Well................it could easily be more than two. Fiesta takes place
in April - I'm trying to get the exact dates. For those of you who can
stay a little longer that may be an idea.
Having said that, there are the wild flower trails - simply beautiful.
Lots and lots of historical places.

Who has a calendar of events nationwide?

April is usually a really nice month - but, as they say in Texas - If you
don't like the weather, wait a moment, it'll change. The weather is
usually quite mild, nice sunny days and cool evenings - but don't hold me
to that - I don't give guarantees on the weather.
There is a motel type place in Comfort - their rates are $60 per night,
double or king.
There is a place that has rooms, and then has a log cabin that sleeps four,
and a couple of chalet type places and their rates are between $65 & $110.
Then, of course, there are some expensive places, but we won't go into that.
There are a amultitude of B&Bs. at various rates.
Rates at the Inn are between $69 (single) and $78 (double)
We wouldn't consider it an imposition. If you have the wherewithall to
camp or RV it here, we are happy to have you.

The only expense that I think we would incur would be the renting of the
port-a-potties.
I would buy a number of soft drinks that we'd keep on hand for folks to
purchase at cost - we'd leave them in an accesible place and work on the
honour system.
I think I can afford to provide the trimmings for one meal for
everyone,since wee'll already have the venison, and if we decide to have
other meals then we'll work out cost per person price, and buy what we need
to make it. As I have said, I make a mean Lancashire Hot Pot.

If you manage to get a caravan organised it would be a lot of fun. Just
Do It!!

Since Comfort isn't incorporated I can't even get a 'thankyou' from the
Chamber of Commerce for bringing them all this business. The headlines in
the local weekly paper might be interesting though, I bet we make it into
the coverage of the Sheriff's Blotter!!
