It will cost about 1/4 of what Sokol will this year, for one thing.  The 
event steward went to look at it and determined that it will work for us, 
for another.  Finally, the site liaison for TPWD will be Mistress Rhiannon, 
who completely understands what we need and why.

Not quite.  We are staying away from Texas Parks *whenever* it is illegal 
to have alcohol on site.  For parks, that's all the time.  But the fish 
hatchery conservation building isn't a park; it's a conference center.  We 
cannot have alcohol there when the hatchery is open to the public, but we 
can have it after 5:00.  That makes this the first Twelfth Night in many 
years to which we can bring our own alcohol.
