That proposal looks good.
To help with the hotel rate, you can negotiate a smaller number of reserved rooms (say 30 with a commitment of 15 or something like that).
I would suggest that there is a minimal amount that you should make non-refundable (say $35-$40) so that if people cancel you can still have minimal costs covered.
You’ve got the typical Fest stuff covered off. Socializing, technical (wrenching), learning (how-tos), eating, driving(rally/autocross/fire drill), show ‘n’ shine.
I would suggest that you have vendors donate something for the raffle in lieu of charging them a fee (we did this at 2003 and I believe that it was also at 2004) and also have them run some special pricing for the weekend so that attendees benefit. No vendors had any issues with this at the 2003 Fest.
Let me know if I can help from up here in Canada!
