2007 Convention Registration and Information

Hi everyone.

The schedule for the 2007 Hershey Mini Sweepstakes Convention is still being planned. However, we do know that it will be the last weekend of October. (October 26-28)

And, we do know that you'll have a lot of fun.

We wanted to keep a lot of things the same -- as Carol's 2006 experiment turned out to be a smashing success! The registration fee is $100 per person. The location is the same....Holiday Inn at Grantville, PA. And, the registration limit is still the same! We're accepting 250 of the most exciting and energized sweepers!

Registration is NOW OPEN! Please check out the website below to print out the form. And, if you send your registration form and fee by January 29th, you'll be entered to win back your registration fee! (Details on website)

I will be addressing questions on the website, but please keep in mind that we are still in the earliest of the planning stage. I can't wait until October!!!

Thank you Carol! It will be great to see you again.

I have posted detailed instructions on how to reserve your hotel room at the Holiday Inn. Our guaranteed rate is $103/night (plus tax).

You can find these instructions at http://www.hersheyminiconvention.com...servations.htm

Rob...I just want to be sure I am not missing something. I mailed my registration today (to go out tomorrow) and reserved my room for the 2 nights of the convention today.

My questions is...If I want to stay an extra night can I do it with the same link?......I do not think I can do it with the link we have for the special rate..At least I could not figure out how. If this is possible can you tell me how.

I am going to just call them tomorrow to make the reservation (I am sure will be a little bit highter rate) for adding an extra night.

Never been to any sweep convention before. Really looking forward to it.

If Rob doesn't get to you before you call the hotel, just ask them if you can still have the discounted rate for I would assume to be Sunday night's stay.

When I negotiated last year's rates I had the rate applied to Thursday as well as Sunday's room reservations. It was supposed to be set up the same way this year when I told them that we would be coming back to the same hotel this year. I then turned it over to Patty. If you have a problem or Rob or Patty has a problem please let me know so that I can get it straightened out. They promised me the same stuff as last year when we talked.

I will also be talking to them tomorrow for my own reservation to go up on Thursday to see my niece and get settled in.

Good question Susan!

According to Holiday Inn, you may stay Sunday night at same rate guaranteed (no problem).

As for Thursday night, they only have 50 rooms available. They will be able to swing the $103 for Thursday night until they reach maybe 30 rooms available.

The best course of action is to make reservations for October 26,27 online and then call Holiday Inn directly at 717-469-0661 to add a night (or two).

I will add your question to the FAQ section of the website in an attempt to help others!

Called the hotel and no problem adding Sunday night at the reduced rate....

Can't afford it, and it's too far away.

One of these years I'm going to make it to one, however.

But my printer is broke. Can I write the info on a plain piece of paper and mail it to you?
Thanks!

I added a form for spouses, friends, and S.O.'s to attend the banquet only.

Hi there everyone! I'm new to Online-Sweeps and came across this posting. Hershey is only about a 3 hour drive from me, so I was curious as to what the mini convention is??? I looked on the main page, but it doesn't really describe what it's all about.

Can anyone shed some light for me? It would be greatly appreciated!

Peace!
