p.1 #7 · Workshop help....How many days | |
Rick,
I'm not, nor was I, trying to be combative - more jokey than anything. And your comment of "so there is a lot, and I mean a lot, to do if you stay the night." read to me like you weren't planning on keeping the workshop locked up in a conference room or studio somewhere...my mistake if that was a misinterpretation.
But still, I'm coming at this from the perspective of a potential attendee, so I think my feedback is relevant to you. A statement like "While cold in winter, the geographical attributes of Niagara-on-the-Lake ensure that the average temperature does not drop far below the freezing point." may be a good sell compared to other parts of Canada or the Great Lakes regions, but with other winter-time workshops being held in places like Phoenix, Florida, Southern California, New Mexico...see my point? Local orchards and vineyards sound lovely, and I've really enjoyed my visits to similar attractions in the Finger Lakes region, but they aren't really an option in February.
I'm more likely to travel for something that lasts 2 days than 1, but I'm less likely to travel for "not dropping far below the freezing point" unless that location is offering some other significant incentive.
That wouldn't be an issue were I local already, but if I had to travel more than a couple of hours for it and stay overnight I'd be looking for something where the location provided some kind of advantage relative to the workshop material - like being located in a rental wedding venue for the wedding-related portions, for instance. Or controlled and private access to a ski mountain or hockey rink for winter sports-related stuff. I'd think that would provide me valuable hands-on experience that I might not be able to get elsewhere.
That's just my perspective on your question.
