Dear Fellow Clowns

We’re looking forward to a great convention and competition for CSSCA 2018 and hope to see everyone there. The competitions will be held at the Hilton Convention Center in the Cooper rooms.

Enclosed you will find materials needed for registration. Please make copies as needed for the clowns in your unit. You may also read and download the registration packet, forms and get late breaking news and information from the CSSA2018 website at www.cssca2018.com under the Events / Events by Unit tab.

During the business meeting the ladies are invited to a rendezvous at Black Oak Grill. It is within walking distance of the conference center. The patio and event room has been reserved. There will be a cash bar and food menu (happy hour priced drinks).

This year rather than have a sit-down banquet, we will have the awards ceremony in the Cooper Room and then have an Afterglow at the Paddlewheel Bar and Grill, (less than half a mile away) with finger foods and a cash bar. The fees for the convention and, competition and afterglow are as follows:

Early registration (letters post-marked July 31st or earlier) $75.00 – per Clown and Lady for Competition and Afterglow

Late registration (letters post-marked August 1st or later, or for Walk-up registrations) $95.00 – per Clown and Lady for Competition and Afterglow

Guest for the Afterglow $10.00 – per non-competing Clown or guest (must have ticket to enter)

Note for non-competing Clowns and guests: The Afterglow will be limited. Registered competing Clowns and their Ladies will have first priority. Non-competing Clowns, their Ladies, and other guests will be confirmed approximately 2 weeks before the competition. If you are requesting tickets for guests and non-competing clowns, please include your payment separately from the competing clowns, and it will be held until their reservation is confirmed. Requests for tickets for guests and non-competing clowns will be honored in the order they are received.

Sincerely, Yours in the Faith,

Troy “Clyde” Glasgow President, CSSCA 2018
