BELL BUCKLE CRAFT FAIR PARKING
This Saturday and Sunday, we will park cars at Webb School for the Bell Buckle Craft Fair. All money earned will be divided among those who work based on the hours worked. Hours worked by parents will be credited to their son's account. Wear your Class A uniform and bring a canteen and rain gear just in case. The weather looks great - a little cool in the morning and 80's during the day. This could mean a big crowd which could be good and bad. Saturday is usually a heavier day than Sunday. The fair runs Sat 9-5 and Sunday 9-4. We will need a small group there early (7AM), with others following a little later (7:30-8AM).
Driving directions: Go South on US 231 toward Shelbyville - watch for the sign to Bell Buckle you will turn left at a BP Station on to highway 82. Drive straight into town, cross the railroad tracks and continue on hwy 82 past the post office. Turn left at the Methodist Church Abernathy Street (???) and follow the "Parking " signs until you get to the Webb School Softball field where the road makes a hard left turn. Lunch (Hot Dogs) will be provided or you can chow down at one of the vendors if you bring some money.
Mr Harden and Mr. Falana will be in charge. Their cell phones are: (615) 631-0080 and (615) 289-1164. The plan is to travel up and back on your own. Parents usually like to browse through the craft exhibits. If you need a ride, or if you have not signed up, contact Mr. Harden or Mr Falana
