Join your fellow Kentucky Crushed Stone Association members on June 28-30 at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC. We are optimistic that we will be able to get together in person for our summer meeting. The Biltmore Estate remains dedicated to the well-being of their guests, employees and community and is committed to public safety standards that brings everyone a peace of mind. They have safely adapted estate experiences and enhanced their stringent disinfection procedures in accordance with CDC guidelines and industry best practices.

This is a new location for our meeting and we know you will thoroughly enjoy your time at this historical property located in the mountains of North Carolina. We have secured rooms at two different hotel properties that are close to one another. The Village hotel is located at the Antler Hill Village, near the Winery and the location of our Monday night reception/dinner. The Inn is located just above the Village Hotel. Both properties offer a unique experience while you are staying at the Biltmore. Please see the details below on these two properties.

On Monday, June 28, our business meeting will take place from 1:00 - 5:00 p.m. (EST) followed by a reception/dinner that night starting at 6:30 p.m. As we did not meet in 2020, Tuesday, June 29 will be an open day to allow everyone to network and catch up with one another and enjoy the Biltmore property and experience as many activities as possible.

Please allow at least 15-20 minutes for the shuttle ride to the meeting. As we were not able to meet last summer, we will recognize all the safety award winners from 2019 and 2020.
