I've attended CKC Lancaster before and have always stayed at the Marriott. This year we're staying offsite (not by choice) and I'm wondering if it's difficult to find parking at or near the convention center, and how early we should plan to arrive. Also, we're attending the crop on Friday night. I've never attended a CKC crop before - is it OK to bring in adult beverages? We're definitely not planning on getting inebriated; I'm just wondering if it's OK to share a bottle of wine with my tablemates  |

Bumping this in hopes that a pea that's been to CKC Lancaster (I know there are a few) will see it...

paperaddictedpea I've been to CKC Lancaster including the crops and will be there this year, though going to an LSS to crop instead. If you get there early enough you can park at the convention center, but there is a large parking garage in the next block that we parked at and it is just half a block from the convention center entrance going south. The down side is the convention doesn't validate those parking tickets. I have never seen anyone bring adult beverages but not saying they don't. The crop doesn't last long enough to really party. It's only 3 and a half hours. I guess you could bring it in but the atmosphere the last few years has been people scrapping for the most part and if they were imbibing it wasn't obvious.

Thanks. I"m really bummed that we couldn't stay at the Marriott - it's nice to be able to go to your room and take a break from classes and shopping. We've always reserved in March/April and never had a problem, but we called in January this year and were told that all of the rooms with double beds in the CKC block were sold out  We could have paid the regular rate of $200+/night but agreed we'd rather spend that money at the vendor fair. Re: the alcoholic beverages, I was thinking one bottle of wine split amongst our table, so basically one glass per person. None of us are partiers and we definitely want to get pages done. I don't think I'm going to bother, though, because I won't have any way to keep it cold. Hopefully I can find my non-alcoholic drink of choice (unsweetened ice tea) and bring that instead! |
