From what I understand the CNC staff are either looking over all the bids or are waiting for them to be returned from the host towns prospects. My daughter works for the Town of Williamston planning dept and she said the tourism Dept there got a letter in the mail wanting to know what they could offer if the their town was choosen for the Spring Retreat. She even had me to give them a call to let them know what to expect. I even sent them one of my Cycle North Carolina videos.
I can't wait either. Spring will be here before we know it.
