Star 2013?

[Patmo]

Wait Pat aren't U a KY member? U should be putting STAR 2013 on in your state!?!?!?

Yeah, right.....LOL. That's why I asked, since I had heard nothing about it until it was announced at STAR. Last time when it was held in Lexington, it was the Indiana Squadron that was hosting the event. I was wondering if it was them again or maybe Ohio or ? We have gained a few Ky members since then, but we are still a very small and spread out chapter and I doubt very seriously that we have the manpower to do it ourselves.

This is an entirely different place, supposedly within walking distance of the downtown eateries...

Yes its right downtown on a very busy street. Dont let the pictures of it fool you that give the "open secluded" look, its surrounded closely by the city. Its on Broadway that runs straight to the Rupp Arena about 5 or 6 block away, eateries everywhere there. I have never stayed at the Campbell House but its where the "Bluegrass Tours" begin, you park there and the tour bus picks you up. Highly recommend the horse farm and race track tours, very informative and come in an assortment of time lengths.

And it is supposed to be haunted.

There are some who claim that Lexington is the most haunted city in Kentucky and after reading some of the ghost stories told about the town, you might agree. The first haunted spot is the Campbell House Inn, a haunted hotel in the city. According to the stories told, a dark spot on the stairs marks the spot where a woman was brutally murdered and despite the owners best efforts, the stain won't go away. There's also a haunted room on the third story where another woman was killed.

Cool! Sounds great. I love it when the event hotel is right in the thick of things. Nice to get off the bike of an evening and stretch the legs!

Thanks for the info! Here's hoping scout schedules work out!

If you want to do some pre-trip planning the City of Lexington will mail you a very nice travel packet featuring area highlights and some very nice maps. If you check the box for driving tours they should include a map of the "Bluegrass Trail." This is a posted route around the Lexington area through horse farms and historic places. It's a very nice half day ride. This loop will also be included as a GPS route with waypoints included at various points of interests. The ride routes will be published prior to STAR and will also be available at our GPS download station near the hotel entrance when you arrive. -JEP-
Here is the link to receive their packet: http://www.visitlex.com/mail/vaform.php
