Back to NO school party!
OPEN TO ALL HOMESCHOOLING FAMILIES--CHATTANOOGA!
Picnic at the park! Chickamauga Dam August 19th.
We are arriving as early as possible to enjoy to full day on the Dam. There is a man-made beach there, playground equipment and so forth. I cannot find an entry fee, I suggest you ask me again for this just prior to the trip most state parks charge a small fee I will call again in the morning. It has been after hours each time I sat to work on this project this week.

Jim says:
“Yes. There is a swimming lake at the Chickamauga Dam. From I-75, take exit 4, Highway 153. Take exit 6, Amnicola Highway and follow the signs to Chickamauga Lake.”
Bring a picnic with you. BLA will have dessert for the kids! We will serve our dessert at 1pm.
We will be leaving about 2ish to go to the hotel…

Dinner Cruise: August 19th
http://www.chattanoogariverboat.com/www/cruise-details?cruise_id=113&date=1282262400
We are booking group rates and in the event it is not possible when the manager calls me back these are worst case scenario rates for Dinner and Cruise: I have left a message with the ‘group rate department” and full well expect a reduction.
Adult - $34.50 plus tax and gratuity
Child - $16.50 plus tax and gratuity
Just the cruise is exactly half of that cost, but I feel that a Prime Rib Buffet is worth the addition.
