Try Try Again. God Willing we will have a meetup this Spring. I suggest either Thursday May 20th through Sunday May 23rd, OR Thursday June 3rd through Sunday June 6th. These are the weekends before and after Memorial Day Weekend.
Here is the thing… Indiana has reasonable rules about numbers of guests, masks and distancing at this time. Our group is much like a big family reunion event. The 4H fairgrounds, in Argos, are “sponsored” by the Purdue University Agricultural Extension people. If they are agreeable, I think we should make a reservation for the commercial building we normally use. I don’t know much about the new building. Maybe @Ron_L can help. Timing must also work out for them.

100 thumbs up! I better get busy. You would think I would have used the extra year to get a project done, but no.

Time to make contact with the fairgrounds now. We will see what we can reserve. June 3-6 is fine with me, too.

Jakob, by bugs I meant Covid. Sorry, but I doubt I will make it this year, even if the pandemic should suddenly disappear.

Well we are going to miss you, but I understand practical reality.
Mike. I know last time we had some problems with draining condensate and cleaning out trucks. What do we need to do this year so there are no problems with that?

Jakob,
It is very simple to say, maybe harder to accomplish. No dumping. We will have to catch ash in a metal container, and cart it away on Sunday. We will have to catch condensate, and cart it away on Sunday. Park Rules: Leave only footprints, take only pictures. I think we can do that, just have to think about how. The local residents WILL be watching us.
