The Queen City Coopers (The Cincinnati Mini Club) is creating this event and we're invited. Cheryl and Chris Cane are helping Carol and Rob Rauch organize this event.

The catalyst for the drive began with buying tickets for RAIN at the Paramount Theater in Ashland KY for Thursday March 11th and the rest sort of happened like when my mum was asked by a beggar at the door "Would you mind sewing a coat on this button for me"

Here's the basic plan

I'll clean this up later <maybe>

Here’s the draft of the Rauch/Cane drive, dine, listen, event Thursday March 11th through Saturday March 13th

Highlights

1)      RAIN (Beatles Tribute Band – Thursday March 11th
2)      Blennerhassett Hotel (Parkersburg WV)
