I think it would be better to have the ForumFest "on season" - gives everyone another "excuse" to either come to the Lake if not here for the summer... and of course the most number of folks who DO stay for the summer will already be here.
Anyway, just a thought....
It would be kind of cool to have the 'fest on the refurbished Mount (maybe in the newly done over Captain's Room), but I fully understand those who don't want to be captive for that long. Does make a good excuse to take a ride on the Mount with the new engines (as if we need one

) if we did hold it there!
