I got an email from our good friends Tracy and Larry and they asked me to share it here in hopes that someone will be able to keep the North Carolina tradition going.

So we won't be hosting the gathering because we will be busy waiting for our Grandbaby ! I was hoping someone else might be able to do the Gathering OR you all are already having the NC Loop so that could be the Gathering for NC this year. We will miss seeing all our friends this year, but SOooo excited about a Grandbaby ! LOL Take care all have a great trip on the loop ! Tracy & Larry
