Just a friendly reminder about using your DEBIT CARD to pay for your room at Pheasant Run. DON'T!!!
Just like most hotels, they add an additional fee that will be "refunded" to you after check out.
These hidden fees have been known to cause havoc on a con-goers weekend funds. You have been warned!!!
There was a slight issue at the Pheasant Run this last week with their reservation system, which caused many members problems with booking rooms, but all issues should be resolved now. We suggest that you contact the hotel directly and ask to speak to someone with reservations. Call Tel: 630-584-6300 or the Toll free: 800-4-PHEASANT (800-474-3272) between 8 am and 9 pm daily and tell them you are with DucKon. If you're told there aren't any rooms or if you have any other problems, please get the name with the person you are speaking along, the time/date you called, and what kind of room you wanted then send it to hotel@duckon.org so we can assist you.

A make-it-and-take-it with Anne and Dr Bob Passovoy: Our Fan Guests of Honor will be hosting a panel where they will be constructing "homemade" instruments. If you are interested, you will need to bring a galvanized washtub, a robust mop handle, a reel of heavy-duty cotton clothesline, and 1 1/2 inches of threaded rod. The Passovoy's are also hosting a panel on "The Most Annoying Musical Instrument - Evah". Plan to bring the worst of the worst for a chance at being the worst. Interested in making a ribbon rosette (cockade)? This is a hands-on workshop, teaching how to make ribbon rosettes and cockades for ornamenting hats, horse bridles, campaign rallies, conventions, or any other gatherings. Some ribbon will be available, but if you have particular colors in mind for a project, bring a few yards of stiff, 1"-2" wide ribbon (no wire edging, please). | |||||||||||||||||||
