First of all I would like to apologize for my poor choice of words, i.e. "shut.....etc." I was bristled a bit by someone saying that George was "carring baggage, etc." All the ads by me early on was adequately explained long ago. That said, I asked Ron Long the owner of Charlton Hall about the state sales tax. as was stated in a previous post only that which is paid for and collected in South Carolina will be subject to state sales tax. Everything that is shipped out of state by common carrier will not. That is not CH's policy that is state law. For those of you who plan to attend and stay over I checked on a brand new Hampton Inn one-half block away from CH and as of yesterday they still have rooms available. Their info is:

This Hampton Inn & CH are both located in the VISTA area of Columbia where most of the night life happens to be.
Best Regards, George
