i need some opinions

[Devastation]

i'm thinking about hosting another powerlifting meet come november or december. i'm leaning towards nov 26 which is the sat of the long thanksgiving day weekend. i know that people spend time with their fams during this time, but i know mine doesn't so there has to be others that dont. the other time i was thinking was the weekend BEFORE thanksgiving. there seems to be alot of other meets around this time and i wouldn't have to worry about family conflicts or people busting their butts to make a weight class

the december idea doesn't pan out well with Christmas and what not

all input is welcome, be serious about a date tho

Weekend before Thanksgiving sounds the best


although u will have to compete with other shows for competitors

how far will people be coming from? travel is more expensive and crowded on holidays. For an in/out same day deal I wouldn't have a problem with it if you're expecting locals.

i would hopefully try and draw folks from SD, MN, IA, and NE. all within a 2-3 hr driving distance. no flyins

stay away from holiday weekends, bro. seriously. I plan events for a living and holidays are the WORST time to try to put on any time of event.

well i don't think the weekend before thanksgiving is too bad...because people can be on their diets, etc. then their cheat day can be that huge thanksgiving meal after the meet...but then again some people wouldn't want to go to it during the holiday especially if they REALLY need a vacation n want to relax...just a thought bro

I thought I was shortsighted... thanks for the confirmation that the lack of ridiculous things around here is normal
