I'll try to get this thread back on the original topic of hotel rooms... I do have a third good option now. I'll eMail everyone tonight that I have on my contact list with that info. I'm confident that I have our local Truckfest market price for hotel rooms nailed down as all three options are about the same rate.

I'm not kidding... family history, I'll explain to those that come to Truckfest.

Truckstock inspired Truckfest. I'm keeping it simple... meeting good people and looking at Ford trucks...
Trapeze bar? Spongbob? Scooby-do? Oh, think of the possibilities-real and photoshopped.

My wife was a Olympic hopeful in her youth! I think I could talk her into doing something on that trapeze bar maybe even get her to wear that sponge bob outfit that was posted earlier in the post ! She most definitely will not fill it out as will as that girl in the photo

I just eMailed my final hotel list out to all of those who have contacted me @ rojakk64@comcast.net. I'm happy with the quality of the hotels and all are close to Truckfest headquarters and shopping/eating.

Now onto more items on my to do list:

List of directions from highways and hotels to Truckfest
Agenda
Where do we eat?

I'm planning on lots of meeting & talking, lots of looking at old Ford iron (and whatever else shows up), a cruise and some good eats...

So far so good... pray for good Spring weather! It is very wet here right now...

One more thing, gas has dropped over 20¢ around here in the last two weeks, at this rate the oil companies will be paying us to drive to Truckfest.

Alas, I doubt it. Someone will sneeze in the middle east and the price will jump 50¢ a gallon or more. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
