OK gang, here’s the general itinerary for Homecoming this week.

*Thursday*
6:00 PM – Supper at Top o’ the River

*Friday*
8:00 AM – Show & Shine at UMC shop (remember to bring your own snacks, drinks, etc.)
6:00 PM – Supper at The Fish Market (located on US-411 on the river, next to the city park just south of the Broad St. bridge)

*Saturday*
8:00 AM – Depart Nocallula Falls parking lot for cruise to Cave Springs, GA.
~11:00 AM – Lunch at The Gridiron in Centre, AL.
6:00 PM – Supper at a Mexican restaurant (exact one TBD).

On Friday morning at the shop, we will have name tags for you to fill out and a goody bag for each car. Included in each bag will be a set of turn-by-turn directions and a general Google map of the cruise route. We want to make sure every car has a copy so that we don’t have any problems with someone getting separated and lost (like has happened a time or two in Pigeon Forge!). Also, this will let you put the info into your GPS, or meet us at the restaurant if you don’t want to do the full cruise.

After lunch Friday, we may have a short impromptu ride somewhere to get ice cream or coffee or something. I know several folks have mentioned doing this in years past.

Of course, there will be nightly socializing in the Hampton parking lot after supper.

SPECIAL NOTE: On Friday and Saturday, take care to drink plenty of water & stay hydrated. It has already turned very hot here!!! The last several years, we've had showers & clouds during Homecoming, and some folks may not remember just how hot/dry it can be.

That's about it. Have a safe trip in, and we'll see you later this week!!!
