Calendar Events / Announcements '03 II / Re:Future Festivals and Return to Collinwood News

Thanks for posting this, Stuart. I wonder just what Mr. Pierson means by the statement that events will continue to be held "if the support is there"? On the heels of the announcement that this year's Festival broke all preceding attendance records (despite the difficulties many fans expressed with Labor Day weekend as a date), it would seem obvious that there's a real market for Dark Shadows conventions out there.
I wonder what format the Tarrytown Festival will take? I know there's no way that Lyndhurst could accommodate more than a fraction of the crowds the Festivals traditionally attact, though, if there's nice weather, fans could have fun outdoors on the grounds socializing and perhaps sharing picnic baskets. I'm assuming the main base of the event would be an area hotel, with the traditional day trip to Lyndhurst occupying at least one day's events.
I wonder whether there have ever been discussions with the Carey family about having the event in Newport and at least one day spent on the grounds of the *real* Collinwood? Again, issues of crowd control might make this prohibitive. The house is already suffering a lot from the wear and tear of the elements.
