If you have other questions or comments, please send them to Annie Roberts at aroberts@venthavenmuseum.net . 1. Do you take credit cards for registration? We are thinking about the possibility of credit cards in the future but have no plans to do this at the present time. 2. I'm an international conventioneer, how can I pay for registration? You can mail an International Money Order with your registration, or you can wait to register once you arrive at the Drawbridge. The Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport has a Fifth Third Bank branch in the airport that will exchange international currency. It is located in Delta Concourse B near gate B11 and across from Borders books. For more information about currency exchange, contact Fifth Third's airport branch at 859-647-5473. CINCINNATI/NORTHERN KENTUCKY AIRPORT (TERMINAL 3, Delta
Terminal) Monday-Sunday 7:30am-8:00pm EST If you plan to wait and register when you arrive, be sure to go ahead and make your hotel reservation with the Drawbridge Inn at 1-800-354-9793. 3. What is the Day Rate of $50 per person? The Day Rate is if you can only attend the convention for a day or two and not the entire session. You can pay for just those days. Your badge will reflect when you have paid to attend and give you admittance for those times only. 4. Can I audio/videotape during the convention? Flash photography, audio, or video recording of any kind during lectures or performances is strictly prohibited except for approved media people who will be wearing Media Badges. 5. How many dealers will be there? We provide two full dealers rooms with approximately 26 dealers. Many dealers take credit cards, especially those that sell figures. Cash and checks are acceptable as well. A list of the dealers attending will be released closer to convention time when all the tables have sold. 6. What will the weather be like and how should I dress? Casual, comfortable clothes are most appropriate. The Drawbridge is air-conditioned so if that tends to make you chilly, you might want to bring a sweater/sweatshirt to the sessions. Shorts, jeans, khakis are all appropriate. Comfort is most important. The tours of Vent Haven are typically quite warm. Kentucky in July tends to be hot with daytime temperatures typically ranging in the 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Although the museum buildings are air-conditioned, they are small and heat up fast with the large convention crowds. Dress to be hot for the tours. 7. Are there any events or shows open to the public? No. All activities are for registered attendees only. However, you CAN purchase a single day convention pass and receive admittance to all activities on that day. The pass is $50. For the general public, Saturday would be the recommended day to purchase a single day pass, as the $50 price would include the Big Saturday Night Show, a tour of Vent Haven Museum, and three workshops. Upon registration, you receive a name badge which is your ticket to all events. 8. If I bring my family, what can they do while I'm attending the convention? Please click on the Bring the Family link for ideas about activities in the Greater Cincinnati area. 9. Is Vent Haven Museum open during the convention? Only during the Bus Tours scheduled for Saturday from 1-4pm. Sign-ups to ride the bus over to Vent Haven are available during Registration. If you have a car and would like to drive yourself, directions to the museum are printed on the convention schedule. Parking is limited. Non-flash photography is permitted at Vent Haven but only for personal use. In order to publish pictures of Vent Haven Museum including internet publishing, blogs, and picture-sharing websites, you must get written permission from Vent Haven Museum in advance at www.venthavenmuseum.net. 10. How can I get a Group Photo? Starting in 2006, the Group Photos will no longer be sold at Registration. It will be available online through the Vent Haven ConVENTion website. Anyone who would like a copy can download it and get it printed in your hometown. If you use www.walmart.com, you can get an 8x10 printed for less than $3. Instructions for this process will be posted on the ConVENTion website along with the downloadable picture.
