2011 Leupp Kiln Conference Invitation
=3D20
Although there was no Kiln Conference in 2010, thanks to the initiative =3D
of Jo Ann Weldon and Bob Casias, we would like to announce that the 2011 =
=3D
Leupp Kiln Conference will be held at Pecos National Historic Park, New =3D
Mexico on July 29-31:
=3DD8 The fire danger in the area is still too high for the Park Service =
=3D
to feel comfortable permitting us to create numerous bonfires, so the =3D
final decision will occur one week before the conference dates.
=3DD8 We cannot camp in the park, but the Glorieta Baptist Conference =3D
Center facility is located about 6 miles away. They have cabins and =3D
rooms available. No smoking or drinking on the premises. For =3D
reservations, call 1-800-797-4222. There are two public campgrounds =3D
within 15 minutes of Pecos. The National Forest camp grounds are about =3D
ten miles from the Park. Santa Fe is about 20 miles from Pecos with =3D
plenty of motels.
=3DD8 Part of the deal with the Park was that we would do some =3D
demonstrations at the park on Friday for the public.
=3DD8 Everyone is invited to come by and watch, take photos and ask =3D
questions. If you are interested in participating in the Conference =3D
there is a reasonable conference fee.=3D20
