It's my pleasure, Tammy! Techs are always complaining that they aren't making enough money to afford to fly to Vegas or Orlando (which only offer 1 hour condensed classes that are NOT hands-on), but the Smoky Mountains are within a days drive of over HALF the USA. Here's the mileage from a city near you:
Atlanta..............197 miles...........3.75 hours Birmingham..............302 miles..............5 hours Charlotte.........195 miles..........3.75 hours Chattanooga.........71 miles...........1.25 hours Chicago........580 miles............9.25 hours Cincinnati.........291 miles.................4.50 hours Columbia......228 miles............4 hours Detroit.......552 miles....................9 hours Indianapolis............398 miles...............6.25 hours Lexington.............211 miles............3.50 hours Louisville..........287 miles............4.50 hours Memphis.........436 miles....................7 hours Mobile.................527 miles..........8.50 hours Nashville..............223 miles...................3.75 hours Pittsburgh..........495 miles...............8 hours Raleigh.....................325 miles.............5.50 hours Richmond.............438 miles..............7 hours St. Louis...........530 miles.....................8.50 hours Tampa.....................647 miles..........10.50 hours Washington D.C...........489 miles.............8 hours Combine business with pleasure.......visit www.gatlinburg.com to see what the Smoky Mountains has to offer your family! Visit us on Facebook at "Nail Tech Networking Event of the Smokies" (link below) for all the details, private class info, lodging options, and photos of past Events. I've even posted a photo album of some favorite places of things-to-do/places-to-eat in Gatlinburg, TN.
