>
> The time:
> After the harvests, after the holidays, before the planting for the next
> season. Mid-February, close to Valentines Day, and thus the Hearts theme.
>
> Tentative target date is the weekend of Feb 16-17-18 (I don't have a 2001
> calendar in front of me as I write this). The earliest arrivals can show
> up
> on Friday evening to spend the night; the main event would begin around
> noon
> on Saturday and go through Saturday night into Sunday, as long as people
> felt like hanging around the second day.
>
> The Location:
> The Natural Learning Montessori Academy, in a former church building in
> Shawnee Hills, North of Columbus, very near the zoo. There is a very
> large
> downstairs room with kitchen (no oven) and a large play area (more on that
>
> in a moment). There is ample room for people to lay out sleeping bags on
> mats, heck, pitch tents for privacy, even camp in the big yard if you
> dare.
> Enough outlets for an army of crockpots, plenty of tables & chairs. More
> room in classrooms upstairs. Young children are welcome as this is a K-6
> school at the moment, with play equipment. Parking for maybe 30 vehicles.
>
> The Activities:
> Chile Twister, on mats. Maybe a chile pinata. Chile Bingo. Cooking
> demonstrations by - you! TV/VCR available. Maybe some short excursions
> to
> local destinations such as the Columbus Zoo, Zane Shawnee Caverns, or just
> a
> picnic cruise through the lovely countryside of the upper Scioto valley.
> (Downtown Columbus is about half an hour's drive away.) Weather
> permitting,
> a few smokers going out in the yard, maybe some strolls through the quiet
> neighborhoods, down to the lake and dam. Maybe some artsy-fartsy craft
> projects, if we feel like it. Suggestions are welcome.
>
> Participants should bring:
> Whatever chile products, foods, decorations, etc., that you want to show
> off, share, or sell. Some kind of electric cooking appliance such as a
> crock pot, skillet, hot plate, or grill. There is no oven or cooktop, but
>
> there is a serving area, refrigerator, and sink. Bring your own sleeping
> gear if you don't want to use a local hotel. We have bathrooms but no
> showers or bathtubs (unless you fit in the slop sink).
>
> And a suggestion:
> As a token of appreciation for the use of the facilities, I suggest we all
>
> chip in on the purchase of a $100 inscribed brick for the school's
> labyrinth
> project. A labyrinth is like a maze, only flat so you can walk right
> across
> it. The brick could have the name of the event inscribed in it, and it
> would become part of the history of the place.

> So what do ya say?
> Am I Cupid, or just stupid? Do people have the free time to make it? Or
> will everyone have their tongues frozen on to light poles?

> The school has a web site with a locator map at
