Me too. I was at those Vair Fairs in Waynesboro, also the one in
Richmond in '83 (along with most of the rest of them). I've passed
on more banquets than I've attended... ;) It MUST be a headache for
the host club to organize and it's never cheap.
If the "official" get-together eat-em-up is a banquet I'm not real
sure I'd attend. If there's a gang hitting a local restaurant en
mass in lieu of the banquet, I'm likely there. A hospitality room
with coffee and donuts and cookies afterwards would work out fine for
BS, trophies, bragging, kiss&cry, and general tall tales.
