I think this would make for a great location for the Official Executive Fest Hotel next year. if it is big enough. No way it could take the place of the holiday Inn though.

Lots of us are already booked!

As long as you're not too picky then someone will have a place you can sleep I would have thought. Just don't tell immigration that's your plan or you'll be on the first flight home again! |

Ammenities include a nearby Steak 'n Shake, a marsh front view, bottle openers in every bathroom, front desk personell who don't mind a few prank phone calls, and a vending machine that offers free peanuts if you shake it hard enough. i've stayed at Rush Lake every year since Fest 4. no complaints. love the beer openers in the bathroom. never a problem. runs about $150 for 3 nights. last year i had a number of people saying they needed a place to crash, then they all bailed. i ended up sleeping on alternating beds all Fest (there were two in the room)
