Convention location free, open to public. This yearly, JW organized, Bible based, 3 day educational program is top notch! Audio and video presentations appeal to a large audience that all in the family will enjoy. Parking for HC and elderly or infirm with a drop off at the door & Floor Seating for WC and special needs. There are Attendants that will direct traffic in the parking lot and inside to help you find seats. This facility & the restrooms were cleaned in advance and kept clean by the many volunteers.

Make your prices more reasonable to attract more people. Thus, more turnout means more profit for you and the performers. A good showing means the likelihood that these performers return is higher and the better chances of other performers being...

One hiccup with power for us and fairgrounds staff got on it immediately. Newmar Kountry Klub convention used many of the buildings and our personal view was that the staff worked hard to meet our needs. Well done. Lots to do in the area, from rafting, to Pike's peak cog train, Flyin W ranch, and Garden of the Gods. We golfed also. 21 Steak was...
