I wanted to jump in a say that there is some really nice hotels/motels at the Ringgold exit. When I got married in September, we stayed at one there. The Fort would be the closest though. Please bring any material that you feel might be of interest to others. Last year, I had 3 trips to my car to get everything out and I will bring it again this year. We also had some books for sale and I know they have them at the Lee-Gordon Mill available for sale. I do not expect out of towners to bring a covered dish but perhaps a bucket of chicken, soft drinks, paper plates or such would be great. I am here if you have nay more questions. See Ya Linda Sue
