Is there a discount for the children or are they not welcome at the events?
It’s a banquet dinner with speakers. Mature children might enjoy it, but smaller children would probably be bored out of their minds. There’s also a breakfast and the hotel will offer a discounted price for children for that, but not at the banquet. The rooms at this hotel were discounted for us by approximately $75 to $80 per night. That discount over two or three nights (or more for some who are staying longer) plus the breakfast and banquet dinner included makes it about a break even deal for a couple. Sorry, but banquets at DC hotels are fairly expensive to put on and we’re already committed. We cannot cut back on the level of service or our costs at this time.
By the way, anyone can come to the march and tea party events and there is no price of admission for those, but we are limiting the official FReeper Convention to registered FReepers, families and guests.
Thanks
