Baitcon 26 is coming up fast!

If you are attending, can you please take a quick minute and email us or comment here to let us know if you are through Sunday dinner? We are trying to get a headcount for that meal and Monday meals :)


Important things to note:

There is no admittance for unregistered guests/last-minute arrivals. Please visit the website (wp.baitcon.org) register if you want to attend!

There are still some open/available cabins or huts at this time. If you need one, please email to info dash 2015 at baitcon dot org

For your safety & that of the entire con, we require that you review these pages:
the Rules http://wp.baitcon.org/baitcon-xxvi/rules-policies/rules-2/
and
Keeping Baitcon Safe http://wp.baitcon.org/baitcon-xxvi/rules-policies/keeping-baitcon-safe/

For your comfort, health & ease, we ask you to read about
What-to-Bring http://wp.baitcon.org/baitcon-xxvi/preparation-safety/what-to-bring/
and Mosquitos&Ticks pages http://wp.baitcon.org/baitcon-xxvi/preparation-safety/mosquitos-ticks-bears-oh-my/

Additionally, if you have any medical condition or allergies that we should be aware of, we hope you made that clear on your registration form. If not, please email us BEFORE AUG. 25th Please tell us, even if we’ve known about it for years. The medical staff may change each year and out of respect for your privacy, we do not keep this information from year to year. And if you are sick with or have recently been exposed to a communicable disease such as Measles, Chicken Pox, the flu, Ebola (paying attention?), please do NOT attend and thus risk the health of others.

Figure out what you need to pack by visiting our What to Bring page (see link above or, you know, visit our website).

Looking for a ride? Able to provide one? PLEASE CARPOOL and consider using the Ride Board
You may also need Directions or a look at the Map. You can find those on the website. (note: JB is in the middle of fixing the ride board, apparently)

You can arrive any time after 2p. on Friday. Do not arrive early, do not decide that you're only one-car/one group of people and it is no big deal. It is and we'll be really grumpy about this if it happens. We are handling our deliveries differently and have trucks going up & down the mountain before the event starts. So if you arrive in the area before 2p., explore greater Pittsfield or tiny New Lebanon for a bit until 2p when you can head up the mountain road. Further more, please note the information about unloading your gear and Parking

The chefs will be providing plenty of good food for everyone - check out the Menu

Wondering what else there is to do for fun at Baitcon? Check out the Merriment page
http://wp.baitcon.org/baitcon-xxvi/merriment/ or bring an idea of your own :) There is ice cream to make (and eat!), star gazing, hanging out in the meadow, walking in the woods, the late-night contra dance, gaming & exploring nature and so much more.

And, of course, you should view the Ice Cream pages, including Pre-Con Ice Cream Advice,
http://wp.baitcon.org/ice-cream/pre-con-ice-cream-advice/ and Kids Ice Cream
http://wp.baitcon.org/ice-cream/kids-ice-cream/
... start dreaming up your own sorbet/ice-cream/ice-milk flavor.

We still need some volunteers to help with meal service/beverage refills, clean up & parking. If you're willing to help with any of those for a couple of hours, please let us know via, you guessed it, email to info dash 2015 at baitcon dot org

If you have questions, email us if you have any questions - via email to info dash 2015 at baitcon dot org before noon on Wednesday, August 26th!

See you soon!
Kimberly & BCC

Heya - it might be too late to let you know, but the people I am riding with plan to stay for Sunday dinner. That will make 3 of us total. I'm pretty sure that they hadn't RSVP'd already so you won't be counting them twice.
