The Official Convention Hotel for the 9th District Convention
April 20 - 21, 2007

Hometown Inn - Ringgold, GA

In addition to the actual convention on Saturday, April 21, at Lakeview High School in Fort Oglethorpe, there will be a banquet and other festivities leading up to the 9^th District Republican Convention on Friday evening. The Catoosa County GOP has secured a special rate for hotels for those who are attending Friday night’s banquet and don’t want to travel back home to return on Saturday. The Catoosa GOP has worked extremely hard to make this one of the best conventions ever. The hotel is new, and we get a rate of $46. per night if you tell them it’s with the Republican Party. It is also the nearest hotel to the convention events Friday evening and Saturday. Area map with directions to the hotel may be found on the hotel web site: http://www.hometowninnringgold.com/map.htm
