Hi Al,

The Ambassador Hotel is the host hotel. You'll have to call to see if there are any rooms available.

10pm at the On Route before Port Hope is a bit ambitious for me too. I'd rather avoid the morning commuters. Looking to leave from Oakville around 10am. Hotel check-in is at 3pm, so getting to Kingston for 2 - 2:30pm is ideal. Willing to meet up with anyone else leaving around that time or at the On Route at around 11.

I'll definately stop at the Enroute, so it might work out. I'll look around the parking area for other vettes.

This just came in from John Price:

The Ambassador Hotel had a wedding group cancel a block of rooms so if anyone is in need of a room there should be some available. Rooms are not reserved under our name but just let them know you are part of the Corvette group to get the special $119 rate.

Looking forward to seeing the town full of Corvettes, it will be a sight to behold.

Does anyone know if the BBQ at the dealership is only available to the people doing the tours? Are the guided and self guided tours done with our cars or is there a tour bus? Does registration happen Saturday morning?

Thanks for the help

FRIDAY/SATURDAY REGISTRATION: A Registration table will be set up in the Lisbon Room, main floor of
the Ambassador Hotel Friday from 12:00 - 5:00 pm and Saturday 8:00 - 11:00 am. At this time you will be
given a lanyard ID tag to wear throughout the event.

SATURDAY AFTERNOON: Free time for those wanting to take a tour of historic Fort Henry, Kingston
Penitentiary, take a city tour on the Trolley or a cruise on the Island Queen. Individuals are required to
book their own tours, date and time and pay direct. The links to do so are provided below.

There is no BBQ as far as I know or any dealer

States after the tour the bus returns to Taylor Auto Mall (local chevy dealer) for group photo and BBQ as Taylors is one of the sponsors for the event

I hope everyone posting realizes that you had to pre-register for this event and pre-pay for the Saturday lunch and diner if you wanted them. If you haven't done this then as far as I know there is no option to show up and register. You should check with John or Heather Price to see if there is any last minute options; email hprice3@cogeco,ca for details.
