DUNCAN IS OFF! (FOR NOW)

Hey Gang,

Aunt Gerry, with technical difficulties, just called and told me that Duncan Christmas is off for now. Max will have all his worked completed in time for the event, however, the paperwork that goes to the National headquarters will not get there and be processed in time for his Eagle award to get back to Duncan in time for a celebration on December 13th. SOOO. . . . Here is what Aunt Gerry suggested. That we have Christmas still on that weekend but have it here instead of there. What do you all say to this? Has anybody made reservations in Duncan yet? Can they be cancelled? Do you want to go ahead and do Christmas there? Or would you rather do Christmas here and then later go to Duncan for the Eagle ceremony? Aunt Gerry didn't want everyone to have the expense of coming to Duncan for Christmas then again inviting everyone to return later for the Eagle ceremony. Aunt Gerry is thinking that the Eagle ceremony will take place in February now. OK, everybody please respond cause I told Aunt Gerry I would monitor responses and let her know what we think since she can't get to the blog at this time.

Duncan Hotels

Here's the scoop I could find on hotels in duncan.
The Hampton Inn - new one in Duncan - 580-255-1700 $ 109.00 + tax per night.
The Chisholm Suites - place we all stayed last time - 580-255-0551 $80.00 + tax per night.
The Days Inn - stayed there once long time ago DO NOT STAY THERE!
Hearthstone Inn Bed and Breakfast - 580-736-0100 $74.00 to 119.00 +tax per night. Depends on how fancy a room you want there. Never been there don't have any personal experience to pass on.
May the force be with you!

Christmas

Hi folks,

Aunt Gerry says the new hotel, The Hampton Inn, is opening November 14. It is not possible to make online reservations at this time. You must call the hotel direct at 1-580-255-1700. I tried calling today and just get busy signals. I checked with Hampton headquarters and they can't do online reservations either. They suggested trying during the week at normal business hours as the hotel is not open yet it is not manned on the weekends or evenings. I will try again on Monday and let you know how it goes. They will have an ihop restaurant too! Good news for us late nighters! Aunt Gerry feels that this hotel is going to be far better than the one we had used in the past. For Uncle John, Duncan has a new golf course called "The Territory" which is rumored to be fantastic. It seems that Duncan is experiencing a growth spurt with several new businesses. I sure hope Aunt Gerry is able to resolve her technical difficulties soon. Perhaps she needs an appointment with Aunt Barb, the family computer guru!

Rawlings Christmas Gathering

I'm posting for Aunt Gerry cause she is still experiencing technical difficulties. I visited with her this evening and Max will be celebrating his Eagle Scout promotion at a ceremony on December 13th. There will be a supper provided. So, Rawlings Christmas Gathering will be in Duncan this year. Aunt Gerry is to get me names and numbers of hotels in Duncan, the one we usually stay at in addition to a brand new one that is just opened. I should have them tomorrow or next day and will post as soon as I get them. I will be attending this event. Eagle Scout is a very important accomplishment. Having made that statement I do realize that it may be impossible for the entire group to attend due to various committments. That is ok. Life happens. Please take the time to send a card congratulating Max on his goal attained.

Happy Birthday Chris!

Be sure and wish Chris a happy birthday today!
