The only dates we can get at area hotels are April 18th & 19th. The host hotel will be the AmeriHost Inn & Suites. It is located at the junction of Route 33 & East State Street. Their phone # is 740-594-3000. When you call, mention that you are with the Athens Spring Cruise. They are saving a block of 20 rooms but we can add more if needed. The rate is $ 84.99 and they will have a wash station set up for our use. They also have an indoor pool and Continental breakfast. If the weather is warm enough we are hoping to have a cook out on their patio area Saturday night.

I will have more finalized later this week. I'm hoping to have Damon's portable grill for the Saturday dinner & Chris and I will host a bbq for the Friday arrivals at our house. I have a meeting tonight with the gm from Damon's and will meet with the Chevy dealer tomorrow. Plans are to have a Cruise In at Damon's parking lot on Saturday and and a reception at the Chevy dealership. I'm lining up sponsors for the Cruise In awards and we should have some cool plaques, trophies, etc. There will probably be a charge for the cookout on Saturday and if we don't have too many I'll try to cover the cost of Friday myself.

Since Sunday is Easter I thought it would be approtiate to cruise through the scenic Hocking Hills on that day. Please let me know when you can about attending so I can plan for Friday, etc. I have some other things lined up for door prizes but will post that info when I get the rest finalized. More to come....

 

Sounding good Mark.

I'll have to check dates with the S/O because we're heading out to Colorado sometime in April for a week or so.

 

Damon's grill will be at the hotel Saturday night for our use. We will have to provide our own steaks, burgers etc. More tomorrow.

 

Put me on the list...don't know single or double but I'll be there....

 

Mark,

Put us down for 2 and thanks for arranging all of this - sounds :cool:

Look forward to seeing some familiar faces (and some new ones), maybe with the new exhaust installed.

 

Mark,

That sounds like a good time. Keep me in mind for 2 people.

 

Hey Mark. How'd you like to have a club from the Charleston / Huntington, WV area? I'll pass this info along to the members. :cheers:

 

I was hoping you all would see this. It should be a great time for all who attend.

 

I actually saw the thread in the C5 General section, then came here. Us poor folks in WV seem to have been placed in the wrong region...Northeast. Most of the stuff that goes on there is up in NJ, MA and DE.

Sounds like a great time. We'll keep you posted. :seeya

 

we can make it in for saturday's activities. are you going to post a schedule?

 

I hope to have a schedule up within the next week. I still have to finalize the dealership reception.

 

Try to make one of the days if you can=we have vettes fm Huntington that have gotten together with this group (they drive up through Chilicothe)-and I am fm WV as well

 

Sounds great! I hope I can get my technical difficulties ironed out by then. Lately, my Vette is in the shop more than on the road. :(

 

As an Ohio University alumni I am in. I do not need a place to stay, I will be staying with friends
