John A. Spitzer Conference Center — Local services in Elyria

A great facility for hosting seminars, classes, weddings or graduations. It is a beautiful and spacious building with a grand ballroom, a dramatic staircase should you be interested, and an abundance of rooms that serve as classrooms, presentation rooms or seminars.

Nothing wrong with the location & the parking was free, it was just a surprising turnout. They even mentioned it in the Plain Dealer and probably underquoted the number of people...
