JL. Can't wait. I'm going to try and see if a guy will bring his Christman's Comet up. He doesn't live to far from PF. It depends on his health, Pugs.

Pop, JL, you guys can rest easy cause I will have the cool aid you guys so desire. I'm ready as well. I need to pick some brains and get input on the next update to the comet. I don't know if the wife is goin to make the trip or not this year. My son may come since he will be out of school. Definitely look in forward to the fun and good times.

Dear 2015 Gathering Participants,
Wanted to give everyone a heads-up on a guest that would like to talk with the Comet Gathering group on Saturday. Mr. Jamie Palo, manager of the Deer Ridge Mountain Resort in Gatlinburg, Tn. would like to host the Comet Gathering at his resort next year, not this year. He is willing to pay for trophies and have everything setup for the Comets to be washed if we have an interest plus give us a discount at the resort if we stay there. He would like to talk with the group on Saturday as we eat our traditional meal together. I told Mr. Palo that Susie, manager of the Mountain Breeze Hotel, has been great to us and it may be hard to move the Comet Gathering after this year but I felt the group needed to make that decision and not me alone. I have always seen the Comet Gathering as a Grass Roots event and that everyone should have input as to what the group should do. Mr. Palo also suggested that the group could travel to his resort in Gatlinburg, 5 miles down the road, so that he could show off the features of the resort. If we agree to this it would take place on Saturday after we eat. Let me know if you have any concerns about this possible arrangement. You can call me at (270) 978-0100 or email me at corky.broughton@murraystate.edu. Trust everyone is getting ready for the June 5th, 6th, and 7th Gathering. I will be arriving on Thursday the 4th. I"m looking forward seeing everyone. :D :D :D Corky

Wow, two post in the same day. Just got off the phone with Susie, Manager of the Mountain Breeze Motel, She is planning on cooking her secret recipe for Chili and potatoes for the group on Saturday. She has already reserved the large tent for us again and has noted that the reservations are up this year. She stated she is really looking forward to having us. I feel certain we will be treated like royalty by the staff, as usual. Besides the lemon juice that we will all partake of, the staff at the hotel will have coffee/donuts each morning and popcorn every evening for the group. It is hard to beat what Susie and her staff offer us each year. Seems to me the Gathering gets better every year. Jim L. has already stated he will be visiting us and is looking forward to seeing everyone again. Keep in mind, Jim just had knee replacement and may be slow to move around. I asked him if he has been working on the 1966 Fairland (GTA) and he stated with his knee out there has not been much time to work on it.

Please remember as you check into the Motel to tell the staff or Susie how much we appreciate what they do for us. We definitely need pictures taken at this years Gathering and post on the website. Not sure yet, but I would really like to beat any record of the most Comets at one event. With everyone's help, we will accomplish this historic event this year. :D :D :D Take care and drive safely, Corky
