Start Making Plans Now!

I was talking to a ventriloquist friend a couple of days ago and the topic came up of Vent Haven 2017. This person did just like I have heard several other people do. He moaned and groaned about the expense of the ConVENTion.

So I decided to add up the expenses of the trip. The cost of getting into the ConVENTion is about $125.00 for the first person in a group or family. If you arrived at the Marriot on Wednesday about noon, you would only need to be there for 4 nights if you did not depart until Sunday morning.

Cost of Hotel, $480.00. So far that is $605.00. You don’t need to eat at the expensive Hotel restaurant if you don’t have the money. Drive about a mile from the hotel and there are several inexpensive restaurants like McDonalds.

Even better, you are right next to the biggest Kroger on the planet. Buy a styrofoam cooler for about 8 bucks. Then buy your groceries for each day making sure to get food that is ready to eat.

We can tell you for a fact that 2 people can eat for the entire time on about $100.00. Go back to your room with your styrofoam cooler and go get ice from the Hotel ice machine. (Free)

Now you are at $705.00 dollars. If you spend $300.00 on transportation that puts you at $1,000.00 for the entire ConVENTion.

There are now 41 weeks before next years ConVENTion. $1,000.00 divided by 41 is $24.39 per week. Most of us waste that much every week. Stop wasting and put it in a jar.. . . . .

There goes your excuse. We will see you at ConVENTion next year.

We will talk again next week.
