Perry Convention - timing

[corray]

Suggestion: He we ever considered holding the Perry International Convention the last week of March or first week of April? There are thousands of FMCA members wintering in Florida. Most of these snowbirds stay until the end of March each year. They generally have their lots rented through 3/31 of each year.

By scheduling it two or two-and-a-half weeks later, a lot more of us would stop at Perry on our way back North. I, for one, don't want to break camp, drive 600 miles to Perry, then come 600 miles back down to Florida. I'd also be forfeiting a half-month's lot rental as well as a half-month more in the sun!

I think by rescheduling it to the end of March or first week of April -- ideally hold it on the split week at the end of March -- we would significantly increase the attendance.

What do others of you think?
