EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: TN, Sevierville - 4/26/2018 to 4/29/2018

[JJC]

Well, the pre-rally dinner at Loco Burro is in the books and all I can say is there was a bit of loco; and there is video evidence

The first event tomorrow is the Sevier Distilling Company tour at 2pm. The tours will be led by Owner and Master Distiller Chris Yett.

We have 42 people confirmed for this event (see below), but can accommodate more if you still want to go. We will split into groups and some will be touring while others do tastings. If you want to preview the offerings go to http://sevierdistilling.com/
Also, there is a coupon for 15% off your purchase in your rally bag.

While the parking is not like in Gatlinburg, it would be helpful if we could car pool as best we can. So find a new friend on the signup list below and buddy up. Melinda and I have some rally errands to run tomorrow so we will meet everyone at the distillery.

Logistics
Please plan on leaving River Plantation by 1:30p. It's a right hand turn out of River Plantation and it should only take 15 minutes to get there. The GPS does work on the address. The distillery is a block off the main road and is directly behind a Staples.
