New Venue for 2013! 

Exciting new changes are in store!   



We have shared this information several times, so please forgive the repetitiveness, but it's important to keep these great new features of our crops at the forefront of everyone's mind!

Starting with our February crop, our new hotel will be the Hyatt Dulles, located right at the intersection where the Dulles Toll Road and Route 28 meet. We chose to stay in the Dulles area as that seems to work well for our croppers and helps to keep our prices as low as possible.

The Hyatt is an almost new facility, built in 2009, that offers many new and luxurious amenities, allowing us to truly give you the premiere cropping experience! Crops Plus is stepping it up! Some of the many benefits of the new location include:
  • Ergonomic "18 hour" chairs
  • Extended crop times. Crops now end at 4pm on Sundays. 
  • More food - additional Sunday snack 
  • Spacious and clean facility washroom
  • Dedicated private classroom
  • Brewed Starbucks served at meals and snacks 
  • Vendors all in one room, just across the hall from the crop room
  • Massage therapist on the same floor in private room 
  • Executive suite hotel rooms with sitting areas and pull out sofas for just $89/night
  • Ability to book the rooms online through links that will be easily accessible on our website 
  • Truly gourmet meals with great variety that can be catered to specific needs
  • Continued Valet Service
  • Temperature controlled environment with purified air and fresh oxygen circulation
  • A lovely bar area
  • Gorgeous modern facility
  • Lap pool with an updated and large gym
  • Electricity wired to each table grouping
  • Free internet in ballroom and hotel rooms
  • Crop room doesn't close (as long as someone still wants to crop!)
  • 5 catered buffet meals and 5 snack breaks as well as unlimited soda, water and tea available all day  
We are confident that you will love the new facility as much as we do. We've already had several croppers in to look at the space and it has met with their seals of approval.

We're very excited about these new changes and hope that you will be able to join us in 2013!

Craft Show: Thank You! 

Thank you for supporting a good cause!  

 
On December 8th, a craft show was held in honor of a dear friend, Linda Jo Boan, whom we lost in early October of last year. All the proceeds (A whopping $1,500 was raised!) went directly to HART Animal Rescue, a cause close to Linda's heart. While there, I saw many of you supporting this worthwhile cause. Thank you for your support!
