All the hotels near Galena tend to be more expensive during that time of year, but you may find something cheaper on the Iowa side of the river. Last year we made the decision out on the deck to keep the venue the same, since it worked out so nicely. Maybe next year we'll find new digs. Gary (Darksider) is definitely the authority on the area, I'm in Chicago, so I really don't have much for you other than what I find on the internet. I can tell you however, that it will be a good time no matter where you stay. Hope you guys can make it!
