PLANNING TRAVEL
If flying in, PLEASE TRY to book flights with reasonable arrival and departure times to facilitate easy sharing of rides to and from Toccoa on Thursday and Sunday.
Atlanta airport - 2 hour drive. (Traffic gets crazy around 3:00 weekdays.)
Teachers - 4:00 meeting on Thursday.
Consider sharing a ride like a rental. Write registrar@palmettotatters.org to share your travel plans to see who wants to share a ride.
PTG may be able to help with rides. If want to help, let us know.
Be courteous and thoughtful in your planning.
Thursday Airport Arrival: Ideally between 10 and 1:00 and be willing to wait a little bit for others to arrive to share a ride.
Sunday Airport Departure: Ideally after 1:00 (Leaving Toccoa by 9:00 after a good breakfast, 2 hours to airport, arriving 2 hours ahead of flight time.)
Thank you! See you in September!!!!!!!

PLAN NOW....

2) Banquet: Will you wear a tail? Or tell a tale at your table?
3) Save your change each week! Registration ($85), Room (3 nights double-occupancy) + 7 Meals ($265/per person), Banquet ($18), Extra meals $9.25, Online Donations, Silent Auction, Live Auction, and Vending.
4) Tat a unique lanyard! (Optional)
5) Find your name badge holder from previous years, if you have one, and put it in your suitcase. :-)
SEE YOU IN TOCCOA!
Emptying shuttles? Make butterflies, animals, spiders, owls, flowers, etc., and bring to Tat Days for our SC State Fair BIG sharing of tatting bits in October. No string attached or long strings for necklaces are both much appreciated.
NOTE: Costs are the SAME as 2018.
Commuter Fee will be $27 per day. Most choose to stay on campus and the commuter fee is included in their room costs. If an individual chooses to stay off-campus, and that is perfectly fine, then the Center charges us $26.38 + tax per commuter per day. We are not able to absorb this cost so we must pass it on. Thank you for understanding.
You can post your photos from our Tat Days on our Facebook page. Just look for the Palmetto Tatters Guild page. And we welcome any tatted related posts there, too. Thanks! Be SURE to have permission of all the folks with faces in the picture before posting. THANKS!
What is Tat Days? One tatter writes: "I am so excited I can hardly STAND it! ;-) You'd think I was 5 years old and waiting for Christmas, my birthday, and a trip to the circus, all rolled into one. ;-)"
Tat Days is a time for all level tatters (tried it a little to advanced) to come together and tat ("art of making lace") for 48 hours. Well maybe only 45; we do sleep a little! There will be a variety of 1.5 to 3 hour classes to select from with various items being created and new techniques being learned. There will be lots of time to chat and learn from other tatters. Show 'N Tell will be exciting as folks bring out works of art they have created. And of course fun, games, and good food. Meet back up with old friends and make new ones. Find out you no longer need to keep tatting by yourself in your closet because there are tatters all across the globe. Tatting started out as an edging on sheets and clothing. It is much, much more than that now. As you scrolled down this page and browse our site, you will see many examples of tatted lace. Or take a look at our About Us page. Enjoy!
NO T-Shirts this year. 
If you need to cancel (we hope you do not need to cancel!), to receive a full refund, a cancellation must be received on or before August 3. Read full cancellation policy
