Here’s some info from Jan and an update on accommodations, tho you’re welcome to stay wherever you like.
“If you’ve never been to Galena before, it’s a very fun and historical place with oodles of great shopping. The overnight destination is the pub.
FOR THOSE GOING TO GALENA on March 23rd, and staying at the Irish cottage hotel, see below for confirming your room at the $189 price, plus $20 for amenities, full breakfast, etc. Regular room rate is $249 so it is a discount.
