Three weeks ago out of the blue and with no warning we learned the Continental Inn, where we had based The Weekend for nine years had been sold to the Dutch Wonderland and would be closed for nine months for renovations. This of course invalidated our contract and date for our convention. Immediately we began the process of recovery and we were able to quickly find a new location which in many ways offers a bettter deal than we had at the Continental. We have finalized it and are happy to announce that The Weekend will go on with only a slight glitch.

The Rodeway Inn, a small 70 room hotel offers all we need and we can easily fit into its facility. It has a 4800 square foot ballroom giving us ample space just like the Continental had, and the ease of access is almost as good. More than that, we were able to get a room rate of $85 USD a night, which is $25 USD less than we would have had at the Continental this year. The Rodeway Inn and Suites, has been recently renovated and had been "The Lantern Lodge. The rooms are beautiful and each room has a refrigerator and microwave. The hotel has a Restaurant which is only for banquets and events and is not open all the time, but in the same building is their :"Lantern Lounge" Pub which is open from Tuesday to Saturday from 5 to 9 pm.

There is a continental breakfast served free every morning including a waffle maker. We tried to get a full breakfast but it would have been too expensive so we settled on giving you a cut -rate on the room. There are several local eateries where you can get a good breakfast, including the Country Fare Restaurant less than half a mile from the hotel. There is an excellent Italian Restaurant, Tosco's, next to the hotel, a Chinese Restaurant, McDonalds, Hardees, and others. More of this in our next update bulletin.

MOST IMPORTANT! THE HOTEL HAS NO OBJECTION TO OUR MUNCHIE PIT, THE ONLY RULE IS NO OUTSIDE ALCOHOL CAN BE BROUGHT IN.

To get to the hotel is easy. From the Host-Continental, take Route 30 West, then take 501, Lititz Pike North 24 miles to College Ave in Myerstown. It's a little more than half an hour away. You can't miss it. The Myerstown municipal water tank stands like a bloated Martian Fighting Machine from the War of the Worlds, near the traffic light. From the South turn left and from the north turn right at Tosco's Restaurant. The Hotel is next to the Advanced Auto Parts Store.

That's the highlights. I wanted to get this out to you as soon as I could. A full update booklet will be sent out in a week. When you reserve a room be sure to ask for the
The Daisy Weekend Gaming Event.

I marvel at the names they give some of these cons. Why Daisy?

From the Society of Daisy.

Ask Ott when you see him…

But that just begs the question, "Why the Society of Daisy"?

Because that was the name of the hereditary Princess's cow.

No, seriously.

If that's not reason enough, I don't know what is.
