We could have had a VIP Event. Actually, I have been up here in the Northeast visiting with family and would not have been in Tennessee during the time of your visit. Hope you enjoyed your stay, sounds like you did.<br><br>btw, did you eat any GooGoo bars? Do you even know what a GooGoo bar is?</font></p><p><font size="3" face="Comic Sans MS">If you are not from around this area, you probably don't know what I'm asking about.</font></p><br><br>Message Edited by Mountie on <span class="date_text">10-17-2008</span> <span class="time_text">04:41 PM</span> Fri, 17 Oct 2008 19:15:08 GMT http://community.luxurylink.com/t5/VIP-Blog/Nashville/bc-p/18083 Mountie 2008-10-17T19:15:08Z http://community.luxurylink.com/t5/VIP-Blog/Nashville/bc-p/18090 Hey, mountie. Nice idea about a VIP Event in Nashville, but that was not in the cards. <br><br>I do happen to know about GooGoo Clusters (I don't think they are called bars).....I've tasted all three varieties (not really my confections of choice....nothing personal against the Standard Candy Company). <br><br>I have even purchased and given some to friends and associates after business trips to Nashville.
