Some good suggestions here; keep them coming!
Yes, we are very limited in our food options for 200+ people in the area, but there are some other lunch options that we will look into. We'll do some polls on registration package options prior to the next event.
The only thing we WON'T try again is a totally "a la carte" registration package. Been there, done that, and it was a logistical nightmare! 
Raul and I gave Fontana some very specific feedback on the food that we hope they will take to heart.

I LIKED the Saturday lunch BBQ buffet we had at Deals Gap last year or the year before or the year before that ...... ONE OF THOSE TIMES

Fontana's prices for a pulled pork BBQ is >$17.00 per person, which is pretty pricey for our Friday night. BUT, could certainly consider it. Deal's Gap (who did the bag lunches this year) has done a whole pig BBQ in the past for lunch for a reasonable price, but they can't do a dinner. Good suggestion though; we could check out other BBQ options.

I think it was the 2007 DBR that was held at Nantahala Village www.nvnc.com --that has my vote for a return trip.

^^ I'll second that. 
What about a pig roast on Friday night? I've always thought those were fun and its usually budget friendly.

No Kallan...Fontana is just getting outta hand !! They know they have us wrapped-up !!! If you want to stay close to the Dragon, with all the amenities...you will have to pay-to-play...@ their prices...regardless....That is just too bad for us !!!! Perhaps we need to eliminate them from the picture, a couple of times...and see if they really want our business....Maybe the other clubs, will see the same picture that they are painting for us ???
