Thank you to the Board of Directors and volunteers!

Yes, thanks everyone, it was really a great event! It was really amazing..... great speakers, great sponsors, great turnout, wonderful volunteers, lots of coral; awesome event /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/biggrin.gif

 

Since this was my first event I can't compare it to any other like it.  But I was very impressed with every single aspect.  The planning, the crowd, the vendors, their set ups and items for sale, the raffle prizes.  Congrats to Jason and Jeremy for their winnings.  I can't believe all the water was taken.  I saw the pallets Friday night and couldn't imagine that it'd all be gone.
I know there was some doubt about having the fest at a place as big as the Isle of Capri, but now all doubts are vanquished next year I think will be better once the word gets out that about this past weekend.
Now there's a spring fest right?

 

I HOPE SO!

 

The BOD did great! A much better turnout then I ever expected! I was so busy checking out all the vendors that I missed most of the speakers, so I hope we can get the videos on the website.

 

No, there won't be a "Spring Fest" for a couple of reasons.
1) I don't think the BOD can plan 2 events like this a year and still run the club.
2) Rockford has there big event in the spring, so there is really not a need.
We will probably have a smaller frag swap with raffle this spring in the Des Moines area provided that the Des Moines trustee wants to do that.

alright, I saw some fliers for last years spring show at the Blank Park Zoo and didn't know if that was a regular thing or not.

 

A big ole thank you to all that helped plan,setup,work the booths and pass out info. A very friendly event. I met lots of good people.

 

If I actually become the Des Moines trustee I would be thrilled to head up an event in Des Moines. I am happy that Fall Fest went well. I am very sorry I was not able to attend and help more.
Did the projector work out OK?
