2015 Nationals Lodging

Ok, having some issues trying to get someone to dogsit...

We have a teenie little Yorkie (7 whole lbs) and trying to figure out what to do with her when we come down. Does anyone know if any of the locations are pet friendly? We are currently planning to stay Friday night only since my GF's mother lives 3 hours away. Could possibly end up staying Saturday night too depending on what happens between now and then. But for sure Friday night.

We are unsure now what days I am going to stay at a hotel.. I plan to be there both Friday and Saturday but my GF and her mom had a not so nice discussion on the phone so we are still trying to figure out what days we will be in Georgia and what days we will be in Tennessee assuming we still go to Georgia.

So I will definitely need a hotel room Friday night but maybe Thursday and maybe Saturday as well...

My GF emailed the host hotel to see if they are "pet friendly" or not.

So in the next week or two we will be getting more serious about looking for somewhere that will not complain if we have our 7lb Yorkie with us...

They've been very supportive of us! They seem excited to have us, and it seems like a GREAT place to stay!
 
Still trying to find a place that is pet friendly...

The hosting hotel said "no way" about being pet friendly.

Hopefully here is a picture of our 7lb Yorkie saying "please don't leave me... "

Call your vet some of them board pets. Who could turn that face away.
 
Have since found someone to board our "daughter" with and have booked at the Tennessee Mountain Lodge for 5 nights.. Coming down on Wed night to make it to town Thur morning and leaving the Following Tuesday Morning.

Hope this hotel is decent.. Just need a place to place our heads...

Ken, first off  :welcome: to the club!!!

We don't have any "vendors" that will be set up this year. However, we'd love to still have you come show off your new ride!!! Theres always room for an escalade or two  (y) (y)

This get together will be centered more around socializing, meeting new people, catching up with old friends, showing off our rides, raising money for charity, and most of all Having Fun!!!
 
I think the last Nationals where there was a raffle was back in 08

Really. Well that's no excuse. Everyone loves a raffle to benefit a charity.

There's gonna be one this year.  (y) (y)
 
Did we forget about last year? It seems that every Nationals that I have attended there has been a raffle for charity. Last year Didit headed it up and we raised over $1400 + gathered 514 pounds of food for The Salvation Army Food Pantry. Here is the thank you letter that Didit posted after the Nationals last year:

The raffle last year in Madison was great! There was a ton of stuff that was given away, and I remember walking out with some pretty awesome stuff myself!  (y)
 
Thinking of setting up a tent on Saturday night....does anyone have any information as to where a good place nearby is to do this?
Would like to know how much and how to make reservations.

Anyone else doing the same thing?

I meant a raflle to win stuff
 
I'm pretty certain I'll be able to come now! We're still waiting to hear if the boyfriend will be able to come with though.

But I'm only going to be able to stay 1 night, 2 days. I'm thinking I'll get there Friday afternoon sometime, and stay til Saturday afternoon. Have a wedding reception to go to that night..

I'm crossing my fingers that I'll have a new speaker box by then, so of course I'll be showing off. But I have a small request for one of you sweet folks! One of my saddle bags doesn't latch properly and someone (I forgot who, or on what thread) told me it was just a little pin & it could be fixed...if I come to Nationals. Well, I'm coming so who's fixing?!
:laugh:
