My hubby is ill, and I am the sole caregiver so I cannot go that far. Nashville is only an hour away and maybe more do-able. I need to be somewhere I can drive home fairly quickly if need be. But that's just my issue and the world doesn't revolve around me ... if others want to go to Crossville, then you all have a ball. I'll find something else. I'm looking for more of a day gathering anyway, meetup and get acquainted, eat, laugh, swap some plants and have some fun, and so forth ... and not a 3-4 day shindig or anything too expensive. The KYRU is only 50 miles from me (closer than parts of Nashville actually) so I see no need to replicate that as it's already within my driving distance if I go there. But, again, that's just me. You all do whatever you want to do since I'm often "iffy" anyway.
Maybe you could call them Gardener Gatherings or something catchier ... no offense to the Southwest Forum.
