Shoot. $25 is often the cost for an entire coronet weekend: the 
event, plus Saturday lunch (simple dayboard), a feast on Saturday 
evening, and leftovers / breakfast on Sunday. Saturday morning is 
often a fundraiser by some group (a few bucks donation max), and 
often there is a Friday eve social soup/bread from the hosting group 
(free) for arriving travelers and site workers doing set up.

And that's in Alaska, where everything is higher (except gas prices, 
where we're a tad lower on average, since we pump it ourselves and 
process some instate).
