I am getting ready to book the shelter for Bratfest but I wanted to pose a question to the members before I do. I sense that there is a lot less interest in GTGs in general and in Bratfest as there have been no questions posted about it yet.

Before I spend the money to book the shelter, I would like some feedback from members regarding whether they plan to participate this year. It's getting pretty late to book the shelter so I am looking for relatively quick feedback.

For the record, Labor day weekend is September 5th so Bratfest will be held on Sunday, September 6th. Let's hear the opinions and get some interest going!

I would appreciate it if a Moderator could make this topic a sticky.
 
If you hold it we will come - hopefully in something with a freshened motor!
 
Bringing this one back to the top. 282 views and only 2 replies so in my mind this does NOT look too good for a decent turnout. I will be making a decision by Thursday this week so I will try to keep the message up on top so people will see it.
 
Same post as CAC. If there's enough interest, we can make it a three day weekend this year instead of our usual four day weekend. Twiggy is almost out of vacation time and we have a wedding to attend in VA in Oct. Having been to the last 7 of these I'd really like to keep the string alive.

I agree about keeping the string alive, but without additional attendees it will be pretty sad.

I hate to sound selfish, but I can't see dropping about $700 for a weekend trip for a picnic with only 4 couples. 4 tanks of gas and a hotel for 2 nights. If the VA trip didn't surface this year we'd have still done our normal 4 day trip regardless but with Twiggy's vacation almost gone... We still have our other yearly trip to Maggie Valley on the schedule but that is one of those pay in advance deals to save money. No cancelling that one.
 
I guess I'm declaring Bratfest officially cancelled due to a lack of interest.  :cry:

I guess life goes on and people move on to different things.....
 
And this was the first year it didn't happen the same weekend as LS Fest.  :cry:
