March 26-28, 2010 Natchez Pilgrimage Experience.
 
This is an appeal for reenactors who care to do their best:  We have planned a trip to Natchez, MS for the weekend of March 26, 2010.  We will leave the Nashville area on Thursday, March 25 after work and return on Monday, March 29. 
 
As part of an effort to contribute to the Natchez Pilgrimage experience, we will make at least two lunch-time presentations about the way women from different walks of life would dress and behave during the years of the Civil War.  Other optional activities are planned, including some free home tours and some that cost money as well as a sampling of restaurant fare in Natchez.  We have acquired a cottage in town at NO COST to stay in while we are there.  Space in the cottage is limited but we have had some people who now can't go on the trip.  The cottage is not furnished but with the reenactor spirit, I think we can supply our own bedding.
 
If you're interested in what promises to be a fun and educational trip, please get back in touch with me for more details at:  trishhasenmueller at gmail.com

Hi Folks,

The previous info sent around about the December Augusta Ball lists
the Clarion Suites as the hotel with a group rate, but not the
Patridge Inn. Due to management changes PI was slow to respond to
offering a group rate, but they are now onboard offering a group rate as well.

Soooooooooooo, if you have previously enjoyed staying at the Patridge
Inn while attending the ball, you can do so again at a discounted
rate. Several of us are planning on staying there because of the ambience. :-)

To contact the Partridge Inn with your reservations, you can
call: 706-737-8888.

Also, I wouldn't wait until the last minute to purchase your tickets
to the ball/Friday evening.

Holly
