As of last week ALL of the rooms reserved for Vette Fest at the Park Vista Hotel were sold out!

I was told yesterday that they may open up some more rooms. Call them NOW if you want a room! Call 865 277 1039 and ask for Jennifer,

Be aware that you don't have to stay at the Park Vista to participate in Vette Fest.

Event registration will be from 1-6 PM on Friday and 8-10 AM on Saturday at the Park Vista Hotel.

Tom

The Park Vista DID open up 18 more rooms for us but they were quickly taken.

Vette Fest is looking good!!

I've never had trouble getting a room in the past. I'm on a list in case of any cancellations.
I'll make it a day trip if nothing else opens up.

Know that you don't have to have a room at the Park Vista to take part in Vette Fest!

Stay any where you want and come up to the Park Vista and register to take part in Vette Fest. You can register Friday 1-6PM or Saturday 8-10AM in the Park Vista lobby.

Hope to see you there!

Tom

I'm not sure what you mean by "running a little behind" but things were exactly on time time as far as the Vette Fest Friday itinerary was concerned! On Friday registration was 1-6pm and the Hospitality rooms were at 6:30pm and the dance at 9pm. All on time!

We did have a surprise visitor this year at Vette Fest!



Even *I* was surprised! So surprised that I didn't have my camera and had to take this pic with my phone. This guy was good! He even talked like Elvis.
