REminder/REpeat/REhash...REMEMBER

ONE OF THE VERY FUN THINGS WE ARE DOING AT THE B.A.R. IS..............   Bring it!!!!

I would like to thank the Crabby Girls and The Hands for this excellent idea for a fun 'get acquainted game' during the B.A.R.

We are asking each person attending the Blogville Awesome Retreat to 

bring a gift that represents their City, State or Country.   Since we 

are all traveling from a far,  to the B.A.R., it should be small and cost no more

than $10.00.  We have a ton of crafty bloggers so it can be hand/home made.

We will give each item a number.  Each attendee will receive a number then we'll have a drawing. Everybuddy will leave the B.A.R. with a treasure from somewhere around the great big world!!

We have a thriving artist community in and around the Asheville, NC area.  Mom especially loves the dogwood jewelry by Stuart Nye

As we said over on our blog...

GOODNESS GROWS IN NORTH CAROLINA

RUN DON'T WALK TO YOUR NEAREST TRAVEL AGENCY  TO MAKE TRAVEL PLANS

TO COME TO THE B.A.R.

SO YOU WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO WIN 

SOMETHING

Below are a few things made in NC....

it makes an Eastern North Carolina BBQ  Sandwich taste twice as spicy

we won't be bringing any BBQ but if you are ever in Eastern NC this is the best BBQ..
western NC BBQ is sweet and has a ketchup base.

and you must have a large Cheerwine to cool off your tongue and wash down the BBQ.

Lance are another fine NC product.  The snack crackers with peanut butter aka NABS are a staple in this house...

So in closing what I'm trying to say now that I've made myself hungry AND THIRSTY,

if you are at a loss for an item that represents your City, State or Country,

Google "products made in your state's/country name. 

You will find a wealth of information from food, to agriculture to

jewelry.  Mom is gonna make up a little basket for the B.A.R. Gift
exchange. It will contain several products from NC...not necessarily any of the above. This will be what Dad donates to the exchange and Mom has a friend of hers making an unusual gift which will be Mom's gift for the exchange.
