[bars] NEARFEST TICKETS APRIL 25-26 2024

[nkaraway]

Thanks Geoff! The Nearfest committee spent an enormous amount of effort and angst to be able to provide for this spring's gathering, at all.  With the expectation that they will be back to the normal schedule in the fall.Sent from my Galaxy

Juan, 

I wonder if you are aware of the reasons for this scheduling.   Do you know the options that they have? Did you think of the problem that begat this solution?




"Pander to retirees" was not the reason.     Not even close.  




Now that you have offered that absurd speculation, go find out the reasons, the problems they had to solve and share that here so we know you actually did what you should have done before.  Hopefully you will learn something from this. What was your input last
 time regarding Near Fest?  Do you remember?

I agree. There is no way I am taking time off from work for this. Total waste of time to pander to retirees with nothing better to do.

Time to find a new location for Nearfest.  For some time now I have felt that we were tolerated but unwelcome by the Fair Board.

Hello BARS!


I was at HRO Today and learned they have tickets for Spring NEARFEST, Thursday 4/25 and Filriday 4/26.


Admission: $10.00
Parking:       $10.00
Camping:     $30.00
Tent:             $30.00




Mr Mike is sorry we could not have Saturday this time around, scheduling at Fairgrounds was iffy, however, Deerfield said we could add Thursday.  So Be it!


I am to understand BARS will be doing a Test Session on Friday, 10am to Noon.


We must depart by 3pm on Friday Afternoon.

Bill Poulin, WZ1L 


We will be doing Friday and Saturday in October.
