Well, it looks like I will be flying solo this year again. Bob McMinn called this morning to say he won't be able to make it. Come hell or high water, I'll be there!

So I guess I'll be a first timer to the Classic this year and I'm psyched to be there! All of the guys at the Old Hickory Bowman Club in Hermitage, TN tell me it's an amazing weekend.

I did have a few questions about the layout just so I know what to pack.

1) What's close by in the area grocery wise? I.E. do I need to make sure I'm loaded up with a few days worth of camping gear or can I top off my supplies somewhere nearby, like a gas station?

2) Am I cool to come down Wednesday afternoon or do they not allow camping until Thursday? I took Wed-Fri off from work so I wanted to get a head start.

3) I have a friend coming from Atlanta but he won't make it until Thursday night. Can I stake off a little extra space for his tent or is he on his own to find a camp spot Thursday night? We've both just got pack tents.

4) What's the official policy on alcohol? Not looking to open a bar or anything like that, I just wanted to know if it's flat out forbidden there or what?

Thanks! REALLY looking forward to it and hopefully I'll walk away with a fresh made selfbow (my first!)

There are gas stations within a few miles. I think a WalMart is near also. Someone will have better directions for you.
The club opens the concession stand Friday through Sunday I think for breakfast and lunch.  Saturday night is the Pot Luck for everyone.
Pappy will be there from the Friday before. Others start coming in then. Ill be there Tuesday so come on when you can.
 You will probably be able to stake off enough room for you and your friend.
Inconspicuous alcohol is acceptable. Inappropriate behavior is not. This is a family affair.
 Prepare to be blown away!!!
