I have booked a room.  It remains to be seen if we can make it or not.  We were not able to attend last year.

I'm going. Whether I bring a dog with me depends on if I can get a downstairs room. Could only get an upstairs room at the Quality and I'm not 100% sure my knee is going to like it.

We will be there from Thursday to Sunday. We’ve been going to greyhound events since 2008. This will be our first one without a greyhound. :(

Anyone book at County Inn and Suites?  I’ve stayed there for the last few years and always found it a lovely place to stay....was just quoted $198/night plus $30/night non-refundable pet fee.  Guess I need to rethink my choice of lodging.

So you are going to make it this year?  We will have to get together.

I was quoted $737 for  4/29-5/3 at the Best Western, but they don't allow pets.

I booked at the Quality Inn 4/30-5/3 for Approx. $440. It's second floor so I may not be bringing Hada with me.

Just checked the Quality Inn on York-AAA price is $99/nt (pet fee is another $10/nt).  I love the Country Inn I just can’t justify $230/nt

No to Quality Inn on York! Stay at the one on Steinwehr. That’s where we are. :)

 Booked solid for the next century.  Found a deal and booked at Country Inn.  Still not sure I can attend (starting new job next week) but, I can cancel if need be.

joe has an solo show opening at mockingbird handprints, san antonio, tx the last week of april, so we will not be attending this year. let's see what 2021 brings-

ducky- the york qi was under construction last year and dirt cheap, no pet fee. only 10 min from the cave at the other qi!

I won't be going this year. Instead I'm going to spend some time with old friends on Ocracoke Island NC. I lived there in the 1970-80's. They were hit really hard during hurricane Dorian and over 65 homes had to be demolished. Businesses are rebuilding and struggling to get back on their feet. So my money will go to bringing some needed items for them and spending my money in the few shops that are open. For my dear, now very elderly neighbor, I have a few framed photos and my sketches since all her photos were destroyed.

I will be cancelling my GIG reservations. I booked at both the Quality Inn (upstairs room) and the Best Western (no dogs allowed) since I wasn't sure I'd be bringing a dog along or not. If you haven't been able to book a room let me know so I can switch one of those reservations to your name.

I really love you are doing this!
