The Homecoming Committee worked hard to negotiate an excellent rate, especially with the Parke Co. Covered Bridge Festival happening at the same time, at the newly renovated Holiday Inn on US 41 just south of I-70. We still have a few rooms available for Friday 10/20 and Saturday 10/21. September 20 is the dead-line for the discounted rate; call the Holiday Inn at 1 812 2326081 and ask for Suzie Rutschow and mention KAPPA SIGMA.
The Holiday Inn, located at 3300 US Hwy 41 S, Terre Haute, IN47802, is also where we will have our Saturday Dinner and Dancing. A great way not to have to drive and keep the party together!
Charlie's Pub & Grub
Friday October 20th -- 6:30 PM - Done
1608 Crawford St, Terre Haute, IN
Phone: (812) 232-1886
Many may remember Charlie's Hideaway, a traditional place to stop after you had stopped at all of the other places! Well, the location hasn't changed, Charlie's Neighborhood Pub and Grub is still located at 1608 Crawford St., Terre Haute, IN. Last year at Homecoming we made an unscheduled stop at the urging of Little Sister, Becky McDermott-Smith. And are we glad that we followed her advice.
This year, we decided that Charlie's new and improved beer garden would be a scheduled dinner and commiseration destination. You can check out Charlie's menu here.
