No site fee required but looking for suggested donations ($5) to cover costs. Last year there were 52 people. Lunch tavern and dinner taverns are being considered but no one is lined up to run them yet. However, both lunch and dinner taverns can be proposed and approved at a later date and are not required to have this event. There is plenty of time to line up lunch and/or dinner taverns later.
