ACE Annual Banquet One of the highlights of Coaster Con is our annual banquet. Attendees enjoy a delicious meal, an engaging presentation and a keynote speaker. The banquet is a plated, sit-down dinner that includes your choice of: chicken teriyaki over rice with stir fry vegetables and a fried wonton; ribeye steak (cooked medium) with garlic mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus; or vegetable napoleon and polenta with tomato coulee and marinated artichokes. The menu also includes bread and rolls, green salad, caprese salad and a choice of dessert: chocolate cake with raspberry sauce or fruit tarts. Add the banquet for just $40 per person. Choose your banquet entrée on the registration form. Please note: banquet registration is strictly limited to 200 guests; only the first 200 registrants choosing the banquet option can be accommodated. Banquet registrations will continue to be accepted past the event registration deadline of May 22, 2014, until the banquet capacity of 200 is reached. KIDS' PARTY While parents enjoy the banquet, children ages 3-12 will have a party of their own, with special activities and dinner: hamburger sliders, French fries, and ice cream cups and cookies. The kids' party is for children whose parents are attending the convention and have added the optional banquet to their registration. Make sure to indicate the number of children attending the party on the registration form. The Coaster Con Photo Contest rules are available here. The Coaster Con Video Contest rules are available here.
