Nope, not your phone number .gif "Drogar BigGrin(DBG)")
How many will be coming to the Pig Picking October 11, 2008?
I appreciate all the interest and things are coming along nicely.
We are anticipating a great day and are looking forward to great fellowship with as many wonderful people as can attend!
Please take a moment and drop a note of how many will be coming.
We'll expect extra and a few that can't make it. But hope to try to get a close count.
I will have some pictures posted soon showing the facility.
Any questions, don't wonder - just ask.
Added from original thread; fall gathering in the mountains.... Pig Pickin' Fall gathering in Asheville Saturday October 11th 2008. I'll have the gate open by 8:am And lock it by 10pm. You don't have to come that early or stay that late! Come together and enjoy some time with your fellow woodworkers. The food ought to be ready at 1pm. WNCWA will have their meeting- check their site for time. We will have some demonstrations and participation activities. Nothing too strenuous. This is supposed to be FUN. Hopefully you may learn something along the way. Directions to the facility are - I-26 to exit 37 - Long Shoals Road/NC 146. Turn WEST onto Long Shoals cross the river. (its maybe 100 yards from the interstate). Drive 1 mile and turn right onto Clayton Road (the first road to the right). The site is one mile down Clayton Road. Turn right from Clayton Road into the drive. It will be marked. I'll send out more information if needed. Please drop a note if I can help you with maps, information, accomodations, or anything else. I-26 Exit 37 is 3 miles from the Asheville Airport exit, and 6 miles from I-40. Take I-40 to I-26 east. There is most anything available in the area one might need. The sites of interest are as varied as your interests. In the area are some interesting places to visit - Blue Ridge Parkway Click here: Virtual Blue Ridge Parkway Guide - NC Folk Art Center Click here: Blue Ridge - Folk Art Center - NC Arboretum Click here: The North Carolina Arboretum - WNC Nature Center ( a small zoo of native animals) Click here: Western North Carolina Nature Center, Red Wolf Breeding Program, Animals in Natural Habitats - Biltmore House and Gardens Click here: Visit Biltmore - Biltmore House Any specific questions or requests, please ask and I'll be happy to see how we can help! If we can't find it we'll find out who can. Motels- Quality Inn 828-684-6688 Long Shoals Road at I-26 - closest one. (fairly nice place from the times I 've been to calls there.) Airport Road and I-26 One exit South (3 miles) Comfort Inn - 828-687-9199 Holiday Inn - 828-684-1213 EconoLodge- 828-684-1200 Hampton Inn - 687-0806 Brevard Road and I-26 One exit North (4 miles) Super 8 - 828-670-8800 Hampton Inn - 828-667-2022 Fairfield Inn - 828-665-4242 There are MANY options in the area. These are just the closest. Also if you're local and would like to help....  I like the team concept!! Please check the staff announcement forum and take the poll of how many will be coming. We're getting ready and looking forward to meeting as many as possible! Many have said they're coming PLEASE DO- but take the poll to help us out... http://www.ncwoodworker.net/forums/f...-number-16322/ Last edited by CaptnA; 08-11-2008 at 01:40 PM.

The WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE information ... and I thought somewhere you had recommended some places to stay. |

OK, I added 4 Powells to the poll.
We'll head that way Friday noonish and leave Sunday AM. Are good natured dogs on leashes welcome at the picnic? We found pet friendly accommodations and the pet add-on price is less than my local doggy hotel.
I'd like to do a little crusing if the leaf color timing is decent. Any ideas on routes would be welcome.

I hope it's not too late, Erin and I are gonna be able to make it! Joel might be spending the weekend with his grandparents.
Looking forward to see you all there!
Would it be helpful if I printed off name tags for all who are coming?

I will still be there, I am staying at the day's inn Airport, if anyone is staying and needs to carpool. I will be leaving Salisbury on Friday afternoon and coming back on Saturday afternoon or evening. We are planning on eating dinner somewhere Friday night if anyone is interested.

That's Dave's Ultimate Insanity Sauce and trust me you can stand to wait a little longer to get you butt kicked by it.
