There may be tables already in one of the Fontana facilities. I would recommend giving Fontana a call (or asking at the front desk when you get there) if there are ping-pong tables available. I seem to remember seeing them somewhere last year.

Just called again. They have two tables and they are located in the Adventure Center. This is in the same room as where the large dinners are held. They should be available during the day to use. I wouldn't count on using them Thursday, we have alot of stuff to set up for the Welcome Dinner. Friday is the Brewswap, don't think Matt will need as much set up time as the Welcome dinner.

They said they are kinda of old also. So I don't know if they could be moved to another location. I guess we can see how the event calendar fills up and if it looks like there is always something going on in the adventure center, we can ask if they can relocate them.

If you really want to do this I'd suggest bringing paddles if ya got em and some *****. It's going to be the beginning of the season at Fontana and that stuff seems to be missing from hotel rec rooms often. I'll try to remember to look at WalMart next time I'm in one. If they've got some cheap paddles maybe I'll pick up some and ***** for the 'cause'.
