PARKING:
Location is in rhe Cascade Building, with free parking behind the building (near the airfield)

You'll see our semi-trucks parked behind the building. You can park along the airport fence, or between the semis.  The SWO entrance has changed.  It's now one of the doors further to the right - the entrance accesses the men's bathroom. (There will be a sign on the door.) The tents are right inside that door.  There are two tents set up for your staging and equipment storage.

I'm in. This is a great troop.

But a tent for changing? The light might be better, but it still sounds like a downgrade.

Jim, would you mind confirming if they're talking about the tent they had set up for the princesses to use last year?  I tried to duck in there to change last year and there was no lighting and the tables set out to use weren't usable.  Are we still able to use the area with tables behind the display like last year as an option?  It was dim but a better choice.

Sign me up at Luke Skywalker.  Not sure if I'll go Bespin or Yavin Ceremonial.  I can be there at least from 2 to 4, but may show up earlier.

Thanks,
Josh

I’ll do both shifts. One as Santa Kylo and one as Christmas Nihilus. Neither seem to be taken.

Update: I'm planning to be there as Porg Leader, and will probably show up between noon and 1 and stay as long as I can hold out.

I injured my back November 11th, and have been diagnosed with arthritis in my back and my knee. But, no surgery required, and physical therapy has already helped, along with God's miracle steroid Prednisone. I will see how a couple hours feels Saturday, but I think I'll be good for Saturday and Sunday. More to come.

 After reflection, I'm going to withdraw from this and tomorrow's event as well. I need to focus on my physical therapy and not push it, I'd like to go back to work Dec. 16th. Driving is OK, for a while, and I don't want to find that 45+ minutes each way is too much. I will miss you all!

Do take care of yourself.  Hopefully you get better soon too.  Back injuries are the worst.  See you next time when you are feeling better.

We'll miss you, but better to be a bit too cautious with injuries than to over do it and make things worse.  Hope things heal up for you quickly.

Too bad we don't have any Officers at this one. It would be funny to have them do what Tally the Elf does and walk around with Santa's list to see who is Naughty and Nice. Although that might be a little problematic with Santa actually there, now that I think of it...

I've uploaded my photos to the gallery, and my Flickr album is here:  https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjBZrCe

Sorry for the delay.  My PC hit the dust shortly after the event and I had to set up my new one.
