I spoke with Mary Ann Brown at the Tonawanda Powertrain Plant. 
They are doing tours!!! Yeah!!! AND IT'S FREE!!!  Clap

No open toed shoes or rings are allowed. So bring your sneakers/shoes and put your rings in your pocket. Thank you! Big smile

UPDATE: There are now 3 tours scheduled! I have room for 60 people now.

Tours are 9-10:30am/11:30-1:00pm and 1:30-3:00pm. According to Mary Ann.

She said there is a limit of 20 people per tour. So for now I have scheduled a morning and afternoon tour. If we get more than 50 I can schedule 3 tours from my understanding. 

So I need all of you that want to go and see the Corvette engine being made to give me your full name. This included spouses and kids. If you don't want to post your full names here PM me with your info. I need a head count by JUNE 30TH.

What Sarge didn't say was those who may not want to go to the plant will have the opportunity to to head up to Niagara Falls with some other options in the Falls area a possibility, still working on details but may include shopping and or Casino.

That's right folks, you'll get to spend some romantic(?) quality time with me in the Falls!Thumbs Up  Remember my motto " I can not be bought...long and short term leases available"

That should get more folks to sign up for the Chevy tour!

Larry, they use to have an L-88 sitting on display in the reception area years ago. I already put dibs on that!

I have toured the plant twice and loved it both times.
If you don't fill up, I'll go again.
If you do fill up, Dave and I will ride the Maid of the Mist.
Or maybe I'll try my theory of how to win at Roulette.
Last time I tried I lost $20 in 2 minutes.Cry

Ok Dave. I will put you on the list for now. I appreciate you bowing out if needed.
I'd watch out for Dave on a boat ride. He's been in a dry spell lately and might get a bit frisky with you. Roulette might be a safer bet. Shocked LOL
