We are looking for a venue similar to Snyder’s Restaurant with the following criteria:

• Seating 50 – 75
• Private meeting room
• On-site catering under $30/person including the meeting room
• Ample on-site parking
• Easy access to major highways

Note that Red Brick Station and Williamsburg Inn have been used in the past and were found to be less than satisfactory because of the meeting room conditions.

We are looking forward to your suggestions.

The Fair is now operated by the non-profit Baltimore Science Fair Foundation and is additionally sponsored by the following organizations: Towson University, Lockheed Martin Corp., Baltimore County Public Schools, Constellation Energy Group, and Howard Co Public Schools. The Baltimore Section of ASQ is a contributing supporter.
