Fwd: Holmes in the Heartland Registration is NOW OPEN

[Max Magee]

Hey all,

The last time HitH was held, it was a wonderful and exciting experience (with torrential rain and a crazy heatwave but lots of fun). The speakers were great, I was introduced to Jon and Linda for the first time officially, and it really was a fun adventure. I also remember we were reading Nine Tailors at the time because I had to turn the audiobook of it off so I wouldn't fall asleep and drive off the road. See below!

I'm planning on attending—it's one of those once-in-a blue moon (don't miss it) opportunities like the Minnesota Conferences and the upcoming Chicago festivities! I'll have a couple of seats (at least) to lend to folks who would like to ride-along.

Max
