Tail of the Dragon - Annual Gatlinburg Viper Gathering

[JoelW]

OK, for those of you who have been there and done that or those of you wanna-be Dragon Tamers. We have tentatively scheduled our Gatlinburg Tail of the Dragon event for May 31st through June 2. Hotel is again the Greystone Lodge at the Aguarium and it is currently being totally renovated. Viper folks get a discount at $77 for Thursday and $90 for Friday and Saturday nights.

Our crack event staff is hard at work on this to plan cruises and meals but if you want to be there, put it on your calendar now so you can enjoy some of the best roads in the east. More info to follow. Also we had a lot of request for T-shirts. Mike has some of last year's left and we can order more. Let us know if you're interested so we can plan accordingly. You know this is not to be missed!
