You are wonderful. Your positive attitude sets the tone for the entire weekend. I truly appreciate your acceptance of everyone as they come.

Had a great time as always. My fourth time attending... ...I brought a friend for the first time and she loved it too.

"

This was so much fun Amy. The people were nice, the location was beautiful, the accommodations and food were surprisingly good - typically mass food production is just okay. Me, my sister and my mom loved every minute of it. Can't wait for next year.

we're full! but don't despair...
