15480 Empire Rd. Benson, AZ 85602 hm ph: 520-586-2244 I'm suspecting that there will be fewer vendors this year at Big Bear since many of them will now go to the PAC event in Pasadena. I don't know how the trade-off in location and expenses will affect the vendors. Location is more convenient, but it may cost more downtown... This is a new moon year for the RTMC and the weather prospects are looking good. Maybe we will see more telescopes than usual. We usually solve the food problem by eating in town or at the outside hamburger hut. No problems, yet!

Hope you survive the food this year. When they get back to their roots and telescope makers are the main attraction on Telescope field instead of rows and rows of vendor tents then 'I'll be back" as Arnold would say. Also, when they get their act together on the food.
