Ely Boomtown History Conference Packages August 4-8, 2010 Click here for printable page of packages
We are
sharing this weekend with the annual Art in the Park
festival. Because of this, we found it necessary to
reserve blocks of rooms to ensure our conference
attendees would have space available to them. We have
included all costs in the packages as stated, except the
cost of the Lehman Caves tour on Thursday, August 5. You
will have your choice of a ½ hour tour for $4 or a one
hour tour for $8. These fees can be paid at the park.
Please let us know which tour you are selecting on your
registration form so we may advise the park rangers in
advance. The box lunches on Thursday, August 5, include your choice of sandwich (see registration form) a fresh fruit cup, chips, and homemade cookies. We will provide bottled water and sodas during the tour and at lunch. There will
be a no host bar at both the Friday night dinner at the
Postal Palace and the Saturday night dinner at the East
Ely Railroad Depot Freight Barn. There will be concessions for sale (including beer) during the train ride on Saturday, August 7. Coffee and
tea will be provided during presentations at the
Bristlecone Convention Center on Friday, Saturday, and
Sunday. Soft drinks and bottled water will be available
for purchase. We have also included donations to the many nonprofit groups who are assisting us with the conference and the tours. These groups include the East Ely Railroad Depot Museum, the Nevada Northern Railway, Renaissance Village, Cave Lake State Park, and the Ghost Riders.
