It was a very pleasant weekend, with perfect weather and supportive crowds. Ironman probably had an impact on us, but there is always another event happening somewhere.
This weekend marks the start of October, and our last month at River for the season concluding with Head of the Hooch November 4-5. Chattanooga Oktoberfest® is currently being finalized, along with the Holiday Market series. From a planning/timeline perspective, 2024 is quickly becoming our new focus! The 2024 calendar is on the blank page, and we have started the process of working the puzzle again.
