Some notes on this conference: Registration is limited due to the size of 
the facility, and the conference is sold out for this year. We will have 
another next year.
My phone number was published incorrectly in The Anvil's Ring, Hammer's 
Blow and California Blacksmith. The correct number is 970-532-4387.
