The planning committee has had to take a lot of things into consideration as we move forward with our planning. We've had some "speed bumps" in the road and have had to make some changes to the venue and food.
As it turns out, the Farmer's Market was double booked for May 22nd. Furthermore, we were not thrilled with the prices for food that we were getting from Sullivan's. In today's economy, we could not reasonably expect each of you to fork over $50 each to attend. And with the cost of the Sullivan's meal and the venue, we were quickly approaching that mark. So...
We have decided to hold the event at "Friends at the Cove", a restaurant off Hwy. 187 in Anderson. It is a bit of ways out of town, we know, but we feel that the price points and the location (right on Hartwell Lake) will make up for the bit of a drive. Now, we can have a great meal and a great location (indoors, too!) for what we hope is less than $30 a person.
Keeping our ticket prices down will depend a lot on the number of people who attend. That's why we are trying to plan so early and make sure that everyone is informed. So, please put May 22nd on your calendars and start saving your money. Pre-registration will begin sometime around January and those who register early will receive a discounted price. In the meantime, please comment below or drop a line on Facebook and let us know if you are planning to attend. That way, we can set the price as close to our costs as possible.
We also welcome any constructive criticism and other suggestions.
Thanks!
