If you have attended VSC during the past three years, you will be receiving in the mail (by the first week in October, 2008) the VSC XXI flyer, your own personal copy so to speak. It acts as a reminder and gets you thinking about VSC 21. Again pre-registration is required so please read the instructions on the flyer when it comes out carefully. I highly recommend that you place the flyer in plain sight (like the fridge) so you do not forget about sending in the registration portion of the flyer.

A place for your E:Mail address is provided for you to fill in if you have one. Jim Hoffman will use it to send you conformation that your entry fees have been received.

All contestants entering VSC 21 are required to sign the entry form where indicated. Please do not forget to do this.

Contestants who will be camping and spending the 4 or 5 nights in Christopher Columbus Park will need to provide the State and License Number on the RV, Camper, ETC. A place for this information is provided on the entry form. We need this information to give to Parks and Rec. so that the authorities do not ask you to leave at a late evening hour.
