A new venue at Saratoga Springs (Saratoga, CA) will be really nice and allow for a bigger crowd.

Great, I was hoping there would be one in CA. I might even know a little bit about mine by then.An FNG question. What's to be expected at an EggFest? Lot's of BGEs and food, DUH butAs @anton said:-cLBGE - I like the hot stuff. The big dry San Joaquin Valley, Clovis, CA

@logchief, never been to one, looks like we will learn together, there will also be the Eggfest sponsored by BGE, probably in Sonoma, at least that's where it was last year.Hope to see you at least one of them.

This could be really fun! Can't wait for more details. I noticed that it's on a Sunday. I guess that really doesn't matter though.KelleyEgging with No Joke Smoke (Bruce), enjoying small town life in Brenham, TX., the home of Blue Bell Ice Cream.

Hmm...changed the location and the date to May?South SLO County

Bigger location, better overall facilities. 1 week earlier than last year.
Out of state guests are always welcomed.

Wow, a Sunday Eggfest is kind of different. We normally reserve Sunday for prayer…for the room to stop spinning, late check out and such. lolEggObsessed said:This could be really fun!

Hello Darian,Photo Egg said:Wow, a Sunday Eggfest is kind of different. We normally reserve Sunday for prayer…for the room to stop spinning, late check out and such. lolWe have a bit of a competition for the better venues out here, we need to a venue that can handle 600 attendees and 200+ cars. Those type venues are targets for weddings and they get up to $10k for a wedding booking. When we moved to the Sunday date 3 years ago, I also was concerned...but we continue to sell out well in advance so this arrangement seems to work for all parties. Make a mini vacation and enjoy the beautiful Bay Area while you're here. We had outgrown our last venue and wanted a special place for our 10th Annual, we see this venue being a place we can stay for several years to come.-SMITTY

Hello all,
I know it's superfluous, but I'll give a pitch for anyone that's in the area (or reasonably close) to go check out this event. Not only are Eggfests awesome in general, @SMITTYtheSMOKER is a great guy and will be a super host. I had the pleasure of cooking with both him and @R2Egg2Q and you couldn't ask to meet two better cooks or people. I'm going to see if I can arrange a work trip around this weekend so I can get out and take part.
Cheers all -

Hello EggObessed,
We've always used the Hyatt House in Santa Clara (Rivermark Plaza) as our Eggfest Hotel. Attendees liked this location as it offers several restaurants and grocery store within walking distance to the Hotel itself. Since we moved our Eggfest to Saratoga (25 minutes away) we are still contemplating if we can find another that is indeed better.
