Yes, and will the doors be unlocked is one big concern…

>>think :
no stairs to haul stuff up/down
limitless bathroom options
easy car access
send the family down to the canal park
(nice walk with a stroller too)

My main concern is the length of this auction – it’s an all-day affair, not just three or four hours like the plant auction. With the Weter common area, we at least have the coffee shop and Subway right there within sight so that folks can get a snack and come back without actually leaving the facility. If we have to take a lunch break in April (or some such), we’ll easily lose half our attendees. Another thing to consider is that we had SRO last month – imagine how hot, crowded and LOUD that room will be for a general auction!

Yea, I like having it near parking and no stairs as well. But we maxed out that capacity of that room in February, so I’m really quite concerned what would happen if we did an even bigger auction there in April.
