You can send a picture to the Fathead Company and get it made into a 6x6 foot picture. We done a football picture of Zach last year and it turned out awesome. I think it was like $120.00.

Sounds like a plan! I can't wait to see your new ride...

Do we have discounted room rates set up at Hyatt Place for the Fun Run?

Chewy, I was told that we do..that is so far away from Black jack though....

Yeah... I haven't decided what we're doing. Does Blackjack have slips available?

Black jack will have plenty of uncovered free parking along all of its new docks...any covered and un-covered slips that are not rented at the time of our event will be available for us to use... price might be 1 dollar per foot for a covered slip..they just built some new 70 foot slips that are not rented yet..... plenty of trailer parking as well... Bart and Angela secured the jr.high school grass lot directly across from the marina... I will post a pic...

huge parking area at the entrance of black Jack.....

I called yesterday and they could not find any special rate for the event under MCPA or any other name associated with the run. They did have a pay in advance rate on line for $112.00 per night. I booked at a Hampton Inn & Suites in Mt. Juliet Mapquest shows it 12 miles from Blackjack that was the nearest i could find. i did find a one bedroom condo avaliable at the marina for Thursday/Friday night only I think it was $145 per night plus a $65.00 cleaning fee it might be booked by now though. Really looking foward to the run my wife and i will be in Thursday evening and plan to make the lunch run on Friday.

I posted this on the FB page but I think it is an important topic for consideration...

I suggested to Mr. Crawford yesterday that the run should discuss with the Corp and TWRA about posting signs at all ramps and Marinas alerting the public to our event. This could do nothing but support our safety effort because the only time in the past John Q pontoon driver knows of our existence is when he gets passed by the first few boats. Just let everyone know we are going to be in the channel from 10am to 12am between the dam and hwy 109. I would post the signs about a week ahead of time and we might not only alert everyone to our presence but we might get a few spectators as well. If it gets one fishing boat out of the channel or one pontoon boat pulling a tube in Drakes Creek instead of the channel it does nothing but promote a safer run for everyone! I've even offered to take signs and flyers to Anchor High and Gallatin Marina as well as the ramps on our side of the lake.

We have block rooms at Hyatt place in hendersonville,TN and the doubletree which 15 min from the event and 15 min from downtown..the doubletree is for those who want to go downtown Nashville...I will post the links to their web sites.... mention code ( MCPA Fun Run) $114 per night at Hyatt place and $94 at double tree...
