Go to the Hall County Library site: www.hallcountylibrary.org. On the front page of the site there is a link to the Sitting Up with the Dead site. You will find an application there. Reservations are $10 and must be received by Friday, OCT 6. The library address is 127 Main Street, NW, Gainesville, GA 30501. MAPQUEST can give you distance, directions, and indicate hotels in the area. I'm related to most of Hall County, so I can sleep most anywhere.

I have only been able to connect with one person. Do you need reservations? Does anyone have the physical address for the library, for MapQuest. Is there a reasonably priced hotel or motel close to there? To me this sounds like a fun time.
