STL FTers are planning an FT Do in STL for next year. There's lots to do in STL, and there are certain fun things involving aviation and/or baseball available that we think you all would like.

So your feedback is requested. Could you tell us:

1) If you're interested

2) Of these three 2007 weekends, does one work better than the others for you? Memorial Day, Labor Day, and the weekend of Sept 14. All three weekends feature Cards home stands, the weekend of 9/14 the opponent is the Cubs. The 9/14 weekend also includes the very beautiful and fun Balloon Glow in Forest Park, on the Friday evening, followed the next day by a big balloon race. Labor Day may include a wonderful Air Show, details will be known by Dec. A local FTer has good connections with this airshow and will be able to get us various upgrades for it.

3) What activities are you interested in? Baseball, Air Show, Balloon Glow/Races, Zoo (free and fabulous), Museums (free and fabulous), Brewery Tour (free beer), Grant's Farm Tour (Free beer, exotic animals in natural settings), the Arch (a must see), Riverboat tour, gambling, blues clubs, dining, anything else?

4) There is a party room package available at Busch Stadium that includes free beer and bar snacks and a private party room, but checks in at $82/ticket (more for Cubs and Saturdays). Is this too expensive or can you drink enough free beer to make it worthwhile?

5) Any hotel preferences? Would you rather have one host hotel, or everyone for himself? Would you rather stay downtown (pricier) or at airport hotels where you can Metrolink in for the fun?

Thanks very much for your help!

Love, the nervous planners of the inaugural STL DO
