NEWSFLASH - OCTOBER 8, 2008
DESTINATION:

NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND
Yes, indeed, the site for the 2009 House of Peers and Harmony Kingdom convention
is in the northeastern United States! Newport, Rhode Island
as a matter
of fact—home of the Atlantic Kingdom Addicts collectors club.

The HK House of Peers, in conjunction
with Harmony Kingdom, is pleased
to announce PASSPORT TO THE KINGDOM, an event in a part of the country steeped in history and now a playground for the well-connected folk. The Newport Harbor Hotel and Marina will be the host hotel. Located on Aquidneck Island in the city of Newport, state of Rhode Island, the event will be from October 30—November 1, 2009; Halloween weekend.
Halloween! To be sure, the witches and goblins of yore were not treated kindly by folk in the day!
Plan on arriving early on Wednesday, October 28, 2009, to help kick off this great weekend as the Atlantic Kingdom Addicts will be hosting a reception for everyone; to greet old friends and welcome new ones to the HK group. HOP is planning optional outings on Thursday, October 29, that will take advantage of the plentiful offerings surrounding Newport. Details will be provided in January.
A fun-filled weekend is being planned for all Harmony Kingdom collectors. We will have games, artist signings, event pieces, a Swap 'n Sell, the ever-popular Lucky Dip, door prizes, raffles, and an auction for rare Harmony Kingdom pieces. We begin on Friday with an afternoon of games, artist signings, and the Lucky Dip. Friday night join us for a Regatta Dinner; dressed in your most nautical blue and white apparel. Saturday will feature more artist signing, the Paint-Your-Own, and Swap 'n Sell, followed by the Halloween reception, costume contest, and a charity fundraiser Carnival Night. Sunday will begin with a breakfast buffet, followed by raffle drawings, a charity auction, and the awarding of event prizes.
Our most favorite gremlin, Master Carver Peter Calvesbert, will be in attendance. Peter has modified a treasured older piece; The Big Day, by honoring the Halloween weekend in Another Big Day.
The cost of the event is $240 per person, at the full Collector level. If you register by February 14, 2009, you will receive the Early Bird figurine, Another Big Day, at no cost. You must make a minimum $100 deposit by February 14, 2009, with the balance paid by April 1, 2009. We are also offering an Associate registration for spouses, friends, and children at $150, as long as at least one person is registered as a Collector. Independent club or Royal Watch membership is not required for attendance.
The host hotel is The Newport Harbor Hotel and Marina in Newport, and, yes, it is on the water. The cost per standard room is $159 per day, plus taxes, for the event and $149, plus taxes, for the days leading up to and after the event.
What are you getting for your fee? See our EVENTS SCHEDULE for the weekend. In addition to entry to all activities, Collectors will receive an event box figurine carved by Peter Calvesbert, in addition to the Early Bird figurine Another Big Day, if qualified, plus an extra surprise figurine. Fees also include the Regatta Dinner, Halloween Reception, and Sunday breakfast. There are many opportunities to win in the contests and games throughout the weekend. Everyone receives a "Goodie" bag and can enjoy the delightful goodies in the Hospitality Suite.
