SOUTHERN HERITAGE CONFERENCE and CONFEDERATE CEILIDH
**( If I ever can get the time, I'll be adding an events page for stuff like this)
For those of you in or near South Mississippi, my friend, compatriot, & occasional nemisis Carl Ford is hosting his annual Confederate Heratige Conference in Laurel Labor Day weekend. From the looks of things, this should be the best yet.
Information & Carl's contact info is below.
TO THE POLITICALLY INCORRECT
You are invited to attend the
SOUTHERN HERITAGE CONFERENCE and CONFEDERATE CEILIDH
Sponsored by the politically incorrect SCV Camp 227
September 1 & 2, 2006
at the Ramada Inn, Laurel, MS.
Featuring
Ronnie Kennedy,
(the handsome one)
Pastor Gene Case
Dr Cary Kimbrell
Al Benson, publisher of Copperhead Chronicles
Bro. (Now Dr.) John Killian (3 time winner of MOSB Oratory contest)
AND
The Bossy Little Scot, Carl Peterson
Events include the SOUTHERN HERITAGE CONFERENCE
with IN YOUR FACE speakers;
Saturday Night CONFEDERATE CEILDHI (Scottish Party); Armed Confederates and Armed
Scotsmen will POST THE COLORS and the ladies are invited to wear your period dresses.
(Plain ole casual dress is fine for all the events)
Friday night supper is on your own, and the speaking will begin at 7 PM with doors open at 6PM to visit our vendors and with each other. (This IS the Confederate family reunion!) Saturday, we’ll start at 8 AM and go till we can’t.
We’ll have our usual great vendors, plus a few new ones.–and DOOR PRIZES- maybe a calendar!
The good news is we are returning to the Ramada ( which is under new management,) so all activities will be under one air conditioned roof during a Mississippi summer weekend!
The bad news is due to inflation, we’re having to raise prices both for registration and for the Saturday meals. We are still charging only our cost for the meals, which has gone up $5.00 apiece making them $15.00 per person for dinner (Cannonball’s granddaughter Christy–that’s at noon!) and $20.00 per person for supper.
To pay for the increased cost of meals for our speakers, (they’re all big eaters) we are raising the prices for registration.
Registration will now be $25.00 per family and $15.00 for individuals. However there is a discount for those who are eating with us. If at least 2 people eat a meal, registration will drop back to the usual $15.00 per family. If an individual eats a meal with us, registration will drop back to the usual $10.00. AND, remember, you get the whole Confederate Ceilidh (kay-lee=big whooping party) with your supper price! We have to guarantee at least 50 meals each for dinner and supper in order to get our meeting rooms, so help us out so we can keep the Conference going.
Also, you HAVE to let us know about how many are eating which meals by August 16 so we can tell the Ramada, and George and Nancy won’t be having hissys.
Sleeping rooms will be blocked until August 16, 2006 at a bargain rate of $65.00, plus tax. Call 601-649-9100 for room reservations. Be sure to mention you are with the Southern Heritage Conference when you make your room reservations so you can get that price.
