Topic: Great Lakes Regional Firebird Gathering-Dundee, Michigan JUNE 22-24

[784mula]

Hello Everyone,

 The show is June 22-24, 2007 at Cabela's in Dundee Michigan.  The Holiday Inn Express is the Host Hotel for the Great Lakes Regional Firebird Gathering! When calling for reservations say your   coming for the Firebird Show. We have blocked 20 rooms in the Main lodge at $119 per night. The water park will be open but is not  part of your hotel stay. More info to follow.

 Friday night event: We are looking into a 3 hr boat cruise (which would include pizza, salad, and soft drinks). The limit would be 56 people and include transportation from Cabela's to the boat and back. Looks like the cost would be about $25/person. More info to follow.

Here is the link to the flyer.

Give 'em until the snow melts.  Right now they have to use their imaginations to see the end of their driveways...

I'm booked. Be in Thursday night at the Holiday Inn. Staying 'til Monday morning. Good practice show for the Nats. See yall there.

I'm there, but not staying at the Holiday Inn.

From what I've been reading on the rules, Michigan looks to be a much more detail judged show then Dayton.
Should be fun. See you there....

Its a very nice show. My third year. If you get tired of walking around the cars, you can always go into the air conditioned Cabela's & shop to you drop. Car show attendees get a discount off the inside resturant also. Have you been there before? I will be at the Holiday Inn Friday thru Sunday AM. Did you sign up for the 3 hour dinner & boat cruise Friday night? We did. Good crowd & good people.

This year will be a first for Michigan for me. Heard nothing but great things about the show and Saturday night cruise in. I'm bringing my 14 yr old son for the Waterpark. Maybe a few others too. It's a 8 hour drive for us. Be in Thursday afternoon at Holiday Inn Express. Didn't do the boat cruise. Last 3 hour tour wound up being Gilligans Island

Right now I have reservations at the Amerihost Inn.  Joe, where is that in relation to the show, if you know?  The description sounded like it was really close.  I have been thinking about dropping the extra green for Holiday Inn instead if they still have room.

That hotel is close, just the other side of the main road. The Holiday Inn is across the parking lot from the show. Last year I asked them to reserve some room for our cars & they blocked off a section just for the Firebirds. This year they have a new water park they added to the hotel, so that could be good & bad. Are you going on the dinner cruise? After hours a bunch of us gathered by the trailors last year for a few pops. I live just 45 minutes from there but I stay on site rather than collecting bugs everyday back & forth. Looking forward to seeing the Formula there!!!!

Got my spots for the cruise reserved.  We are taking both Birds up there to see how they do.  I knew about the water park but didn't think about the bad side of it.  I might just keep the reservations as is for this year and check it out.  Looking forward to the weekend!!!

Is Evan going to this one?

GOOD POINT, THE NICE THING HAMMER MENTIONED IS YOU CLEAN UP YOUR CAR & TAKE IT TO THE JUDGES WHEN YOU ARE READY, FIRST HOUR, 6 HOURS LATER, OR EVEN THE NEXT DAY, BUT IT IS GOOD TO GET HER JUDGED EARLY SO YOU DONT HAVE WEATHER ISSUES & THE PRESSURE IS OFF FOR YOU TO ENJOY THE REST OF THE SHOW. THE SHOW STAFF TREATS YOU LIKE FAMILY.

IN FACT THE MAJORITY OF FIREBIRD ENTHUSISTS APPEAR TO TREAT YOU LIKE FAMILY WHEN YOU COME TO THINK OF IT. THE OHIO FIREBIRDS & FRIENDS ARE A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THAT.

[TAvsGN]

I second that!!

INSTEAD OF A WINNERS CIRCLE THEY HAVE WHAT THEY CALL A BIRDS NEST PARKING AREA.  THATS WHERE YOU WILL BE NEXT YEAR WITH THAT NICE WHITE 78 FORMULA
