Should Be There

No definite plans yet, but we'd like to attend. As one of the few games that offers longbow competition there is extra incentive to be there. The camping venue is quite nice.

Unfortunately, I'll be leaving for Seattle that weekend. Was planning to make the Triad Games but see on their website they have canceled this year.

BEEDEE -

Sorry to hear that Triad is canceled for 2009. Wasn't the biggest or grandest games, but pleasant and have fond memories over the last couple of years. Plus it was the closest games to where we live.

Hope they do return in 2010.

Just found out that I have a free place to stay on the Loch.
So, I'm counting my pennies and hoping to see the gang there!

I'll be there, and I'll be camping this year (despite living 20 minutes away). The campers have a great time, so why not?

Lickstone: if you live west of Hickory, it might be closer for you to go down Hwy. 321 instead of all the way to I-77 in Statesville. The Rural Hill website has directions.
