There is no need to call the Show Committee if you do not get a reservation at first try.  This hotel has plenty of rooms. We are confident that in the end, we will have enough rooms in our block for all that want to attend, but our historical data shows that we sell out the reserved hotel space quickly, so please be patient and kind to our volunteers and the hotel staff and we will work with you to try to ensure everyone gets a room.
