We parked in club parking last year & that was GREAT! Gave us VIP access to and from the show. This was especially good after the Beach Boys Concert!

I am hoping to go on the 16th. I'm not sure what the calendar is looking like. I need to pick up some parts so I will drive my truck there so I can haul them back. It'll be kind of hard to bring back a front and rear bumper, leave springs, seat backs, e-brake console, carpeting etc. Besides, I should be saving some money on shipping.

I moved this thread to the National & International events forum because it really is an international event (it just happens to be held in the Midwest Region). 

I started a thread back in January (MAM FunFest - 2006) about the event and will be setting up a couple more in the near future to get names and contact info about who will be attending and who can help man the C3VR tent.

Hope to see as many C3VR members as possible while there.  btw - the closest room I could book was in Mattoon which is about 30 miles north of Effingham.

Its hard to find a room  near by if you have never been . Keep calling the hotels and check for cancellations . Once you get in one then you can reserve it each year thereafter. We got ours because of the hurricanes two years ago and several people canceled, now we are preferred guests because we stayed the year before. Makes me wonder about those poor folks that canceled, where are they staying now?

It is well worth the effort to be there !

Rather than start another thread about who'll be there I thought it would be easier to "commandeer" this one...!!!     

If you have already replied to this thread please update your entry with:
- your name and the names of folks with you,
- where you will be staying,
- when you plan to arrive, and
- when you plan to head for home. 

Between Scott and I we'll keep the list at the top of the thread updated as best we can.

Thanks!

My wife and I stayed here the 1st year that we went to Funfest.

http://www.timberslodge.com/

It was excellant with the exception you have a shared bathroom down the hall from your room. It is great if you are traveling with a group.
restraunt is good as well. we went back last yesr as a group and ate there and found it to still be good. They serve home style cooking.

71 is now running again. Someone has been in the wiring harness that should not have been there ..   

For those of you that have never been ... Funfest is not just a bunch of Corvettes in a field. This is REO Speedwagon, this is Corvette Mania, This is Corvette Heaven for just these few days a year.

Pack your bags , quit your jobs , rent your kids out for a weekend and join us for the Corvette Party of the year !

If we take the "White Zombie" this will mark the 1st year I haven't stayed up the entire night the day before cleaning on a car in the garage. I may go out and clean on Tux anyway so's he dont' feel neglected.

11 More Days ! 

Are you ready , shined, repaired, fueled, hoteled, packed.

The 71 is ready for the trip (as of right this moment , it all works)

Start cleaning and claybaring the 77 today and get it ready. It really looks bad beside the 71 now that the 71 is all clean .

This was posted on the CAC site today if it will help anyone find a room.

Limited rooms are available to CAC members at Super 8 Motel at exit 159 (hwy. 32/33 exit). This is just 2 miles (approx.) from the site. I just spoke to General Manager Anthony Shimboff (217-342-6888) and he said that for the general public, he's full, but for CAC, he's got a small number of rooms avail. for Fri. and Sat. evenings. My price was $93.99 per night for queen - nonsmoking. Concerning the price, he said most hotels are over $110 / nt. for the weekend...if you can find anything. I asked permission to post this availability, which he gave, so tell him you're with the corvette group and saw this post from Steve Conn of Memphis.

Wadda ya mean think yer crazy? I've seen yer Cj pics... Ya ain't "normal" I reckon that would imply that I'm right there wit ya bro...

Jury is still out on if Tux getsta go My lovely bride would be pretty content in drivin that white thang. I probally will concede with her this time. Although Tux is all shined up and ready I won't have any spare time ta spend towards the trip this week.
I am kicking off a project at work this week that has been in the making since March. This requires an insane amount of extra time. (Fact is I just got home and left at 11:00 this morning.) I had agreed to work with people on the 3rd shift hours this week however due to some software issues I will be in @ 3:00am Monday.
One of the fellows who works for me son passed away in a car wreck. His funeral is Monday morning. So I am cut a little shorter.
Then I received a call from the nursing home that my grandmother passed away this morning. Needless ta say I wouldn't mind being cloned out right now. I suppose once I take time ta breath I will digest some of the stress and emotions twirlin around inside me.
Bottom line is I am really looking forward ta the show this year.... I need a break right now!

Thanxs, She was 91 years young. My grandfather passed away last year and she developed alzheimers shortly thereafter.
She left kinda cool though... Saturday she had all of her clothes stacked on the foot of her bed out of the drawers. She said that "Daddy" my grandfather told her to get them out and ready cause he was commin to take her home.
We left them there cause she wouldve thrown a fit an there weren't but a few night clothes.
I guess he came when we weren't lookin cause she was gone this morning after breakfast.

Larry, so sorry to hear about both of your grandparents.  I lost both of my parents last year and it still smarts once in awhile.  Take some time off, do what you have to do for your family (and yourself), and we'll see you when we see you.
