Come to Ogden in 2004!
Well,
we just finished our last convention in Prescott, AZ, and what a
convention it was! But, now itfs time to start thinking about next
yearfs convention. Next year, we will be in Ogden, UT, to explore
the UP Trail. Ogden is home to the Golden Spike National Historic
Site, where the golden spike was driven to signify where the two
train lines met ? one coming from the east, and the other coming
from the west ? to complete the transcontinental railroad.
Ogden is a beautiful city nestled in foothills, and very close to
where the 2002 Winter Olympics were held. Ogden is also very close
to the Great Salt Lake. Ogden is a short drive from the Salt Lake
City airport and is easily accessible from I-15 and I-80.
Our convention headquarters will be the Comfort Suites, right off
I-15. Our convention will start Monday afternoon with registration
at the Comfort Suites. That evening we will have a special treat
in that our Monday night BBQ will be held on Antelope Island, an
island in the Great Salt Lake. From the deck of the picnic area,
we will have magnificent views of the Great Salt Lake. For those
adventuresome souls among us, after the meal, you can climb to the
top of small peak, and watch the sunset over the Salt Lake. Our
caterer will be serving Buffalo burgers as one of the choices for
the meal.
Our Tuesday will start with the standard Memorial Breakfast, followed
by the Opening Session, Afternoon society auction, and then the
Tuesday evening Memberfs Book Sale (Joe Wheeler fondly calls this
the Hucksterfs Night). We are going to try for an expanded Memberfs
Book Sale that night with significantly more sellers. For our member
book dealers, and those with something to sell, come and show your
wares ? there are lots of people that still have some cash, because
they couldnft get the item they wanted at the auction that afternoon
because of our high bidders.
Wednesday we will be taking a bus trip out to the Golden Spike site,
along with having lunch in a surprise, spectacular setting. Wednesday
night, we will have our traditional ice cream social hour.
Thursday, we start with the annual meeting, have the afternoon off
to shop and stroll around the historic district of Ogden, and then
have the Formal Banquet that night.
Unfortunately, the time will go all too fast, and everyone will
be leaving Friday morning. I am still working on a location to go
for an after convention mini-convention and will have details on
this in future issues of the Review.
I am hoping this will be a spectacular convention and will be providing
you with details as they get finalized. Look for registration materials
early in the year.
