There is already a costuming thread for MHC, but I thought talking about Zombies and food in the same thread might get disturbing and confusing. 
After careful consideration, I really don't care what we decide to feed the smelly masses.

Well, since I decided to take point for this project, I better keep tabs on this thread. What time of day would we like? Mid-morning (breakfast/brunch) or afternoon (dinner/dessert/snacks)?

You have the most people there Saturday evening, and it's traditionally been the time we're there. But I say late afternoon to early evening would work best. Gives everyone a chance to get there, and lets us out early for reveling.

At the meeting it was decided that Saturday is the only day that will work. 0biwannabe is looking into the available times.
I'm voting for taters. I think it will be the easiest.

I'm voting for breakfast...cause everybody loves breakfast.
And you don't have to make a hot, difficult to cook breakfast. Eggs precooked and kept warm in a crock pot, precooked bacon kept warm, flour tortillas (that don't have to be kept warm), salsa, donut holes, OJ, precooked pancakes in a crock pot, cereal...many available options.
However, I think the ultimate decision lies with AR since he's point man.

I think the potato bar would easiest as well. I was at KS on Sunday and looked. A bag of potatoes was $3.50.
How many people do we need to plan for?

Same as always: A lot, or as many as we can feed. How many potatoes are enough?

The # is something like 150, I can try to find last years RootBeer #'s.
Butter, Broccoli, nacho cheese (a can at sam's club is less then $6), salsa, jalapenos, chili for sure! I had some other toppings in mind but can't remember.

LAST YEARS RULES - Things could change, but here are some quidelines until we get the new info.
Basic ConSuite (Party Room) Guidelines
Your group provides the food:
There are no real requirements as to type or quantity, but….
Plan to provide enough food to feed approximately 150-200 ravenous people
Time slots are generally reserved in 2-hour blocks
MileHiCon provides the beverages:
A wide variety of soda, regular & decaf coffee, and a variety of tea
There is absolutely No Alcohol Allowed in the ConSuite
THE CONSUITE AT MILEHICON RUNS 24-HOURS ONCE OFFICIALLY OPENED.
HOURS ARE
Friday: open by 6 p.m. (earlier if the gods smile on us!)
Sunday: close at 6 p.m.
I would like to encourage sponsors to consider all time blocks, including late night blocks.
Why not run a special event during late-night time blocks? There is minimal programming to conflict with during the wee hours. You would probably generate a good turnout.
THE MAIN BLOCKS USUALLY REQUESTED BY SPONSORS ARE:
Friday: 6 – 8 p.m.
Saturday: 8 a.m. (breakfast stuff) to 6 p.m. The Masquerade and Literacy Auction run Saturday evening, and generally pull everyone at the con, so would be a poor choice for ConSuite sponsorship.
Sunday: 8 a.m. to 12 noon. Critter Crunch, Art Auction, and Closing Ceremonies tend to make Sunday afternoon a poor choice.
SPONSORSHIP TERMS ARE PRETTY BASIC:
1. There is a $40.00 refundable* deposit if your request is received prior to September 30th.
After that date, the refundable deposit will be $50.00, and require special processing.
(*Refundable only if you show up with adequate food.)
2 Sponsorship is usually for a two (2) hour block, which is what is scheduled.
3 All food items will be cleared from the ConSuite prior to your sponsorship block with one exception: MHC will continue to maintain the beverages (soda, coffee, tea, hot water, etc.).
4 The MHC ConSuite is strictly non-alcoholic.
5 Do not bring popcorn (it’s messy and a real pain to clean up!).
6 The Sponsor (you/your group) is responsible for providing everything else [food, utensils (eating, drinking, opening & serving), napkins, plates, serving trays, food warmers, etc.].
7 The MHC prep area, The Galley, will not be available for use by Sponsors. This includes dry or refrigerated storage prior to your block…there simply isn’t enough room! Sorry.
8 The ConSuite Sponsor is asked to initiate cleanup fifteen minutes prior to the end of their 2-hour block. This is especially important if another sponsor is scheduled immediately after.
9 Electrical power and usage is a tricky beast at best: I recommend that Sponsors use their hotel room(s) for prep and bring food in already heated, if any kind of cooking/heating is necessary.
TRADITIONAL MAIN PROGRAMMING ITEMS:
1. Opening Ceremonies: usually 7-7:30-ish on Friday evening.
2. Masquerade/Costume Contest/Literacy Auction: 7:30/8 – 10/10:30 p.m. Saturday.
3. Critter Crunch: 1st round Sunday 10 a.m. –ish; Final round: Sunday 3 p.m. –ish after Art Auction.
4. Art Auction: usually 1 p.m. –ish.
5. Closing Ceremonies: 3 p.m. –ish.
Let me know what time slot you are interested in, if it’s available I will try to pencil you in. However, confirmation is not made until receipt of the deposit. The check must be received NO LATER THAN October 1, and preferably by September 1.
