4th Annual Volunteer Chapter Fall Meet Berea KY
September 21st - 23rd, 2012


Lonnie and Geraldine Reppert along with Rick and Tricia Cox of Reppert Funeral Home will be hosting our 4th 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 the excellent local restaurants.

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 the Battlefield Park (site of most of the Civil War fighting around Richmond) , tour Oldham, Roberts & Powell Funeral Home (horse drawn hearse), 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 as we meet and kick off the beginning of the newest PCS Chapter--the Bluegrass Chapter!!

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 Country Inn & Suites located just off Interstate 75 at Exit 77. Contact them ASAP and mention PCS or Reppert Funeral Home to receive our discounted rate of $59 per night. Rooms were going FAST due to the festival so they recommend reserving them within the next day or two. Hotel telephone number: (859) 228-0340.

Please RSVP to Rick Cox via PM at this site, rickstevecox@yahoo.com, or call him at (859) 986-3165 by September 15 if you think you will be attending.

Directions: Reppert Funeral Home -- Interstate 75 take Exit 76. The funeral home is on the left as you travel toward downtown Berea. Exactly one mile from the exit on the left is North Broadway. The Funeral Home has an unique castle appearance with a round turret in front. Call us if you have any difficulties locating it at (859) 986-3165.

Thanks to Rick for getting all this information together, and to Lonnie, Geraldine, Rick and Trish for having us, again!

Host Hotel/Motel Sold Out of Available Rooms.....IMPORTANT UPDATE

Just found out this morning that the designated hotel/motel has no more room available for that weekend......the other local motel--Fairfield Inn & Suites still had a few at the time of this reply thread-----it is located just off Interstate 75 at exit 76 (first motel on left once you exit the interstate). Rate was $65 for King and they only had one (1) left this morning. they did have six (6) suites at $85 but they expect them to be gone by monday.

*****You have to tell them you are reserving via the Spoonbread Vendor and Exhibitor Rate otherwise they will not honor the rate and tell you they have no rooms. I was able to get this rate since we really are part of the Spoonbread Festival due to the fact we participate in the parade, have a vintage exhibit of cars on Saturday, and some of us attend/work the car show on Sunday......so it is ok.

It might be better to reserve immediately if you think you might be attending....just be sure to ask what the window of cancellation is so you will not be charged in case you have to cancel.
