usually does not fill up quickly so I'm taking deposits with registration.

I will confirm registration by email and
Ravelry.

Cancellation Policy
·
All registrations include a $50 non-refundable deposit.
That is half of your initial deposit of $100.
·
If you cancel before October 1, 2019 then I will
refund your retreat registration less a $50 deposit.
·
After October 1, 2019 refunds are on a case by
case basis, dependent upon what expenses can be recovered, whether your place
can be filled, etc. I understand that things happen and will do what I can to
refund your money.
Notes:
·
The closest airport is General Wayne A Downing
International Airport (Peoria=PIA). I recommend flying in on Tuesday unless you
rent a car and can drive yourself to Eagle Crest.
·
Wednesday morning and early afternoon will be a
great time to visit Washington IL and our local yarn shops; or stay later on
Saturday if you like.
·
Meals are served buffet style. Last year our
chef accommodated special diets. As this position is subject to change I cannot
promise this will be the situation, but I will be certain to let you know if it
changes.
·
If you are staying over before or after the
retreat, I recommend Sleep Inn.
Sleep Inn 1101 N Cummings Lane,
Washington IL 61571 (309) 481-0450
·
If you have a knitting related- business, please
contact me about vending, please let me know.
·
The dining hall and meeting area are about a 15
minute walk (on a curvy road) from the Heartland Lodge Rooms so most of us
drive to and from the lodge rooms. Other than that, everything is very close
and all on one level. If you don't have a car, there are plenty of us who can
give you a ride to the lodge.
This is our 4th year at Eagle Crest and I look forward to another wonderful and relaxing retreat!
Haste ye back!
