Homecoming for the year 2003 will be on the 9th and 10th of August, Saturday and Sunday. Some alumni will arrive on Friday afternoon, the 8th of August, to begin sharing company with others.
A number of alumni stayed at the Ramada Inn Inn in Forest City last year. The Ramada Inn is located on the 74 bypass. I do NOT recommend making your reservations via the 800 number for Ramada. Some reservations through the 800 number were lost last year. A room for two people (senior citizens) cost about $51.00 (includes tax) last year. The telephone number of the Ramada Inn in Forest City is:
828-248-1711
Quite a few alumni stayed at the Jamison Inn in Forest City last year. It also is located on the 74 bypass. A room there costs about $10 more than a similar room at the Ramada--but the accommodations are quite superior to those at the Ramada. The telephone number of the Jamison Inn in Forest City is:
828-287-8788
Several other motels are also available:
Super 8 in Spindale -- 828-286-3681
Comfort Inn in Forest City -- 828-248-3400
Dogwood Motel in Rutherfordton -- 828-286-9121
Please make your reservations early--at the latest by the 1st of July.
