Topic: [Cuyahoga Falls, OH] Ohio gathering - 8/26/2006
in Forum: Mid West Region Events

Wow! 15 C3's in one fell swoop? Now that would be an accomplishment worthy of note! Great job.
Ken:
Anything on a hotel list or reference point for driving directions?
Not pushing, just want to confirm plans as soon as possible.
Thanks
Here is the address of the hotel Ken is talking about:
Sheraton Suites Akron
(330) 929-3000
1989 Front St, Cuyahoga Falls, OH
I used to live in that area and know it very well. This area that Ken is talking about was revamped back in the late 70's early 80's and is very nice. If this becomes a yearly event, maybe next year I bring my car. I don't want to take it on such a long trip right now since I don't know that car as well I should.
Ken, can I suggest going through Sand Run Park. There are tons of places there where you can stop and take some really nice pictures of your cars with nature as your background.
Sorry I haven't been on in the last couple of weeks. I have been as busy as a one armed paper hanger with the hives.
I am starting to plan the cruise route. It will include a stop at Summit Racing, and go past Hale Farm and Village. Hale is a working farm from the 1800s. Quite an attraction. We may go past the Goodyear Air dock, the largest freestanding structure in the world until just recently.
I will post a list of Hotels/Motels in the area this weekend. I will have time to get the list together by then.
I will also post directions from several different areas to here.
Time to get my plans laid out. More coming soon.

Hi Ken,
I'd really like to come to your get together but already have "Corvettes at Mackinaw" booked. I think it's a great idea for a regional outing. Good luck and all of you that can attend I hope you have a great time.

I will have hotel and motel information coming soon. Locations and phone numbers.

The Pride N Joy went into the shop last night for some needed maintenance items. Am hoping that I can get the AC and cruise done before coming down as well.
Yes, need that hotel info soon!!!!! We're getting tight on time, and I'd like to confirm early, but also don't want to drive 20 miles to or from the park either.
Am looking forward to spending the day with other C3er's for the first time. Any one thinking of going to Cuyahoga Falls from the Michigan area, I wouldn't mind meeting up and traveling the way together. I'll be driving down sometime on Friday, and back on Sunday morning. It should be interesting to see how many tankfuls it's going to take to get there and back.
See you all there!

According to Hotels.com, Sheraton Suites has no vacancy for the entire weekend of the gathering. Beautiful hotel, great location, but NO vacancy. Sorry!
Think I'll be trying the Country Inn. Hope it has a pool!
See you there!
