Adam,
I will be glad to help! Just tell me what you need!
We have done the lodging thing and the Vette Show is only 1/2 of a day on Saturday, so you can either do what is on their fun list or something else.
As far a restuarants go there is a great Cajun place directly accross the street from the host hptel or a family restuarant with a Friday and Saturday night buffet with Prime rib on it within a 1/2 block.
We also have most of the major chains accross town. Email me if you want more specific details on each of them or all the choices.

John,
I noticed Hot Springs has some historic bath houses and museums. Do you think they would be interesting for a group of tourists like us?
And does the car show have a schedule for 2008 yet?

I do think it would be interesting for all in attendance and I have included details on some the items to do here of interest below.
There is a great tour of a restored bath house on bathhouse row the Fordyce. It is part of the National Park Service. The Fordyce has been restored to it's orginal state during the heyday of Hot Springs.
You can also get a bath and massage at the Buckstaff, it is the only working bath house on the row.
There are outdoor natural springs to view as well as a very scenic Pomanade walk behind bathhouse row.
We also have Mid-America Museum, a world class facility and worth attending.
There is also Garven Woodlawn Gardens, A world class botanical garden. It should be in full bloom during that weekend.
There will also be simucast horse racing at Oaklawn Park during our weekend for those that like the ponies.
The Vette Show web site has all the info on it: www.centralarkcc.com for details. The Central Arkansas Corvette Club does a great job.
Hope this helps! If you need more info let me know! John
