I'm definitely in for this. I also plan on investing in a new video camera soon, as I'm looking to add the title of "amateur documentary filmmaker" to my already-congested resume. (I'm moving away from doing live streams for meets due to the hassle of internet reception and wanting to keep my phone in functioning order during the event.) I am aware of a documentary that was put together for the 2008 Atlanta meet and using that as a model, I'd like to do something similar for this meet. It'll be a dry run of sorts for something much larger I'd like to do for the New Orleans meet in February. So be prepared for the presence of a one-person film crew.  :-|

Well I guess this means I am pushing Lancaster to November 11th or even December.  I have not heard back on an official Goat Path Opening Date so you win, Laura.

Didn't know that you were looking at hosting a meet in Lancaster. I lived in Landisville for about 10 months in 2000-01. Last time I was in the area was 2018 on my way home from the Shreveport meet. I'd be interested in getting back out that way.

As for the subject meet, I'm also interested in it  :sombrero:

I had started discussions on it within the last week.  I am just waiting on a schedule update from East Lampeter Township before I am ready to announce it.
