This is not a gathering as much as it is,....an event. It will be unique and not likely to be repeated.
We keep hearing from people that hope that they can make it next year. Hopeful thinking.
I believe I speak for everyone in the Gateway Crossfire Group when I say;
We are damm glad to host this event.
We are damm glad to create the venues and the activities for this once in a lifetime event.
And,
We Are Commited to make everyone who attends, damm glad they came.
And when you all return home and speak to your Crossie friends, who didn't come, you can say, "Damm, you missed a really good once in a lifetime experience."
'Cause that is what it will likely be. Don't count on "next year" here in St Louis. We plan on doing it right but we also plan on doing it "once."

Good words Franc, good words. I will say this much, there is always room for improvement and I'm sure others can excel wherever we may not have. However, I agree, there will not be another CAA in STL...at least with my involvement as a key component. Perhaps someone can pick up the helm in their neck of the woods and can improve upon the idea...but this will be the only 1st CAA.
