Just a question to ck, did you get a head count on attendance? It does appear that you learned and adjusted for past problems, very successfully. The few problems you have alluded to are/were accepted by most as we realize we are not in Kansas. Good on you and your organizational group. See you next year.

Our estimate, from tickets sold and collected, was +/- 1600 folks. So a bit less than last year, but we feel it made for a more intimate/enjoyable event for all. Our goal this year was to ease into the activity and try not to be completely overwhelmed. And yes, we did have the benefit and experience of those who went before us to learn from. The VFW was also gracious enough to provide us with all of their insight and experience from the past.

Thank you to both slapout and junglechef for coming out and enjoying the festivities, we are glad all had a good time, including Thai grandma!

There was 1600 hundred people??? Wake up. There was about 600-700 people who turned up. A great group. It was a great afternoon celebrating being from the US. CK did a great job. US Consulate = -0. They even sent out a E Mail saying the event was canceled??? Shame on them. They would not do the American beers or the American sodas.

But the event went well.
