***** Updated Staging Information *****
I would like to take this time to remind everyone about the escort for the 261st on Tuesday morning, Nov 3rd. I know this is a work day for many, but for those who can spare a few hours, please try to attend this send-off. For those coming from the WEST, take I-64 East to exit 47a (Cross Lanes), go right to the Big Sandy parking lot on Rt 622 (you’ll be headed towards the Dog Track). Those coming from the EAST, SOUTH or NORTH take I-64 West getting off at exit 47 (Cross Lanes), turn left at top of exit on Rt 622 (Goff Mountain Rd) going towards the Dog Track; Big Sandy’s is on the right. Don’t forget to bring your 3x5 flag.
