Tom, that sounds terrific!!! By setting the dates early you give everyone a chance to plan. The location, and a larger market offer the opportunity for more attendees and spectators. With plenty of time to get the word out thru advertising and word of mouth it should be a big success. Personally, I think a larger attendance of both members and public doesn't have to lessen the intimacy, but should really enhance the event. Thanks and congrats. Mike
