Kathy and Mason plan on attending. last year's was a lot of fun. Reserved rooms today. Not certain if the heavily accented clerk really knew the score or not, but was told blocked rooms are gone already. I used my AAA account and got reserved For $94.00/night which is still not bad. Called Fairfield Inn again (08/16/11). Spoke with a very pleasant young lady and now have the Mini group rate of $86.00/ night.  |

Glad to see you chose distilleries that were not on Bourbon Run III. Remind everyone to bring their Trail Passport from last year to get that free T-shirt. Unfortunately we had already found and reserved $80 Airtran flight to Tampa to visit our son for a week. Have fun. Dale and Roni
