Barrel_Proof Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I note that this year, unlike years past, tickets are $5 more at the door than if purchased in advance ($35 / $30). Time to give the good folks at the Kentucky Bourbon Festival office a call! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleblank Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 It's that time for me to get a definitive headcount for the Friday catered dinner (before the Sampler). If you haven't posted yet or need to add/subtract anyone, please let me know. It was a lot of fun last year and hopefully we can get enough signed up to do it again.Price will be approximately $25 per person incl tax and tip. We'll be doing prime rib.Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubleblank Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Thanks for all the responses. We have the banquet room booked and (hopefully) the same caterer as last year. Several members here have offered to bring some interesting beverages to share with the group.......so that should be fun.Side note.....the General Nelson is getting cleaned up and repaired following 6 weeks of full occupancy by strike breakers. Target brought them in because of an possible strike at their Louisville facility and the Louisville hotels threw them out. Best Western booked them into Bardstown and Barbara finanaly had to throw them out last Monday. She described it as having a hotel full of parolees and other criminals with time on their hands......since there has not been a strike they just hung around the General Nelson. Barbara said that after repairs, etc, she might make a little money out of the ordeal. I forgot to ask if the Gazebo was still standing.Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleblank Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 We've got the banquet room booked and Patty Cull set up again as our caterer. Same menu as last year......prime rib with sides and desert. We've got 22 confirmed guests, several "maybe"s and some I haven't heard from yet so I reserved for 25 so we can accomodate any last minute additions (I can add guests up until about 7 days beforehand).I'm bringing some wines from Argentina and Charles is bringing some specialty brews to share. We'll have the banquest room from 6:00 pm until 9:00 pm with coktails early and dinner served around 7 to 7:30.Then the Gazebo!Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillman Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Still got my case of beer lined up, should be quite interesting (strong stouts, a large-size raspberry wheat, a large bottle of the great Hockley Dark, and much else). I'll probably add to it from the beer shelves of Liquor Barn.Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Just to confirm, Troyce and I will be there. Thanks again Randy,JOE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsh3406 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Is this Friday night event open to all, and is it to late to throw my name in? If not, put me down for two and let me know what information you need.Thanks,Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I, too, would like to make reservations for two for the Friday dinner if possible. I have an old friend from high school who will be meeting us there, and I don't know if they are on this site or not. Would it be possible to make reservations for four?My Dad died several years ago and I received all the contents of his bar, including many bottles of old bourbon. I opened the last one a couple of weeks ago (dated 1983). I recently transfered the contents into a sterilized clear glass bottle with a screw on cap and I plan to bring it to the gazebo Friday night. It will be interesting to hear the comments that you experts make about it, and to see how many of you can guess the distillery, brand, proof, etc. At the end of the evening or when the bottle runs dry (whichever comes first) I'll get out the original container.Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillman Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Good one, Stu, looking forward to that, and meeting you.Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleblank Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Tim and Stu....no, its not too late. I've got Tim down for two and Stu down for four. This brings our confirmed list to 31 people with some maybe's still out there. Looking forward to meeting you both.The banquet room will be ours from 6pm till 9pm. Several people are bringing interesting beers to try and I'm bringing some wines from Argentina. Cost is $25 per person to pay for the caterer and for the room. Afterwards, we retire to the Gazebo.Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 In that case I'll bring some of my home brew. I'm normally very proud of my "stu-brew" but this is the worst batch I've ever made. I'm a dark beer lover so it still beats Bud in my opinion. I don't currently have any home made wine that I can take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleblank Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Here's the last call for anyone wanting to come to the pre-Sampler dinner on Friday night We now have 33 confirmed guests. I'll go ahead and book for 35 to allow for some late guests.Menu is prime rib, green beans, buttered potatoes, salad, rolls, tea and cake. Barbara at the General Nelson will provide ice and glasses. Its BYOB.Charles, Gary and Stu are bringing interesting beers to share with the group. I'm bringing some red wines from Argentina to share.See everyone next week.Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
