Glad to have you with us on this Mark! Starting on a Monday.. gives people the weekend to travel there.. ending Thursday for the trip back. The Dragon makes me work two days then off.. get back from Vacation and back to work for 3 days till the weekend. Splitting up a week like that kinda sux.. LOL.

I'd think Thursday through Sunday would fit people's schedules better. ( it would mine )
It Accomodates the long distance attendees better.

Plus, You really do not want to be in the region during the weekender traffic jams.

THe place is crawling with Winnie-Bago types.

I would make the run down 123 to 7 and then go west to Fallsville and back north up 21. Aboiut four hours of driving. Lunch in Mount Judea.

This fall I will take a dry run of the route for timing and sightseeing opportunities.

The Bostomn Mountais are stunning.

Thursday through Sunday interferes with two separate single workweeks
Monday through Thursday allows everyone to travel to and from the event on a weekend and only use one single Calendar week of work

A very good question.

The answer is Prolly somethng like "that's the way we always didi it."

WE struggled with this question on the First CAA. And Gary's answer was the same conclusion we had. Four days of CAA is hard to make work on a weekend which has only two days. note, the dragon has only two days.


Two days to get there, four days of fun, two days of return and one day to............... REST! Seems a good plan No?

As Franc already explained......
It is a 2 day event (Saturday and Sunday) and only more days if people choose to make it more
