First Timer?

​You will need to plan for your own lodging and food.  On Saturday, we do offer a BBQ chicken or vegetarian meal which you will need to pre-order when registering. The deadline for ordering a Saturday evening meal is May 26th. We are working to secure a vendor to sell a simple lunch on Saturday. Learn more about logistics on the Event Details page.
