Meskwaki

hosts

As the date approaches, if it is not announced for sure, I will call and talk to one of the hosts, maybe Sarah. If I need to do that I will and I will post the for sure date here for all to know. Until they know the date....why should we????
 
We made reservations based on email from Sarah stating that dates were Oct 15-17. Until they tell us otherwise, we are still working on that assumption.

The pit boys usually get it right. There seems to have been a slack in certain depts. lately. Promotions and online are dragging their feet trying to sort out events and getting it posted. It will happen, there is a conflict over the event center they have to agree upon.

They had a big promotion for bingo recently and expected over 1,000 players but after setting up a huge event in two rooms they ended up with just over 100 players. Reason...not properly promoted. Heard someone lost their job over the deal. Management is micromanaging now as a result and you know how that can be.

It looks to be a last minute deal but it will happen. I stayed a couple days at the hotel and the desk was aware of it but did not have the exact dates for it, could only say it was Oct. for sure.

I find it all a bit unusual for Mesk as they have always had a good track record especially for the BJT. I'm guessing there is turmoil among management for reasons unknown.

I would keep the middle two weekends in Oct. open, it likely will be one of the two. The pit guys are planning on the 8th,9th and 10th, they quoted Bob on those dates. I did not see Bob this trip and so it is second hand to me.

The lady at the ticket desk thought it was the weekend of 15-17th. She could not sign me up or take any moneyyet. She is the one that told me they were waiting for the Gaming Commission to approve it.

Mine is not to reason why, mine is to play until I die. Best to all !!!

There HAS to be something along these lines going on. It may be less than a month off (depending on the weekend) and we're hanging. That's hard to comprehend! Can they be confident of a large field of entrants when todays economy is considered along with date uncertainty. I don't think so.
I'm in the camp that "sings praises" for this event because the value is second to none and some other positives but I'm scratching my head a little over what's happening right now.
Is it just me, or others too?
