Wow! 65 years already. Seems like last year I was in Mesa. 

[ElayneA]

Will try but I have another harpist coming up and doing workshops and then we have a Celtic/Classical concert.Maybe i can pop in at the end when i am home.

So exciting! I'm working in the swing shifts (afternoon/evening) that weekend, so I won't be able to attend the entire time, but I'll try to swing in during the morning.

[ChrisH]

Time certainly does fly by, I also was in Mesa for the 60th anniversary.  I,m looking forward to have a new G/ grandsons around that date, but will try and pop in.

65 years!?

It's hard to believe that the show is that old.

It's so hard nowadays to find a show just as good.

[ElayneA]

I will be doing the Olympics myself to catch up.More like getting started.

[HarpistforHim]

Whoa, how fun! I might be on vacation, but I'm hoping to make it!

[indyanna130]

So grateful for this.  I miss the in-person events we used to have.  Always so much fun.

I doubt many people can attend for all the hours of the convention, but for the last on-line convention they recorded the sessions and they were later available via their Facebook page

Yes, sessions will be recorded as we've done for every meet up.  

 

Everything is coming together nicely and I'll be updating this page with final info next week.

@Cheaux Do you know if we have to register for the event? I didn't see anything on the webpage, but I might have missed it.

Sorry for the delay in responding ... been knee deep in Bonanza65 preparation!

 

Here is the website link:

No, you don't have to register first.  The Zoom link will be posted on this site along with the schedule.   When you enter Zoom you'll be placed in a waiting room until Ginger admits you to the main event.   

 

There will be several rooms going on and places for folks to hang out and chat if they're not interested in what's happening in the main room or breakout session(s).  

 

Announcements will be audible in all rooms so you don't miss anything.

 

To @ellen's question earlier, yes the sessions will be recorded for later listening.

 

One important thing is that there will be a poll to see if there is interest in an in-person meeting in 2025 and if so, where.  So be sure and stop by sometime during the weekend to participate in that poll.

 

Hope to see y'all at Bonanza65.  It's FREE!

Bumping this so it's seen.

[AC1830]

Awesome!! I'm gonna be there!! 

[Belle]

I love it! I will do my best to attend.😁

[janet the wicked]

I wish there was an advance questionnaire type thing for the "Ask Andy" portion of the show. Of all these things I've attended, I think I he only answered one of my questions and I've got a humdinger this year. It's about a stunt too.

[ElayneA]

I will try to pop in,more than likely to be very late at night before I go to bed.

If you want to PM me the question, I'll ask him as we're meeting tomorrow.
