Yes!  Thank you Ms. Heimer!

I'd also like to second Purple's comment about keeping it all ages-- we took our 15 year old two years ago, and it was a mind broadening experience for him.  (And us.)

Best party of the year

I have thought about doing a kids time, maybe at the beginning of the event. I'll try to work something out! It is 21+ because there will be alcohol. Maybe not important to everyone but important to the success of almost any Duluth gathering. It's a tough situation to be in when you are the one responsible for keeping everyone happy. I'll see what we can work out....

What time does it start?

Just threw away my diarama from last time.  I'm all for the alcohol.

The reason it wasn't 21+ at Emerson is because it was totally illegal. I'm just trying to do this thing legally because it is me who would be held responsible. There were about six cops there last time that I had to deal with and it spooked me. You are right...it could work out to have wristbands or whatnot. I would probably have to hire a cop then...but perhaps it would be worth it.

Just to clear things up for everyone.......The 21+ thing does not mean "NO KIDS ALLOWED" I think it will be fine to  bring your kids along with you. Usually people have brought their kids in the early part of the evening and it was a non issue. When I wrote that it was 21+ I didn't mean "NO KIDS". I just don't want underage people there trying to get drunk. The whole purpose of the post was to let people know about the event and give them ample time to make something for it. It has turned into something else. It's also the first time I've had it at SH so just need to figure out the best way to go about things. I'm probably going to stop reading these comments so please contact me via email if you have anything to say! Thanks
