Since we are from OOS, and heard that getting a bid was much harder for non-mississippi girls, we booked a room to make sure we were going to be there "just in case" she doesn't receive a bid. We are only going to be there Friday & Saturday night and we will fly home Sunday after bid day activities. If she doesn't need any extra encouragement, dinner at the City Grocery alone will make the trip worth it!
I feel like after all the work I put into the rush packets, the resume, the pictures, the frantic phone calls to my friends for recs, that I should at least get to share in some of the fun! Watching my daughter run to her new home on bid day will totally be worth the trip.
MP - We booked our room three months ago and found one of the last rooms in town at a exaggerated price. Tried last week to book one additional room, Batesville was the closest we could get. Your friend was not being picky, there are literally no rooms available for this weekend!
I guess that gives you a clue about how many parents will be there for bid day!
