Like AlpineK said, Ken, don't judge it by the singular event last year. In 2002, we had TG Stout and a blast. Lots of folks showed and it was a fun time; the weather was good. Early October in Leavenworth is a great time - brisk nights (snuggle with that special someone), cool sunny days (no greasy whimpering), and granite, granite, granite!
