I am making plans for a "local" get together.... That being said I am starting this thread as an open invitation for area members to join Mrs. Tux... and I on December the 6th at Johnny Carinos in Columbus, Indiana. Tenatively 6 pm would be the time of dinner.

Afterwards we may do a little Christmas shopping at the Fair Oaks Mall if the group is interested.

By posting this thread I would like to know who might be interested so that I can make the reservation in advance. I also need to let Santa know......

Remember .... Tis the season to be Jolly.......

Tux...

Sounds like fun, but unfortunately we've got a previous engagement that day over in Illinois. However, that one has been an "on-again, off-again" kind of thing. If it does fall through, we'd love to come. I'll keep ya postedmanget12008-11-23 12:05:15

Naw its for Butchie now that Blue Beast of his.....

Man I sure hope some more of the "local" C3VR folks see this and sign up. I know there were several new sign up members at Funfest and I was hoping this would be a good opertunity to sit, eat, relax, and talk Vettes -n- stuff with em.

Maybe talk about starting some monthly cruises when springtime rolls around...

Just a thought.....

No haggle deal for $74.00 a night. I would place a "Name your own price" bid of $60.00 and see if it will go. I use Priceline for this.

Mitch,

There are two major hotel groups. The first one is at I65 and SR46. It has a Sleep Inn, Holiday Inn, Knights Inn, and a couple more. The second major area is at I65 and US31. It has a lot of hotels. Most have been built in the last 5 years or so. It has a Holiday Inn Express, Hilton Gardens, Red Roof, Best Western,... The I65 and US31 area also has the Edinburgh Outlet Mall and a large antique mall.

If I can help let me know.

Tom

Knights Inn was cheaper but I didn't like the reviews.

Red Roof Inn has the best deal and is a nice hotel with a no haggle price of $60.00. It is in Taylorsville. Which is about 7 miles from downtown Columbus. The outdoor Edinburgh Mall is very nice and could be something we could visit versus the Fair Oaks Mall.

Tux, sounds like your going to have a great get together tomorrow night at Johnny's. Won't be able to join you all this go, but hope to at another time.

To all of you, enjoy the evening, the great conversation, the oil (10w30 synthetic) and most of all remember what this season is all about. We are so fortunate in these troubled times.

Well I know it's gonna be tuff.... what with Joel not able to attend and Micki (bless her heart) making a plea for us to slip over to Texas.

Gary or anyone else if you can attend please do. I am sure we can persuade the folks at Johnny Carino's to provide us with a few extra seats.
