$134 a night unless you are a member then its $131
You can cancel this reservation free of charge until Monday, July 24, 2017 before 4PM EST


Those that do not want to go the night before but would like to roll in with us please be at the hotel in the parking lot by 715 am EST/ 615 am CST. We will be departing at 730 am EST/ 630 am CST sharp to head over. The show grounds actually open up at 8 am and if we can be closer that works for me.

The drive from the hotel is about 30 mins if we take the scenic route with turns.

If you want to just come later that is fine but we probably cannot hold spots.


Dinner for those staying overnight.

Walking to a place right near the hotel. http://aubrees.com/menu-kickoffs

Eat around 7 pm.

For those that might want to cruise over together what would you all think about this? Meeting at the Oasis near Southland and cruise over to Redamacks for lunch. Then taking backroads from Redamacks to the hotel.

It would be about a 2 hour drive if we do backroads from lunch to the hotel.

The girl was talking about possibly doing this one again. Nice time even if it rained.

Also remember our tents.

Yep was thinking we can bring a tent or two and since there was not really a place to sit and eat (plus the food was a bit lacking) maybe we can all work on things to bring with or something. Thoughts? I mean hell the dudes in the rv behind us had a damn grill and a margarita maker!

Plus there could be a slight chance I take the Durango instead of the Charger so we will have something to haul stuff. We will see closer to time.

Sounds good with taking food, def lacking in that area.

Don't forget to book your room if you are going over on Friday afternoon/ night.

Does anyone want to meet up ahead of time?
