The 17th International Convention
for the Sons Of The Desert will be held in Sacramento, California on June 17th
to 20th, 2010. For those of you who have never attended a "Sons" convention, this will be a great opportunity
for you to be a part of a tradition that began in 1978. For those of you who have attended past conventions, it will
be a chance to renew some friendships from previous conventions. Please check the link to Another
Fine Mess Tent, the convention host website, with information, a video
and reservation forms: http://www.afmoasis49.com/convention.html NOTE:
Earlybird Registration has been extended to March 15, 2010
This will be the first Sons Of
The Desert convention held in California since 1980 and will feature Laurel & Hardy theme banquets such as "Them
Thar Hills", "The Bullfighters" and a farewell "Honolulu
Baby" brunch. The traditional highlights such as the Pee Wee contest (as demonstrated by Stan in March Of The Wooden Soldiers), The Laurel & Hardy Team Trivia Contest, the passing of the pineapple to
the next convention host and the Dealer's Room, where delegates from around the USA and the world have Laurel & Hardy
memorabilia for sale. An optional two day pre-convention tour will take place on June 14th and 15th.
If you
decide to attend, don't forget to book your hotel reservations at the Holiday Inn - Capitol Plaza
in addition to registering for the convention. Mention
the special Sons Of The Desert convention rate of $125
per night. The hotel reservations
must
be made separately as they are NOT included in the convention registration.
Convention applications can be printed
out from the Another Fine Mess Tent website. We'll also have some at our next
Early To Bed Tent meeting on April 17th.

Don't forget to check out the convention video at the top of this page, under the convention logo. Hope
to see many Early To Bed Tent members in attendance at the
convention next year.
