Quote from: vdeane on July 29, 2025, 09:57:55 PMI'm currently planning to make the reservation on Saturday, so if anyone is still on the fence, it would be good to RSVP by then.  Right now we're looking at close to 20.

I will not be able to be there.  I have the Brownfields 2025 Conference in Chicago I'm attending that week.

Looks like we should have good weather as of right now at least.  Temperatures in the low/mid 80s, comfortable humidity, and ABC said the smoke should move out around Wednesday.

Quote from: Rothman on August 03, 2025, 11:31:15 AMI'm a little surprised at hotel prices in the area.  I know it's high tourist season, but...Brattleboro?  Anywhere else to the west or north is understandable for the prices I'm seeing.

...

Of course, we'll probably just stay with my parents the night before, but I wonder if something's going on in the area to drive hotel prices up a bit.
I know we're on the tail end of Covered Bridge Week (and apparently there will be a safari in Brattleboro).  Could that have anything to do with it?

A safari?  "There's another squirrel.  And -- oh! -- a chipmunk!"  Wonder what that's about.

One of the little hotel/convention centers is sold out, but that can't be something big enough to drive up prices.

My parents say it's just due to stupid tourists being duped by Brattleboro's good marketing. :D
