To those readers of this blog who are descendants of the the Love Family (you know who you are because you received an email invitation to this event), I promised to post information that you might find useful if attending the reunion. Here is the first installment, places to stay near the farm.
You already have the address of the farm in your save-the-date email. The following locations are all sited within 25 miles of the farm. There's no particular order to the listings. All dollar amounts are just guidelines and are subject to change. Please contact me if you have any questions regarding places to stay. All locations except #1 and the campground serve breakfast.
[I'm sorry, I don't think the links will link even after all my hard work on this].
1. Innkeeper Motel. 401 State St., Hamel, IL 62046 (618) 633-2111 $45/night

6. Super 8. 1527 Herman Road, Staunton, IL 62088 $75/night
This is only about 15 miles from the farm, in nearby Staunton. (618) 635-5353

7. Rustic Acres Campground. New Douglas, IL (217) 456-1122 This is about 15-20 miles
from the farm, if anyone is interested in camping.
If this list isn't adequate I suggest looking in Troy, IL, which is about 10 miles from Hamel down I-55. Alton , IL, is about 21 miles from the farm and is another possibility.
We've only ever stayed in #2 and #3 and we like both and can recommend them. #3 is only a few years old (same for #4, I think). We don't have first-hand experience with the other places so use the reviews to help make your decision. Can't wait to see those of you who can come to the reunion!!
Next post will have things of interest to see or do in the Madison County area.
