Hospices Du Rhone 2015???

by TomHill » Wed Jun 17, 2015 10:57 am

The 23'rd Hospices Du Rhone was held at end of April at BlackberryFarms. Surely...but Shirley...somebody has a report on the event?? KenZinns, maybe?? ComeOn, folks....don't hold out on us...we need to see that report!!!

The only information I've heard was that a bunch of rabble-rousers held some kind of a BarBQue there on the BlackberryFarm's grounds, led by a bunch of hard-drinking French guys, that the chocolate brownies this year were laced with maryiwanna, and the Tennessee National Guard were called out to bring the crowd under control. Sorta like in the old days, I guess.

Looking at the HdR official WebSite, it looks pretty stale, with nothing since 2012. Have they officially pulled the plug on that organization?? Or is it just BlackberryFarms running the event now?? Curious minds want to know.

You don't know? I don't either, but I thought you were the official mascot of the event!

For what it's worth, the news release machine stopped several years ago, probably around the same time as the website stopped updating.

Sadly, sometimes those things run for a while, are super, but then for whatever reason run their course.

Weren't they forced to change the name of the event a few years ago?

I don't recall that, but TomHill has probably followed it from the very start ...

Not that I know, David. The name HdR is trademarked and the first one at Blackberry was run under the auspices
of the HdR organization in Paso.
