Downings VA has to be the hottest convention ever. Humidity near the Chespeake. You will roast! Plus side..boys in the sleeping quarters wear shorts and go shirtless between meetings so you might get to see a handsome guy going to the restroom!

If the guys are hot, are the girls too?
Maybe in 9 months we will see a giant explosion in 2x2 population! ;D

Is there any air conditioning or some way of cooling folks off?

Maybe the workers need to spend more money on air conditioning. It wouldn't cost that much to air condition some of these grounds....or move the August conventions into September/October time range.
Heat isn't a problem in Jackson, Fosters, or Knoxville for the most part. Occasionally you do have hot spells in the fall.

Are they preaching Christ and him crucified and resurrected?

Are they preaching Christ and him crucified and resurrected? You should have drove up and checked it out. Then you wouldn't have to ask questions. Yes, it was very hot. Some of my crew passed out from the heat as we made our way up the Rappahannock River. We anchored just out of sight and rowed a small party up to the farm under cover of darkness. We infiltrated the convention and feasted on convention food for four days. We made a tent out of a spare sail and camped near some rather wild 2x2 boys. Everyone just thought we were part of their crew, and in all honesty, we looked a bit more professing than they did, although we didn't fit in very well with the southern gents with their starched shirts and starched hair. We did attract the attentions of some of the "hot" women, at least until they got downwind of us and had a whiff of our nautical aroma. The beans and weenies served on Saturday evening kind of quelled any romantic thoughts that the rest had for each other that night. I wonder if that was part of the meal planning strategy?

Those hot convention goers aren't paying much attention unless the workers tell a story or chastise the friends.

Oh, Brick, you know you snuck in just to filch the forks and knives to use as cannon fodder for your next battle with Davy Jones!

They're all plastic now, m'dear. And the evening snack was not as good as I recall from the days of our youth.

What is the logic of roasting in 95-100F weather in a hot shed or tent without air conditioning. Old folks could have a heat stroke. Friday will be really hot at Sharon and Salvisa.
Workers wonder why people have to get up and leave during the hymn after testimonies and before the last speaker speaks. If you have to drink water, you have to let go of some body fluids.
When there is a HEAT ADVISORY, people are encouraged to remain inside air conditioned facility. Maybe the local churches would donate some air conditions to the grounds? Charity groups. Why do the workers believe in roughing it in 2007?
