ADTA Nation:
At West Virginia University football games, the most
raucous cheer (other than cheers about Pitt) happens where one side of the
stadium yells “Let’s Go” and the other responds “Mountaineers!” Check it
out against LSU, here
(bring it, Matt Bailey, we was robbed…..)
Let
Go ADTA! ExecD Peggy Schultz advises that all available junior suites at
the Greenbrier are taken. Grab that registration off of the corner of
your desk (we know where it is, and if it’s not there, get it here),
fill it out, and get it in.
Some
stuff about the Greenbrier you might not know. The Mint Julep has been around
the Greenbrier for a bit. “The oldest account book at The Greenbrier
dates from 1816 and reveals that guests ordered "julips" at a cost of
25 cents per drink.” According to CocktailTimes, the mint julep originated in the Virginias, and “first appeared in
print in 1803 described as a "dram of spirituous liquor that has mint in
it, taken by Virginians in the morning." Maybe we’ll ask the
Kentucky ADTA contingent to weigh in, as the Derby borrowed the Julep and made
it famous. Want to try one before you come? Get the Greenbrier
recipe here.
(Heck, make the official Kentucky Derby recipe
and see which is better….). I’ll be sipping one at the lobby bar.
Julia prefers the “ItalianSidecar” which they light on fire…...
Still
hesitating? Want more Greenbrier? Go here
