I received some texts from CAP yesterday regarding the new site in WV and his interest in having a little get together to celebrate the opening.

The date(s) will be one of the first two weeks in December, depending on when BT finishes the install. It will be a two day event, Friday & Saturday. The site is getting 10 PMs to start with, but I told him to speak to the BT rep about having another 10-15 PMs added for the event, if numbers warrant them.

The "winners" of the event will win WV State Parks vacation prizes. Rooms won't be "free", but rather around $30 bucks a night (still, a pretty good deal). What "winners" means, I don't know. (I teach SpEd, so everyone is a "winner"). Maybe total points over the event, maybe total points for premium games, maybe he'll just give it to me for defying gravity...which I doubt will happen...EGADS!!!

Just a reminder, the place is a ski resort, so depending on the weather, skiing may be an option for folks. There is a trout stream near by, also. The roads are pretty good in the area...by WV standards.

I believe that they serve WV microbrews at the site and I'm sure the food is better fare than a BWW serves.

Also, I have NOTHING to do with this in terms of organization, other than to recommend a two-day event and to get some extra PMs.

This is an opportunity to go to a new BT site, win a prize, get discounted room rates, eat something other than wings, have a new microbrew or two, and see some beautiful country. Hopefully, I'll know more about the PM numbers by Monday or so.

I know that I'll be going, unless something really bad happens between now and then (when is the world supposed to end?). Hope to see some of y'all there, too.

All great news. Let us know when you know the exact date...let us know how to get the discounted rooms, please, too.

Thanks for all your great work setting this up.

Won't be able to do december, but if you all are looking sometime in jan-feb we may be able to make it up. Want to head home to visit, my sister just had another kid.

Wow that sounds awesome even before I got to the part about free rooms. Depending on the dates, we could try and make it down there for that one this year.

Cheers,

The original plan, as I understand it from CAP, was to host a "grand opening" for the new site in the fall.

Well, it's not fall anymore. In fact, we had a Snow Day from school where I teach yesterday and a delay today.

The BT installation didn't move as fast as planned/hoped, but the site is up and running now, as far as I can tell from the BT webpage. Canaan Valley is a ski resort, so I'm guessing this is the start of the peak season there, so I doubt if anything is going to come of this.

CAP called me a little before Xmas and mentioned about getting a "few" folks together in January, but haven't heard anything since. Again, this wasn't my gig; I was just passing down what I had been told.

If I get any new info, I'll pass it on.
