According to the vote, looks like Branson it is for 2017!

Now we need to pick a date. Personally, I'd prefer June 21-25 so that my son is out of school in case he wants to come with me. But we should do whatever works best for John & Mike since they have so graciously offered to put it together.


Mike's78vette said: I do not want to jump ahead of the final vote for location but if it is Branson both John Grant and I can host if it is held on one of these dates:
June 7-11
June 14-18
June 21-25
May is not a good month for us. 

Anyone else have any preferences out of these three dates?

I talked with Hotel Manager and her recommendation was earlier in June the better due to less crowds and cooler weather.  John and I are still good for the dates already mentioned.  Lets see some comments by those who are planning to come.

I agree with Mike that earlier in June would be better for weather and crowds, (prefer the June 7-11 if I had a choice) but any one of the June dates is OK with us.

Don't really care about the date. Other than temperature considerations(I live in a furnace so it doesn't matter to me) are there any special events that we may be interested during any of those weekends?

Well, since we are definitely voting (seems to be a popular event this year), 7-11 June fits our schedule best but any other time in the year would work.  June -- no snow so the vette can get out of the garage.

Are we there yet?

Hi Dave,
I looked at events in Branson and surrounding area for the month of June and nothing pops up at this time. I will keep my eye out for any corvette/car related activities. I bet you are not going to miss that NY weather this winter.
Mike
I thought I posted this under Dave C post. Guess I need to learn how to respond to a post.

I'm heading back to western NY this early December to visit family. There is an outside shot of my place getting snow before Buffalo, no Lake Erie by me to keep the temperature up and the snow at bay. 

Not worried about special events, was just curious.  

Thanks

Looks like June 7-11,2017 is the preferred date. John and I are going to call it and say June 7-11, 2017 is the date of the C3VR 2017 Gathering in Branson Mo.  The hotel we recommend is the Branson Towers. Our local corvette club has stayed here many times and have never had a problem or complaint. The web site is: http://www.bransontowershotel.com/

I will be posting the reservation process along with other information after we get a contract with the hotel.
The negotiated summer group rate is $80.35 including all taxes. This is for a double queen. A king will be $5 more and a suite $55 more. Hotel is located off the main Branson highway 76.


PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT THE HOTEL UNTIL WE POST THE RESERVATION PROCESS!
