We had some money set aside to pay for most of the entry fee, and the offer they gave us at the breakfast spiel(we did a three day stay at Leavenworth this weekend) was the best one we ever got-8000 point level, an extra 8000 points for signing up and an extra 15000 points to our account just for going to the breakfast and listening.

Leavenworth WA, a cute little touristy town with a Bavarian theme going on. Hella drive from Portland, but we invited a friend who likes to take his Tesla X on long trips. ---
