So, here's the schedule...

...which looks to be filled with all things Catan (as it should be).

I'm not much of a tournament guy (though I ran a number of Catan tournaments back in the day), but there are lots of other things to do as well.

For those of us within driving distance, this sounds like a great weekend. (I'll be covering it for the Opinionated Gamers blog... and bringing my younger son along on Saturday, who loves pretty much everything Catan.)

If you're a blog reader, look for me there and say "Hi!" Maybe we can get in a game!
