Title: NPC-Nationals Host Hotel-not sold out
Post by: larger_format on November 12, 2007, 05:37:26 PM: NPC Group Rates are gone-
but there are rooms available.

Why do they insist on holding the Nationals on (one of) the worst travel weekends of the year pre-THANKSGIVING

Because this is the cheapest weekend to rent out a location all year. Most traveled + Most shopping + No School = Cheap Rental of High School Auditorium.

So you're saying it's an upgrade over the Keystone Classic Pro Show from earlier in the year, which you told me was held in a high school auditorium??

I wouldn't be upset at all if they moved it to someplace less expensive!
