I would love to go but going that far up would be too much of a drive so I would end up getting a room which I am unsure at that time if I would be able to pay for one.


So for me to go I would hope it would be somewhere near seattleish.

I'm sure Kim has a list of some of the places. And a few others have done some checking. Maybe just a general request for each person to PM you their places. Then you could cut and paste them into the first post, here.

Graden city Grange in Snohomish is available on that day from 12:30 till 6:30pm for $150.00 with a $150.00 deposit. we could rent the second floof too for another $150.00. the guy said they had a group of about 200 people coming and going all day. on one floor. I'm waiting on TWO call backs and Kim is waiting on two

 

[RonB]

I just had an idea, I do my best thinking when I'm suppose to be taking my nap

I HAVEN'T ran this by Kim yet

Maybe everyone shound PM or email her and tell her how much they can afford to give towards the rental. If you can't afford to give anything, THATS OK !!!! I repeat If you can't give THAT is OK !!!! we want everyone to come !!!!

Kim would be the ONLY ONE who knew how much people gave. We might come up with a nice little sum and be able to get something more centrally located.

I think part of the problem is that some people want to know where it will be so they can decide if they can come.

Even though I am not sure where they are having it I did send her email to let her know how much I could put in if I was to go. So those who are thinking of may be coming should do the same. That way when the place is picked then they can give a yes or no then. Just my 2 cents

 

[weaveagarden]

Not a bad idea, guys. And I must admit the place isn't stopping me from sending in my money. I just keep forgetting to give it to somebody to post. I think I better just put the money with it in the mailbox to pay for the stamp.

I wonder what kind of response she has gotten so far?

 

[RonB]

The cheap places are the ones in the small out of the way towns. The more we come up with, the better place we could get.

Let's say Chicken Little, PM's Kim and says I can give $25. then she finds out the place we have picked is too far away for her. she can back out. We just have to have some Idea on how much we might collect. no sense looking at a place for $700.00 if we can only come up with $250.00

SO lets see a show of Hands

of those that would come if it was in SNOHOMISH ????


How about a show of Hands of those that WOULD NOT come because it is too far North???

I will keep a running count of YES & No's for say the next TWO days.

The I will ask the SAME question, say using Enumclaw and Puyallup

SO PLEASE SAY YES OR NO ON SNOHOMISH and then we will slowly move it south and see what we get

Thanks

Snohomish is doable. I'm up in Bellingham, so my vote's for as far north a place as possible

I'd like to attend....took a long break from the forum, and came back on just in time. I don't want to miss out on meeting other chicken people!
