The 2008 Nationals will be held in Pigeon Forge TN on July 19 thru 26th.
The hotel in which we will be staying at will be the Grand Resort Hotel.
After sitting down and going through various proposals for different dates and locations, trAVelingman and I felt that the Grand Resort offered the Club the best overall destination and package. They were hands down the best priced hotel, as they are at least $50 cheaper per night than any other comparable hotel within 75 miles.
ONCE Reservations etc can be made we will let you know, along with costs etc.
Watch for a hotel thread to be started in the coming days.. Where we will outline the types of rooms available and their respective costs as well..

Daily events and activities will be determined in the coming weeks/months.

Everyone thank you for your excitement and equally so your patience..

Anyone thinking on attending next year? I have missed all of them due to work but hopefully i make the next

I'm thinking about it. We could celebrate several dates while there:

Our anniversary
My Air Force retirement
and, just because.

Sounds like it would be a good time. Plus it's closer than last year's. Although last year's looked awesome.

OK,

I'm either not smart enough or too lazy to know when or where the Nationals are going to be.

Can someone help a brother out?

Cmon BD, as the contract says, you can always take a sick WEEK..LOL, I've put in for a week in July. Hopefully it will be that week, if not I should be able to reschedule it. I'll thinking real hard that we're gonna go.

KY_BOB · « **Reply #4 on:** November 16, 2007, 12:22:54 PM »

I'm not thinking about it. I'm going to be there.

Sunburst05 · « **Reply #5 on:** November 16, 2007, 12:42:49 PM »

I'm gonna be there, Anyone going single in here and wanna split a room?

Main One · « **Reply #6 on:** November 16, 2007, 04:02:02 PM »

I'm trying to figure out when it's going to be.

Well here's a stupid question for you.....which 'third' week? 13-19 or the 20-26? I'm still waiting to find out so I can request the right time. After I put it in, I won't be able to change it.

The Great Smoky Mountains in Tenn. Should be an awesome trip.

Anyone want to camp? Probably a little cheaper than hotels.

oHIobellboy · « **Reply #14 on:** November 25, 2007, 10:11:03 PM »

should be announced soon

Saweet!

I updated the 1st post.

MoAv · « **Reply #17 on:** November 28, 2007, 02:00:13 AM »

I've been doing some reading about Pigeon Forge-looks like a fun place. It would be soooo great if we had a bunch of MAC Av's all carAVan down together...

oHIobellboy · « **Reply #18 on:** November 28, 2007, 08:29:02 PM »

We're still up in the air. My oldest stepson will Graduate in May. He has a job already but we're not sure if he's gonna take off work or not. If he take off work then we're not gonna make it. 6 people in an AVY for 8 hours doesn't sound like fun. I wouldn't want to bring the Odyssey to a national meet with the avy's. just would't feel right.

bluedevil · « **Reply #19 on:** December 30, 2007, 09:23:32 AM »

attendance list updated. wow this is going to be huge!

boilers94 · « **Reply #20 on:** December 30, 2007, 09:24:46 AM »

Would love to go considering this is fairly close to my home location, but the determining factor is going to be my oldest son's baseball season which should be close to winding down at this time.

MoAv · « **Reply #21 on:** December 30, 2007, 09:29:44 AM »

At this point it doesn't look good for me to go. Someone with more seniority has put in for those two weeks. I'm filing a grievance on my taking my leave based on I'm no longer a clerk, so shouldn't have to follow their schedule, but that may take a while to resolve.

So, once again I'm in limbo. Probably be a last minute decision like for STI. Gotta love my job sometimes

Looking forward to seeing everyone in TN!

LOL i know. I placed my vacation week awhile ago and im planning to attend. The other side of the coin is,im trying to convince my wife to go as she doesnt have enuff time at her new work place to take off for a week. Chances are ill be there for 3 days with or without her.

I am finally getting around to taking pictures of a shirt that the members that attended the 2008 National Chevy Avalanche Meet got for me. It is a Messiah shirt with all of my "followers" signatures on the back of the shirt. I LOVE it.....I got the nickname from one of the Global Moderators on TOS......
