Default Hiker Christmas Party in Franklin,NC

I am starting to put together plans for the 3rd annual Hikers Christmas & South Bounder Party in Franklin,NC on the 2nd weekend in December so it won't be involved with family get togethers.I have reserved the Franklin Memorial Park & Jaycee's Bldg for the event.

We will be Catering BBQ lunch and Dinner on Saturday December 12th.We will be having lots of people coming in from out of town to Franklin on the Friday night before and leaving Sunday.

There will be no alchohol allowed on the property of the Memorial Park grounds because it is city property but at the motels it is ok.I will be announcing within a few days which motel we will be gathering in the afternoon and nights at but has been both years in the past at Budget Inn.

If you would like to attend you can make reservations with HIKER rates at one of my motels and if you pass thru or stay other places you are still invited to come to it.We are planning a fun hiker weekend and sure hope to see you.

If you plan to attend or have questions you can e-mail me at tiamalle@aol.com or 1(828)524-4403 which is the phone number at Budget Inn.Suggestions welcome,

Gee Ron, Your parties sound so great and I always seem to miss them due to work. I came down for the April Fools party and everyone had gone to sleep. Have fun at Christmas and toss a few for me, the working fool.

I've been holding off planning things for December until The Date was announced. I'll be there...

Looking forward to it, Ron!
