I don't believe we are too late. Need to know the driving distance everyone wants to stay at too. Tunica (Mississippi's Las Vegas) is only about 35 miles away. So we got Resort Hotels there too.

This is a list of hotels sponsored by Memphis in May

Okay, in reviewing the dates for all of Memphis in May we have:

The Beale Street Music Festival - May 4 - 6

-and-

Superbowl of Swine (The World Championship barbecue cooking contest) - May 17 - 19


I can check things out when I get a general consensus as to which one would be the favorite of AMHD members.

Hello again:

Me? I'm into swine (don't tell my rabbi). Q is it. While you were busy, I checked the Peabody Hotel. They have a block of rooms available from Friday, the 18th through Sunday, the 20th. We can get a discount if we book more than 20 rooms. The rooms run from $290 - $375 per night, and if we book enough, they'll go down. They have a fine dining restaurant, so we can have a small reception, a cocktail party, a dinner? Whatever.

There's a Holiday Inn and other less expensive accommodations right across the street. That's all I know.

Oh, yes, the Peabody is nice, not just fine dining they have but movie theaters, bowling, all in the complex.

The rooms are nice, EXPENSIVE and SMALL, but you pay for prime location.

For those that may want to gamble, as I said Tunica is right down the road.

I like PIG too. I don't have a Rabbi, so I guess it doesn't matter. LOL

With the tech talent we have, multiple locations could be tele-linked?

Hello val:

I agree. My face could break more than ice.

excon

PS> There's got to be a garlic festival in Indiana, or potato gathering Ohio. I'm game for anywhere. We still have a few people to hear from.

OR we could meet at a GREAT amusement park. There is one near RickJ, I am sure he won't mind some visitors for a weekend!! :p

Oh no, I just realised that means I have to dress up like a tuxedo cat with a giant kleenex box for a hat :eek: Gawd!

Will Wap be there?

Hello:

Been doing a little shopping...

Branson, MO: July 10 - 13, 3 night's accommodation in a full service hotel, round trip airport transportation, unlimited use of city shuttle, 3 full breakfast buffets, 1 full service banquet (dinner).

Double occupancy: $350 a night. Gratuities, service charges and taxes included.

This isn't a BAD deal... So, am I whistling Dixie, or is this going to happen?

excon

Long ride for me on my scooter... but I'll see what I can put together when you get the location set.

Nope not a bad deal, but a little too high on the student nurse pay scale for me.:(
