Default Southern Side X Side

I'm going to put the Spring Classic in Sanford on the calendar early so I don't miss it this year. Was wondering, which of the scheduled events do the Parker fellows participate in? Any other "heads ups" for this event? Thanks

Paul,
There are two hotels that most of our members stay at. You would think after eight years of attendance I would know that info right off the top of my head but that is not the case. I'm sure there will be an announcement soon or perhaps someone who has the info handy will chime in. The big event that most PGCA members enter is the Parker vs LC Smith Challenge but there are many other events that are probably listed on Deep Rivers website by now.

The dates for the Southern this year are
april 26-28. Hampton Inn is good everywhere and the Comfort Inn is also very good in Sanford.

If you have not been to the Southern, graduate to the Hampton without stopping at the Comfort. The Hampton is the PGCA headquarters hotel. It is worth the extra money. Last year, the Parker and Smith display tent was on site at the "Dove Field" at the Challenge five stand. It is a short walk from the main display tent area and clubhouse. Great area to hang out and park your car.

Many of stay at the Comfort Inn and one of the benefits is nighttime security by off duty Sanford Police officers funded by the Virginia Vintagers and coordinated by Jent Mitchell. No worry about your vehicles and items left in them.

The Quality Inn does have its advantages, but in my experience cleanliness is not one of them. I'm seriously thinking about staying at the Hampton Inn this year.
