6TH ANNUAL VOLUNTEER CHAPTER FALL MEET BEREA KY. SEPTEMBER 19TH - 21ST, 2014


Lonnie and Geraldine Reppert along with Rick and Tricia Cox of Reppert Funeral Home will be hosting our 6th Annual Fall Meet in Berea, Kentucky again this year. Early arrivals on Friday will meet at the funeral home located at 110 North Broadway for a evening meal at one of our favorite local restaurants--PapaLeno's .

On Saturday, we start the day out early with breakfast on your own, then a meeting at the funeral home at 9am. We will drive a short distance to tour Cox Funeral Home (The owner, Buddy Cox, has recently restored and is using for service a 1959 S&S Victoria hearse. plus he will have his family's horse drawn available for photos), then proceed back to Berea to participate in the Spoonbread Festival Parade (run those lights and sirens to your heart's content!!). After the parade we will display our vehicles for the public to view at the funeral home. A close downhill walk to the venue where the Spoonbread Festival is being held (hot air balloon rides, over 100 vendor booths plus live band entertainment) will then allow us to take in our own PCS member, Larry Sanders and his band, Borderline, performing from 4 - 5pm! After the concert, the Repperts will be providing a very nice catered meal!! There are also several antique shops very close to the funeral home and all have very reasonable prices.

For those that wish to stick around on Sunday, the Spoonbread Festival Car Show invites our attendees back again this year. Registration cost is $15 and you may come back with a trophy! Rick will ensure you get a Car Show T-Shirt and Goody Bag for registering.

IMPORTANT: If you are planning on staying overnight (either Friday or Saturday)--our designated meet hotel is the same as last year's (Jeremy and LeeAnn recommended)....the Red Roof Inn (formerly the Country Inn & Suites) located just off Interstate 75 at Exit 77. Contact them ASAP and mention PCS to receive our discounted rate of $69 per night. Rooms were going FAST due to the festival so they recommend reserving them early.
