[BRIII attendees...Please Step In] Time to vote on the activities...
Ok...
Thank you, to everyone that made suggestions for new activities for BRIII. We're asking everyone to look at the activities listed in the poll and choose the things you would definitely attend or participate in, if they were on the agenda. This is a multiple choice poll...please vote for your top 6-7 choices. I know, I know. There are A LOT of details listed below. But this is going to be the decider on what things we will remove and/or add to this year's schedule. We'd like as much participation in this poll as possible, but please only vote for the things that you have a serious interest in attending. One small detail: A lot of people will be bringing their SO to BG - and they may not necessarily be registered here. If they're not registered, we obviously can't tally up the activities that they'd like to attend via this poll. However, we'd still like to know what they'd like to attend, so we can get a somewhat accurate head count. You can post that info up in this thread. REGARDING THE MAKER'S MARK TOUR VERSUS THE JIM BEAM AMERICAN STILLHOUSE TOUR: If you've been on the Maker's mark tour before and would like to try something new, this is an alternative that was suggested in the previous thread. Distance is about the same from BG as MM. While I was doing some research, I found out that they just redid the grounds a few months ago. See Black94lt1's review here: https://www.thevettebarn.com/forums/777868-post133.html Anyhow, I tried to do as much research as possible on the things that everyone suggested. I've listed just about everything below, with a short description. Hopefully, this will help as everyone makes their decisions. I think that I included the location for any of the activities that may have a (somewhat) long drive - just so everyone is aware.
Here are a list of items, which are not included in the poll. They're not included because they are either things that take place in the evening at the hotel (simply put on the 'official' agenda, as notification that they are taking place). Since they're noted on the schedule for notification purposes only, we don't need a participation count.
Also, just FYI, beadist will be setting aside time on Thursday and Friday to taking pictures with folks and their cars in front of the NCM. I'll put that on the NCM schedule as notification. Since she has so graciously committed to doing this already, I didn't include it in the poll. These are things we've already ruled out. Reasons listed:

Wow. Awesome! Way to get after it Sandy.
I selected both Jim Beam and Maker's Mark tour. I've been to MM twice, so if there is a tie or conflict, I wouldn't mind visiting a new distillery. |

Next to this same mall is the Opryland Hotel - which is a massive hotel and has a good couple of hours of walking paths all inside and in their gardens. It is a nice place to visit. However, with the number of activities I see planned - you may be pushing it to try and fit this one in somewhere. |

I sure hope we will get a look at the C7 while we are there.
Even better if some can get a ride along, maybe have a drawing for it. |

Actually, it is during the week prior to the Memorial Day weekend.
Most arrive on Wednesday or Thursday and depart on Saturday or Sunday, leaving Monday (Memorial Day) to relax and unwind. The dates are 22- 26 May. |

I wouldn't mind trying some curling. I wonder if you all would figure out who I was if I crashed the party.... |

Great job Sandy! I agree on the Beam versus Maker's. We've been to Maker's quite a few times and Beam before the changes and after and as the link to our fall visit says, Beam is way improved. |
