The thing about Harlan is....there isn't much. Most of the fast food joints are covered, and there's a wal-mart. They've also got the parts houses covered which is handy when we break stuff. I don't recall there being many mom and pop type restaurants in town to eat. Also, it's a good 10-15 mile drive into town from the campground as well. So plan fuel accordingly for the weekend...

I ate with the boys last year at Ken & Paul's Family Steakhouse and Pizza and it was good.

Another thing to consider in the Catering Vs Potluck debate. Is the impact that our event can have on the local community. Remember that the reasons that Black Mountain opened in the first place was to bring money into the local economy. We need to do our best to help out the places that give us a place to play. If the communities don't make money it is alot harder to justify keeping the parks open. I bet a few hundred dollars for catering our meal could make a pretty big difference to one of the local restaurants.

This ^

Attica is a tiny town and we manage to support a couple different businesses when we are there for winterfest and I think it means something to the community.

Maybe try a local bar or some place you might not think to ask for catering.

But, this is your event and do with it how you see fit.

This is turning into the one event a year that I can come to as a participant and not have to do any of the planning for it...it really is a vacation for me.

mac 'we will make it fun!' gyvr

Guess I really didn't look at it that way. Harlan County is dirt poor for the most part unless you work in the mines. If we can find a caterer then i'm all for it. I'd invite my mom to come up and cater but Glenn would hit on her the whole time....I'd hate to have to use my new pistol so soon! :D
