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.

Yes! A little sleuth god/dess! I can't wait! :)

doing both categories is possible. I won't rule it out. :)

As for the costume ball, Flo had asked a similar question of me concerning a costume contest. We are still ironing out the details on the Sleuth Mystery Dinner Theatre. However, my understanding is that it won't go past 9:00 pm. I believe we have the banquet room until Midnight or so. Costumes could be worn all Saturday or just for the evening events and judging could take place after the dinner event. Judges for the event would be chosen in advance of members who had confirmed reservations and volunteered.

Additionally, There is a possibility that we will have a photographer there who specializes in period photos. This person has the costumes, sets, etc. My understanding is that he is very good and quite reasonably priced.

Rhie is in Shangri-La, so you get me :)

Thank you, Sunny for making this sticky. :)

I did want to add that there is a deadline for reservations. We MUST have your reservations by May 15th. And, unfortunately, seating is limited. The banquet room only holds 100.

And for the next 2-several days, you can field questions to 'whatsername' *giggles* or email Sleuth_Con@yahoo.com. Everyone else who knows anything will be off on villain hunts. :)

As much as I would love to say that Serges and I will be able to make it, June is our busy month and Christopher is still a little too young to be left behind and we would not have a babysitter there. So by some miracle if we don't get booked we would probably be late comers if there is space.

I hope you all have a lot of fun and hopefully we will be able to make Sleuth Con II... :-)
