Since the registration fee buys you more than just food, there's no point in trying to eat $25 worth of food. I do recall writing an extremely long winded explanation on what the registration fee went towards when you e-mailed me asking specifically what the registration fee paid for shortly before ECXC 2k4. If all I spent the reg fee on was food the last 2 years, there'd be enough food to feed everyone that was at Echo Valley Campground the last two years!

Pete's correct, ECXC 2k5 and most likely every ECXC from now on will be the same weekend in July as the past 2 ECXCs. 2k5 will be July 22nd - 25th.

I've put thought into making ECXC longer, have for the last couple years. For now, it's going to stay a 3 day weekend. Making it a longer event may allow people from further west and very southern states attend, but since pretty much anywhere ECXC would be held would be a pay-to-play park, it would get expensive real quick.
