Thanks for the info. This is the state conference. Glad to hear it's something worthwhile for kids. I plan to go Friday and then we'll do the family thing on Friday night and Saturday. Although there is a free all day seminar the same day at the local public library on homeschooling. Talk about a conflict. I don't plan to homeschool, but maybe it makes sense to learn more about what's required and what it takes in our state. Maybe send DH and DS to the conference, and I go to the library.
