THE DEADLINE TO RESERVE YOUR ROOM IS AUGUST 23, 2023 SO DON'T DALLY

Please plan to arrive on Friday. We have arranged for a private tour of an automobile museum. Their normal admission fee is $10 but because this will be only for RFTH 28 attendees, it will be after hours. The entry fee will be $15. This is also an antique mall. The tour will take place Friday night, September 22 at 6 PM. Miles Through Time is the museum, located in Clarkesville, Ga.

We will lunch at The Grand Olde Station on Saturday and when we return to the hotel, we will have our evening dinner at Longhorn's Steak House. This was chosen in part because restaurants are very limited in this area, and also for anyone who wishes to have an adult beverage. Very close to the hotel.

Event Tshirts are still in the works. As soon as we have a final design, it will be posted in this thread. They may be ordered on the Georgia Fiero website at gafiero.org in the Club Merchandise section. Be sure to chose your size, quantity, and color shirt, offered in white or light gray 100% cotton.

To obtain the special room discount you can call the hotel directly at 706-778-0040. DO NOT USE THE RESERVATIONS OPTION. STAY ON THE LINE FOR THE FRONT DESK. Use Reservation Code GFC or Georgia Fiero Club.

On Thursday I spoke with the curator of the automobile museum to firm up our private tour. He told me they had added another 13,000 square feet of display area and have more than 100 cars on display. Since our initial contact with the museum, with the added display, they have increased the admission fee by $5.00, so our cost will be $20.00 per person. This will also give us access to the antiques store if anyone desires to browse and purchase.

Our private tour will begin at 6PM, Friday September 22 so we will need to depart the hotel around 5PM.
