Northwest Ohio Get Together
« on: August 24, 2017, 06:10:08 PM »
As you have probably seen in Kevin's (Rollaround) post on the Northwest Ohio Get Together, the venue will be changing this year.  Geography is being amended so that the Northwest Ohio meet can be held in Southwest Michigan.  I hope that's not confusing to anyone and, if it is, just look at it as payback for Ohio taking Toledo from Michigan.   :icon_biggrin:

The meet will be held at our home in Ceresco, MI (near Battle Creek) on Saturday, September 23.  We can also plan to continue our time together by attending the Gilmore Car Museum on Sunday, September 24.  The Gilmore will be into the second day of the Cadillac-LaSalle Club Museum's annual Fall Festival on that day.  It will be an opportunity to not only enjoy the Gilmore Museum collection, but also view what is expected to be a large number of classic Cadillac's and Lasalles that will be in attendance.

More info will be coming soon.  In the meantime, it will be helpful if those planning to attend will respond in this thread so that we can plan to adequately provide for all in attendance.

It might not be Ohio, but 65 GS's will still be the theme, and we will continue the outstanding camaraderie that this group so enjoys.

Hoping to see many of you then!

 :cheers2:

Thanks Glenn.  I'll look forward to it.  Let's make it next week some time.  I'm gone for the weekend.

We've discovered that many of the hotels in Battle Creek have jacked up their rates because Notre Dame is playing football at Michigan State on the night of September 23 and Battle Creek is apparently a desirable in between location to overnight.  I did a quick search and found that the Best Western seems to have a reasonable rate.  Dan has booked it at $105/night including taxes.  Any interested in overnighting might want to check it out.  Let the group know if you come up with other reasonable alternatives.  The Hampton and Holiday Inn are priced at about $160 for that night.....

Unfortunately we won't be able to attend and will have to rely on your pictures and write-ups for coverage of the event. Have fun!

Our reservations are made at the Best Western.
Hey Chuck, I any chance you Michiganders would be interested in taking Toledo back?

Remember to make your calender for the Northwest Ohio get together at Chuck's place on September 23th. A day filled with discussions about our beloved cars. What better way to spend a fall Saturday. Also planning a trip to the Gilmore museum on Sunday while a  Club show is going on.  Don't miss the fun.

Now that Labor Day is behind us and the rest of September ahead, this event will be sneaking up on us soon.  We're looking forward to it and hope that many of our 65 GS friends will join us. 

To recap the plans for the weekend -

Friday, September 22: Those coming from long distance with a planned overnight can meet up for drinks and dinner at a local eatery/drinkery.
Saturday, September 23: Get together at the Miller residence to look over a few cars, talk a lot of cars and just enjoy the company of fellow enthusiasts.  We'll have a cookout in the afternoon as well for some social time and nourishment.
Sunday, September 24: Trip (cruise?) to The Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners.  This is the largest car museum in the country and the vehicles on display are all true eye candy, with some interesting history included.  This will be the second day of the annual Cadillac/LaSalle meet, so we will also have the opportunity to view a larger collection of these vehicles that will be there for the meet.

Want to bring your classic Buick?  Absolutely, we always love to get them together for a drool-fest.  And there will be space to park some trailers on site if anyone wants to trailer a car.  But the main point is to be together as a group of friends with a shared passion.  So don't let the lack of a classic car or inclement weather keep you away.  And for those of you in the eastern part of Ohio, Michigan or Illinois, northern Indiana, (and yes, even Wisconsin   :thumbsup:) please consider joining us.  Could be a fun road trip to add to the event.  I'll post more information on location, etc. as we get closer to the 23rd.

To aid with preparation, it would be helpful to get a projected headcount of those that plan to attend.  Please post here if you plan to attend and include the number in your party. 

We're looking forward to a fun event with lots of old and new friends!

Chuck has hit it on the head. A super weekend planned in Southern Michigan. For you Ohio guys, don't let the location scare you. Weather should be great and the trip to the Gilmore on Sunday is something you do not want to miss and Saturday at Chuck's place will be a good time.  Get your name on the list so we know how to plan.
