The Steel Guitar Forum

Don,
I saw that and thought, "Now that wasn't there before. Or was it?"
It is a lively day in Benton. The PA is being set, mikes on the stage being placed, tables being rolled out, lighting being checked and last minute details being checked. Therefore I am going straight home from work and staying there. See you all in Benton.

I plan on being there by 10:00 I hope I have a ticket
waiting. I wanted Scotty Henderson to come, but hes going to Dallas for his son's graduation.

I just found out that the event that had taken most of the rooms at Seasons On the Green (where the players are staying) has canceled and several more rooms are available now. Just mention that you are attending the steel show for a special rate. That phone number is 800-999-0977.

Hello Ron and Leslie!! See you soon!

Thanks for the post. I booked a non-smoking room for all three days. See you all there..

Good Morning.
Several people have called wanting directions to the hotel Seasons Lodge. You can go to www.rendlake.org and find out all about the lake. The directions are I-57 to Exit 77 then go west from the interstate. You will see a huge golfball on a green tee (watertower). Turn left onto Golf Course Dr which will be the first left off the interstate, then turn right onto Golf Course Rd. Signs will direct you to the Lodge, restraunt and golf course. The weather is going to be less than desirable this weekend so bring your umbrellas. You may want to consider the shuttle service we will be running back and forth from the Lodge. This could keep you from walking across the parking lots in the rain. But keep in mind this is Southern Illinois, the forecast could be completely different by the time I post this. We look forward to seeing everyone at the show. Travel safe.
