I was thinking the same thing. But I assume this was already explored and they probably were one of the ones that raised their prices significantly. Not sure why though.
No response from them as of yet.
Honestly it has merit. I assume you've been there personally ? It's near your place if I'm thinking of the right spot. I pass ragging waters on my way to church if that's where it is.
I've looked for pictures only found 2 halfway decent pics of the actual pavilion are for 400 people. As well. I'm guessing the one with 400 capacity would likey have alot more available tables. It might make for a weird layout but probably workable. Kinda guessing here as the other. Other Pics I saw are from a good distance away and doesn't show the full area for 400 as a moderate range to see everything with adquate detail.
With the grills it makes sense to cook up some burgers and dogs making it a picnic in addtion to a swap.
At a cheaper price The one for 100 people might work if there is seating for 100 people. Than we would just have to coordinate to get people to bring folding tables to do the actual swaping on.
If you seen them both in person any personal thoughts on which would be adquate?
I'll have to see if this is something that I could just show up to the park and check out Sunday assuming there is no special permission needed to enter the park and the area these would be located.
I won't say confirmed yet but I personally like this option if it's in the very near future.
I Will still look for some in door options ad well. Yet thanks @popper it really had some potential and decent price point.

Yep, it's right next to raging waters. I've done a bit of grilling and chilling at the smaller picnic areas by the lake. Overall, I think it's pretty nice, but I would check it out for yourself. No special permission needed, but there is there is a parking fee of $5-10 for every car. Also, a lot of goose poop lol.
I wouldn't say de Anza would be out of budget yet, doing quick math in my head counting tables chairs, fee for event baseline, the hourly rental rate and adding parking, even more if they would force us to hire a police officer. It would likely be at the high end in terms of price adding everything up. Maybe around anywhere from1800- 2500 depending on the specifics selected. This wouldn't include the cost of food drinks etc. So probably just under 3k would be a fair estimate
.
The McEnery Convention center you mentioned l, I had to search it up. The place looks huge considering the sizenof our event. However they seem to have multiple rooms and options available. I couldn't find clear prices anywhere yet looking at pictures it seems fairly upscale. So this possibility would probably be determined by what options your co worker responds with.

Been there every month for kids skate bike park playground. Never caught any fish but I still try.
There is a parking $6 posted i think. , but so far ranger havent checked. Other cars also don't pay .
Cascade is huge.
Ill take picture tomorrow or this weekend when we return to Action Sports bike skate park.

Call me crazy, but planning an outdoor frag swap in San Jose/East Bay seems like a dicey decision in late spring or early summer unless you want to risk having coral stew. Even in the shade with the possibility of 90-100F temp for 2-4 hours will probably make a decent number of containers filled with some nice brown, smelly water. I'd personally avoid planning for a swap outdoors in the spring and summer.
