Trying to plan what to bring for my first time at the Confab...so wondering if food needs to be brought along or not?
The Fly-In NOTAM for this year hasn't been published yet, but attached is the 2016 NOTAM which answers most questions a first-timer might have. There's a section about FOOD. The offerings are similar each year. If you're a picky eater or have special diet requirements, you can always use the free shuttle van rides to go to the restaurants in town. A group of people usually rode the van into town to eat breakfast then called the driver's phone to pick them up when they were done eating.
There's a Walmart in town and the van goes there quite often. You can go there and buy items that you forgot or didn't want to pack.
