Site Operations & Improvements for Estrella War 2000
February 16-21, 2000 Queen Creek, AZ
Dear Friends,
In order to dispel rumors and give factual information to all, here's the latest regarding Estrella War 2000. Our staff has worked long and hard these past few months, and continues to be committed to creating an outstanding event for all our attendees to enjoy and remember. Please contact us or our deputies for further questions, or visit our Website: www.Estrellawar.org.
What Site Improvements have been made?
(A) Dust Control - This year the site owner has planted winter grass in the main camping field and has been watering it regularly. It is green - pictures will be posted on our Website. It was decided by our Autocrats, the Crown and our Atenveldt Kingdom Financial Committee to dedicate a large number of funds to improve the site. This was our number one priority, and is part of our contract with the site owner.
Arrangements have also been put in place for two "water trucks" to be making numerous passes on the interior roads prior and during the event, to help minimize the traffic dust on the interior roads. Please keep in mind, in order for the trucks to make these passes; driving on the grass will again be restricted to quick loading and unloading.
(B) Amenities- This year the contract and budget for amenities has also been greatly increased. More porta-johns (regular & handicapped) will be on site, more pumping and more cleaning daily, and handwashing stations will be with each station.
(C) Camping Space- With the changes in the War Treaty, all heavy weapons fighting scenarios will take place in the improved Battle Pit. This freed up one half of the NE field of the site for more overflow camping. The site layout will be designed by Kingdoms, with large maps prominently displayed at Troll, Security & Merchants Point.
(D) Directions, Information & Signs - We realized parking and road signs needed to be created and more clearly defined parking issues were in order. The Far West lot will once again be the primary parking lot. We understand the inconvenience. The perimeter parking will be primarily restricted to handicapped parking only. The lot north of the Grand Court will be limited to handicapped and Merchant Parking only. Dash cards will be issued at the Troll, and these parking restrictions will be enforced.
These restrictions will be posted clearly in the forms of 1) Maps posted, 2) Map published in the Gate Book, and 3) Road signs. It is VERY LIKELY you WILL be towed for failure to follow these restrictions.
Please come prepared - Most of us are city dwellers, going from our climate controlled homes, to our climate controlled vehicles to our climate controlled places of employment or colleges, suddenly thrust into a dirty, smoky
