Announcing the First Annual Sleuther's Convention:

SLEUTHCON I

Who? You
When? June 15-17, 2007
Where? Best Western Lakeside, Orlando (Kissimmee), FL
What? The cost for attending will be $125. This does not include your room, but does include meals (Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner on Saturday and Breakfast on Sunday) and activities. Rooms will be $69.00 per night booked in advance through the hotel. Simply tell the booking agent that you are attending SleuthCon I.

Activities/Events:

The evening of June 15th will essentially be a chance for people to get checked in and organized. It will also serve as a time for introducing ourselves to each other.

Saturday the 16th will be the main day of activities including a treasure hunt and concluding with a mystery dinner theater. There will be door prizes as well as other prize categories to be announced, such as farthest distance traveled to attend. Sunday will conclude the event with breakfast and gathering in the meeting room to hand out the last prizes and say our farewells.

As the event approaches I will have more detail on activities and prizes. I highly recommend booking early as the rooms will fill fast. Comments and suggestions will be duly noted and possibly used. :)

Hotel info is here:

It is best to call them as you will need to tell them you are attending SleuthCon I to get the reduced rate.

We will have it set up soon to take payments to reserve your spot at the convention. I will update here as soon as I have the particulars.

I might actually convince my husband that I should go and he should stay home and watch the 3 kids all by himself for the weekend. :)

Or he could go with me. Our 6 year wedding anniversary is at the end of June. We could go as a getaway.

Although, you know, you could bring them all with. Disney World, Epcot Center, Disney's Animal Kingdom, Universal Studios, Sea World....

All of that is within 5 minutes or so of the hotel (well, except Sea World and it's still close). Animal Kingdom is right behind it. The hotel itself has 3 pools and a kiddie pool. A video arcade, free high speed internet, a golf course, mini golf, 24 acres total. I will be there from the 13th to the 19th. :)

That's an interesting idea. I think he might actually go for something like that more than just me or just me and him going. That way he could be with the kids the days of the convention.

Is this event officially sanctioned by Sleuth? Will Sunny and Ben be there?
When you mention a treasure hunt, do you mean like the ones we have on here.. solving cases to get clues?

I would like a few more details before I book a room.

Yes, it has been approved and sanctioned by Admin. Whether they will be there or not remains unknown at this time. The formal details of some of the activities are still being planned out, but the entire theme of the convention is Sleuth-based, so that's probably a safe bet, Flo.

MMm.. from what I understand Ben and Sunny have expressed an interest in coming.. as of right now thought we are unsure of thier attendance. It is going to be great... Rhiemma Moon has put alot of work into this convention .. so a big thanks to her. :)

We are still working on the treasure hunt for the event. It isnt going to be exactly like here where you have to solve cases. It will be going on during the convention, mostly on Saturday. As of right now the treasure hunt is only for those who attend the convention. It should be fun.

The location of the hotel is great. There are restraunts, clothing shops, and tourist shops all around the hotel. Inside the hotel you can get information about the parks and I think even purchase the tickets. It is farly close to Disney. Oh and the breakfast buffet is great. (they have an omlet station. a bread station.. fruit... pastries...cereal...eggs.. bacon.. ect.. you get the ides.) There are three pools.. play areas for the kids. They have a deli and a pizza hut inside the hotel. And mini golf..complimentary for those staying at the hotel. There is also Miniture golf in the area if you wanted to get a different enviroment.

Ummm.. okay that is all I can think of right now.. If anyone has any questions.. you can pm me and i will try and answer. If I am unable to answer then i will find out for you.. smiles.. hope everyone gets to come.
