Good evening Rus,

SFNE allowed myself & AJ to go into the park in the brutal cold while they
topped off the ride , I recorded video for it, But Kyle Krogert came up to
me and AJ and had told the news we were Enthusiasts , so the news stations
wanted to interview us if we wanted to, so we did , I also mentioned ACE
that part is in the written part and my interview was shown , well parts .lol

From Paul Blick:
We want to make sure no one misses the \”200 limitation\” policy for the
banquet this year. The average for the past 5 years banquet attendance is 211,
so I don\’t think this will be a problem, but nothing is wrong with giving
it some advanced notice as well. Thanks!
Paul
ACE Annual Banquet
One of the highlights of Coaster Con is our annual banquet. Attendees
enjoy a delicious meal,
an engaging presentation and a keynote speaker. The banquet is a plated,
sit-down dinner that
includes your choice of: chicken teriyaki over rice with stir fry
vegetables and a fried wonton; rib eye steak (cooked medium) with garlic mashed
potatoes and grilled asparagus; or vegetable napoleon and polenta with tomato
coulee and marinated artichokes. The menu also includes bread and rolls,
green salad, caprese salad and a choice of dessert: chocolate cake with
raspberry sauce or fruit tarts. Add the banquet for just $40 per person.
Choose your banquet entrée on the registration form.
Please note: banquet registration is strictly limited to 200 guests; only
the first 200 registrants choosing the banquet option can be accommodated.
Banquet registrations will continue to be accepted past the event
registration deadline of May 22, 2014, until the banquet capacity of 200 is
reached.
KIDS’ PARTY
While parents enjoy the banquet, children ages 3-12 will have a party of
their own, with
special activities and dinner: hamburger sliders, French fries, and ice
cream cups and cookies.
The kids’ party is for children whose parents are attending the convention
and have added the
optional banquet to their registration. Make sure to indicate the number
of children attending the
party on the registration form.
