Its a shame we don't get events like this one

http://www.rocklandastronomy.com/neaf.htm

I have been to NEAF for the last 2 years and at $25 for the entire weekend
with exciting guest speakers, previously they have had astronauts and
extremely well known speakers. Then of course there is the Televue Eyepiece
sale on the first morning.

They have all the trade stands and stage the event in a local college. I
wish Astrofest would move to a cheaper and more easily accessible location.
Does anyone know why they charge so much to attend the sessions?
