Uncle Rod,
You can still attend Prarie Skies SP in which is run by the original A/fest people. It is still held at the same place; camp Shawanasee, in which still holds the same charm. Unfortunately, few if any vendors attend, and attendence is way down to like 3-400 people instead of the 800-1000 it use to draw.
Its still way better then the new A/fest location in which is held in the same reigon, but at a featureless farm right next to a highway that sports speeding automobiles and high-beam headlights.
I use to save my money during the year so when I went to A/fest I not only had fun observing with so many different people through tons and tons of different scopes, but I always came home with a new toy.
Who knows, maybe one day the two sides can for once and all bury the hatchet and do what is right for the astro-community at large.
