I'd like to have it around an event - to better justify the cost - though I know going to FunFest or some other event might be a bit more expensive. The Branson, MO corvette event (ask the Pumpkins and Bob Hamilton for info) might be a candidate, as some of us discussed at C3X, and it would be a neat place to visit - plus it's at least midway across the country. Whereever folks decide on, I'm flexible and will try to go.

My only concern is that if we hold it somewhere other than C3X, will support for C3X fall off? I hope not, since it's just getting started. I'd hate to see the NCM cancel it for lack of attendence. I'd try to do both, if possible.

Support for C3X doesn't have to stop, and we don't have to stop going, it's just that the annual "official" gathering may not be there.

By the way, an advantage to going somewhere that there is not an event already happening... it will be much easier to find a hotel that we can all stay at together!

I am going to VOTE... ".for a weekend meeting NOT at an event..."

BUT I strongly urge that we at least try to set up REGIONAL yearly weekend meetings in addition to National Meetings...

Heck If I lived in the Rebublic of Kalifornia or Oregon IF I wanted to attend the a meeting in Kentucky I would have to fly in and be carless
NOT much fun without the car...

I LOVED the Hershey weekend... skipped the Meusem because of distance... 

Just my opinion..

Not to crowd the thread with suggestions. I have to admit, Hershey was a blast.

And just to have as many C3VR members as possible get together and have a great time is most important. Corvette's, conversation, and beer is where it's at for me.

I'd like to try someplace fun with nice scenery and great activities. If that includes another event that's ok. As Tricer said Branson Mo. was discussed. Plenty of rooms and if our meeting was held during the corvette show that would be no problem at all. The branson corvette show is a small show 150 + cars. June 9,10,& 11th are the dates. Branson is quite a show place and its in the ozark mountains.

Personnally, I could have a good time anywhere. I,d find a way to make my own fun and get eveyone else involved with me - it's just the way I am. I would like to see a kind of half way point between east and west coast so that all would be afforded the opportunity to attend. With enough advanced warning and planning, most of us could schedule vacation time then. It would be great to be around vette people for a week Hell I can pitch a tent or sleep under the stars anywhere in the world and would probably be better off than most hotels.

Would be nice if it was closer to the members out west for a change.

Naturally, there is only one choice for the 2006 C3VR Gathering Location anyway when it comes to great weather year-round, awesome scenery coming in from any direction, an endless list of fun things to do and see while there and where PARTY TIME is a standard method of operation 24/7/365!

    LAS VEGAS   

 

I also can only do one long trip a year and would love to see a gethering in 2006 on the West Coast  This spring I took my truck to "Mopars at the Strip" in Vegas and walked away with a First Place.  I think Vegas would be a awsome/fun location

I vote for Larry's house. He puts on one great BQ. I would like to attend if its within a 2 day run.

If it was near the Mississippi River, half way between New Orleans and Cananda, I would go. And I would hope many, many other members would make it also.
Let's make it a 4-5 day event so it is worth the ride for those that are a day or two away.
If the events, activities, meetings, cruises, etc. were Monday to Friday, we could travel on the weekends.

This could be the C3VR Heartland of America Festival.
