In the current issue of Countryside, Robert and Yvonne Hardy invited all to their place in Gentryville, Indiana. I think it sounds great, and would like to hear from anyone who has attended other Countryside get-togethers there... especially those who have taken their children.

I read that also. It shore sounds good. I wished every state would have a annual countryside event, Indiana is just a little too far for me.

It's a bit further than we usually go for weekend trips, but I'm thinking of trying it if I feel there is enough in it for the family to enjoy.

We went there last year. I think I know where you are comming from; it sounds a little too good to be true. It is really what it seems to be. There were no overtones of any kind. It was simply a gathering of complete strangers with a countryside type of outlook on life.

There were young families, retirees and everyone in between. Some stayed on the property, some at a hotel. These were exceptionally nice straight forward people. I plan on going again this year and it is well worth the six hour drive for us.

I can't locate my Atlas, where is Gentryville? My hubby said he'd like to go, which suprised me, as I'm the budding homesteader of the family. Sounds like fun. Amy

Gentryville is about as far South in Indiana as you can go... Look near the South West border...
