My wife and I are going. Can't wait, I've been wanting to go for a couple of years but things always came up to stop us. Not this time, Good Lord willing and the Creek don't rise we are going.

Now memphis in May is on our list of places to go but this year we are in New York City for my cousin's wedding. Maybe next year.

Wife and I are set to go. Leaving on May 8th. Stopping in WV for a day. Two days in Nashville. Then off to Memphis and will arrive on the 11th. Hope to meet some of you SMF folk.

I got a quick question about this event. How big is it, my family and I are thinking about heading down but we're wondering if it's gonna be a huge event, or if it's more of a local thing. Any help is appreciated.

Yes it is a big event. Runs for 3 days. The other real big event is the American Royal in Kansas City.


Thats where I purchased mine.

I heard the creek did rise. I'd suggest calling ahead to make sure your everything is ok.

Already been told the park is drying out. No where near the problems as Nashville. It's a go!

From what I've seen everything is still on at Memphis, if not we'll just have to float in!!

Just arrived and checkedin at the EconoLodge on 3rd st. Heading over to Beale st later. Pretty much decided to have dinner at BB Kings tonight.
See no flooding problem anywhere in town.

We're headed down from Toronto Thursday afternoon, think we need to get some hotel reservations or should a room be easy to find?
