Scarlett provided the following information regarding room reservations:
Please reserve your rooms at Pickwick Landing State Park by calling 1-800-250-8615. Currently, there are 25 rooms and reservations will be accepted through June 8th at which point the reserved rooms will be released for others to book. It is imperative that you say the words “Agritourism Association” when making your reservation or you will be turned away. The nightly rate is $82. If for some reason you make a reservation but, you are unable to make it to the meeting, the Inn will provide you with a refund of your deposit if you give 48 hours cancellation notice. If all 25 rooms become booked – we have a couple of choices.
1. If you are a single attendee and are willing to room with another single attendee – please let me know. I will generate a list of those who can take roommates.
2. There are multiple area hotels. I have spoken with Hampton Inn (closest), Quality Inn and Days Inn. Also, it appears as though there are a few Bed & Breakfast locations around that look really nice. Also, there is a Botel – a remodeled barge that looks especially neat (thehistoricbotel.com).
