Midwest Spring Show Dates

[Snochaser]

No prob.. Be sure to enjoy it gents. Not sure if I'd have my stuff ready by then anyway. Arrggg!!

[pigeonfarmboy]

I have more stuff than I can drive at once. Come on over if your plans happen to change.

Lynn called the hotel and it looks like they're booked that weekend. Not sure what's going on that weekend here.

I'll look at the calendar and see what our next options would be.

[pigeonfarmboy]

Let's do the same weekend as last spring.

June 13-14

That work for everyone?

[tc1cat]

Should be a go for me. Hope there are rooms for the motel!!

[TRUCKMAKER]

Ok but let's get it nailed down, I've had reservations at best western for 2 weeks and put in for vacation for Memorial Day weekend, hope I can get all changed. I haven't chimed in because our facility was put up for sale and sold, the deal doesn't close until tomorrow at midnight and I don't "officially" know who I'm working for until Thursday.

[Snochaser]

I will be good for the 13th at a minimum.

[FabOne]

I will NOT be able to make it the weekend of the June13th and 14th due to prior engagement.

DieselKid will probably be getting back to you, to let you know his plans.

You guys enjoy and I'll be catching up with all of you soon!

Keep Forrest (Alex) in line!!

as of now im good for either weekend but I agree with Truckmaker that we need a solid date to shoot for.

After getting messages from a few, let's stick with the original Memorial Day weekend dates. No need to change the date because 1 person can't get a room at the motel. I think that more people can be there on the original date than the new one. I will be there just maybe not for as long as I want. My problem not anyone else's.

I posted this thread 10-28-2014, not sure how much more notice I can give. I got very little feedback on what was wanted or what would work and who is coming.

It won't just be Lynn that's out for a room, if others are coming that haven't reserved a room, they would be in the same situation unfortunately.

Kent said there were rooms left for the weekend of May 9-10th. That Sunday is Mother's Day, would it work?

Let's make a decision before the end of the week so we'll have something set to aim for. I know we can't please everyone's busy schedules but I'd like to include as many as we can.

It looks like a lot of rooms available in Champaign area (18-19 miles from Monticello) for Memorial Day weekend (May 22nd - 25th).

Nate, is that correct at 18-19 miles to Champaign? DieselKid and I drove that far last October to our hotel and that wasn't too bad. Actually it was well worth it after having a blast all day.

It would be nice that weekend because we gain an extra day, but I know it gets into family time with it being the holiday weekend.

What ever works for the majority.

[DieselKid]

I'd prefer to stick with Memorial Day weekend if at all possible, just because we gain the extra day without taking vacation.

Up to you guys though.

If you thought that Memorial Day caused problems with the family, Mother's Day is worse by far!!! Keep the original dates and I will just have to drive a little bit more than I want to. Had to get a motel room about an hour away from the NRA Show in Nashville for next weekend. Not paying their prices for a place to sleep plus all are sold out within 25 miles.

[pigeonfarmboy]

Champaign is definitely an option. Only 20 minutes max and might be cheaper than Monticello.

I'll make the call, let's do Memorial Day weekend. I'll create a new thread to make that a clear message.

[FabOne]

DieselKid and I are in.

We got a hotel room (La Quinta Inn) in Champaign and will be arriving Friday afternoon and staying until Monday.

See you then!
