Trentham/Trantham Gatherings
in TN
26th Annual Trentham Reunion
Gatlinburg, TN
2nd Saturday in August: August 13, 2011 at Holt Park
Gatlinburg, TN
9 AM til ...
Covered dish lunch at Noon
Bring genealogy stuff and
photos of your family members.
The older the photos the better.
You may wish to bring a lawn
chair (seating is at picnic tables.)
There are rest rooms and small
playground for the kids.
It's nice to go exploring along
the river that runs by the pavilion.
Directions:
|
Traveling from
Pigeon Forge into Gatlinburg... the very first thing you see
on your RIGHT as you enter Gatlinburg is Holt Park. There is
then a curve to the RIGHT. Stay in the right lane. Slow down
as you get in sight of the FIRST red light, because it's easy
to miss the little street. A few car lengths before you get to
the red light, on the RIGHT there is a small green sign up
high on a tall post that says "Holt Park". You turn RIGHT
there on the RIGHT side of that little sign. (This road turns
on the left side of what used to be the old Trentham Hardware
building. Not sure what is there now.) This is the first
right turn you can make after you go past the by-pass and
start into Gatlinburg. After you turn, the road immediately
"disappears" below you. You go DOWN the hill and then SHARP
RIGHT and follow road across a narrow bridge. The road dead
ends at the pavilion where our reunion is held. |
