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 ???

17.00/pp?!! That must be a very special pig.
Where do other clubs stay in the area?

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

My laural cabin was disgusting. It had old chips and pretzels in the drawers and was totally infested with bugs in the kitchen. There was dust and dirt on everything. The stove didn't work either. I had to pull it out and plug it in. I think that should be on their checklist. The night clerk was unhelpful as well.I will NOT be staying at fontana again.

I vote for the Jameson Inn in Alcoa;at least all the cars were in one place and you could hang out easily with other owners.Plenty of local eateries within walking distance.Gasoline was much cheaper in Alcoa.
Saturday Monster Roll out from there was really cool.
We'd lose the Friday night cookout but save that money
Saturday banquet would have to off-site so that would be a down side that would need to be worked out

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.
