I am working with our re-enactor group and they are trying to arrange something special for us. I'm also trying to hire a 40's trio to sing for the gang.

Hoping to see a few more reservations soon. Right now we only have six rooms booked, but I know many people wait until the last minute, so I know there will be a lot more. 🙂
