Alright guys, let's get this started. Adam (chippewastud79) and I have been talking about doing this for a long time now, and after the success of the Indy HERF and talking to guys there that said they would love to come to our neck of the woods, we figured that the time has come to get the ball rolling. :ss

We have a couple different options as far as location:

1) The first is the Beer Sellar in Newport, KY (http://www.beersellar.net/). With over 120 bottled beers and 60 on draft and cigar friendly, this would be a nice place to do it. Their food is basic bar food (pizza, fried fat, I mean cheese, etc). The Beer Sellar is also the location that the Party Source uses for their weekly Tuesday night HERF that regularly has 100+ people. I could talk with Eric and Micah at the Party Source and work with them to reserve an area just for us which would be pretty cool. They have pool tables, lots of TV's and a massive bar. I think this would be our best bet.

2) Willies Sports Cafe (http://www.williesonline.com/) This place is cigar friendly and has a more expanded menu. This is a restaurant though, not a bar and may be a little bit harder for everyone to socialize and move around at.

3) Hooters. Well, it's Hooters and they allow cigar smoking. Plain and simple. I can probably reserve an area for us here as well.

Now on to the date: I was thinking either Nov. 8th or 15th. The 22nd is the Ohio State vs. Michigan game which will likely take up LOTS of people's day in this area and the 29th is the Saturday after Thanksgiving which likely means most will be with their families. Either date listed above works for me.

If you'd like to come, and are serious about it, post your name, which date works (if either one is fine, please post either), and which location you think you'd like. Once we get a good response, Adam and I will finalize everything and we'll proceed to the countdown! :chk:chk

[ky toker]

If I can make it the 15th would have to be the date. Still a bit away before I know anything for sure.

 

[BengalMan]

For those that bring wives or children there are a couple of things to do.

1) Newport on the Levee (http://www.newportonthelevee.com/) Plenty of shopping, dining, movies and entertainment.
2) Florence Mall - Well, it's a mall.
3) Tower Place - Mall downtown, also across the street from Saks 5th Ave and Tiffanys.
4) Rookwood Commons (http://www.shoprookwood.com/) - Outdoor shopping plaza, lots of shops and restaurants.

All these places are very close, the farthest would be Rookwood and Florence Mall, being about 10-15 minutes tops.

 

[AdamTrioxin]

Since I am only in Florence, I would like to make it to the HERF. My problem is that deer season starts on the 8th and runs through the 23rd, my success or failure in the field will dictate my schedule, so I really can't commit to anything.

What would everyone think about going to Hooters and getting a reserved area and getting food and some drinks, then heading over to the Beer Sellar? They are both on a boat on the river right next to each other. This way we all get better food than bar food and can have a smoke or two, then after were good and full, head next door to the Beer Sellar where the alcohol selection is a lot better. Thoughts?

Sounds good... Just make sure we have a big enough area reserved. :tu

Won't be a problem.

 

[BengalMan]

Bump to the top. After talking to people, it seems that Nov. 8th will be the best day for this, so everyone mark your calenders.

 

[elderboy02]

I got it marked down for the 8th. :tu
