February 13 Valentine's Evening at the Hancock House - sponsored by Chris & Lori Provencher   The Procenchers are promising another great Valentine outing this year, guaranteed to impress your Sweetheart, and possibly create that little Spark.   Well maybe. But, it will give you a head start at impressing that someone special in you life, regardless of the final outcome.     The Provenchers have a special place in mind for your Valentine's 2010. To help work up an appetite, they are inviting the Music City Miata Club to join them on a planned excursion through the backroads of northern middle Tennessee. This should get us in the mood when we arrive at the "Hancock House"www.bbonline.com/hancock / (615) 452-8431, located at 2144 Nashville Pike in Gallatin TN.   The Hancock House is a spacious 15-room colonial revival log inn located in the rolling hills of middle Tennessee. Beautiful farmland lies in full view across the road, and a horse farm adjoins the property. Even though it is "out in the country," you are just 25 miles northeast of Nashville. Prior to purchasing the inn in 1978, Felice Ferrell was the owner and proprietor of a nationally known antique establishment, for over 50 years, in the main part of the inn. Historically, the inn is a pre-1878 stage coach stop and toll gate house known as Avondale Station on the famous Avery Trace. Over the years, two small cabins have been attached to the rear of the original structure. A quaint courtyard, just off the dining room, is nestled between the three structures. A two-story cabin has been added across the lawn from the main house creating a private retreat. Wide hardwood floors, exposed beams, numerous "nooks and crannies", fireplaces, interior log walls, area rugs, period furniture and antiques abound throughout creating a warm, cozy atmosphere that rekindles memories of a bygone era. Five bedrooms, each with private bath and fireplace, are available for overnight guests. Four of the guest rooms are in the main house, and the fifth is housed in the separate two-story cabin. Guests choose when and where (bedroom, dining room, or outdoor courtyard) to receive breakfast.  The Provenchers have made arrangements for us to have a choice of dinners entrees: A 10-12 ounce Filet Mignon at $34.95, Grilled Salmon at $18.95 & Grilled Chicked Breast at $14.95. Each dinner includes yeast rolls, choice of salad, two vegetables, tea or coffee & desert. You are welcome to bring your own wine, as they do not have an alcohol license.   They will have three rooms available for that night at reduced rates, if anyone would like to spend the evening and have breakfast the next morning.   So, talk to your Sweety, and let the Provenchers know (Ltminch661@aol.com or their home # is no longer in service. You should contact Lori at (615) 719-1124 OR Chris at (615) 719-3156. ) of your interest in attending and your selected entrees. And, if your choice is the Filet, we need to know how you would like it cooked. The staff at the Hancock House are looking foward to making this a special Valentine's evening for you and the Club, as they will have no problem handling a group of our size. Lori has booked advance reservations for 40, and can increase that number as needed.   Lori will need a preliminary headcount by Jan. 24. So, make it easy on yourself, RSVP and "Join the Fun" as the Music City Miata Club does Valentine's up right in 2010. Point of departure and time to be announced.   KISS !  KISSS !  VROOM !
