[Namron] Sites Discussion

over 400 people attended when Owen was knighted, so I can only imagine how many there will be when he is crowned.

Morning everyone, 
this is why I was asking for an approximation of attendees, so we knew better what to look for as far as size capacity.

Cheers,
Caitrin

Greetings!

   I haven't read through every post on the Coronation disucssion, although I 
have a fair number of them, and saw Chass mention the Robbers Cave State Park 
site we used in Rundel's final event. 

   While I suspect the final site will be in the OKC area, I would mention 
another site we used in Rundel, the Pittsburg County Fairgronds. It's not as 
pretty or scenic as Robbers Cave, but there are some elements that migt be of 
interest in general to SCA events;

+ A number of very learge outdoor barns; can be used for a variety of uses, even 
camping and indoor fighting at a pinch. The barns form a semi-curve around an 
open area that can be used for fighting and other uses, even an outdoor court

+ Southeast Expo Center, which is about 50-70 yards from the barns, has areas 
that can be leased. There are concession/kitchen facilities there, and the 
bigest area, which is concrete floored, can seat a few thousand to two smaller 
areas, the larger of which, I'm guessing, could fold 700-800. It's fully climate 
controlled, has a small stage (est. 15 x 30 ft.) and I've MCed banquets there, 
before.

+ A rodeo arena is about 75 yards south of the main Expo building.

+ Located along U.S. 270, the site is about a mile east of the Indian Nations 
Turnpike, and about 3-4 miles west of the business portion of U.S. 69 Highway in 
McAlester.

   I graduated high school with the manager of the Expo facaility.


FYI,
Val
