds Club, you all decided you wanted the Exhibit Hall rather then the Grand Ballroom.  I then had to go back and re-negotiate to get the Exhibit Hall which is a lot large then the Grand Ballroom.  Thankfully I was able to do so and we were not charged and will not be charged for the use of the Hall. 

The hotel has been given the Grand Ballroom back to sell to other clients. 

If you want me to go back and ask for the Ballroom now fine I will, however..bear in mind it may not be open at this point and we will probably be charged a large meeting room fee.  It also makes us as a group look VERY unprofessional. 

2.  If we get the Grand Ballroom...we would need to be out of there by 12 noon at the latest so they can prepare the room for our banquet. 

3.  The cost of all 8 foot tables to rent is a one time charge of $10 per table.  This does not include table coverings. 

4.  $10 per day per computer for WiFi in exhibit hall.  Cards can be purchased at front desk. 

Usually no charge for electrical hook up, phone line is a diffeent story.  I'll find out.
