Yep....that time again and looking forward to seeing my C-Brats!!
ARGOSY LOCK & DAM CRUISE FOR SEATTLE BOAT SHOW C-BRAT GATHERING INFORMATION:
Things change each year. This is a great and fun event for about 3 hours on Friday afternoon prior to the Friday Night "Cover Dish" party at the hotel. I think about 30 folks made this last year.
No mention of discount for registering on line early. So, I called and talked with the fast talking young lady chewing gum in my ear indicating she had worked there for years.... and bottom line, we can get discounts for groups, but someone has to be the point person for this (and I am not volunteering for this...sounds like a job) ...and their POC was not there today.... She recommended we all go ahead and register now. I commented these tickest are non refundable, and mine were $62.50, and there was no insentive to lay out my money early...other than having it all done. Her response: Well...it might sell out. My response: Well, for the last 3-4 years it has been our group and about 10 other folks on board the boat and/or bus. I do not think so....
Bottom line: I registered on line and have it done. I look forward to joining any and all other C-Brats who have done this in years past and had a good time. Not sure I would not wait until a few days prior to make your reservations, and/or even waiting until the morning of the trip. You get a confirmation number on line immediately after hitting the pay button. Print it, take that number with you. I do not recall them being over proficient at processing folks that day...
