old-tank Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) We are scheduled to be at the hotel in Denver thursday after spending 2 days in Dillon CO. Might stay in Dillon if it turns hot in Denver.

Barney Eaton Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 After some bad luck and now good luck, yesterday I got the word that I would be able to go to Denver. Nancy has not attended the last 2 national meets because she lacks the stamina to get around, up & down, and she is sloooooow. I was able to make part of Allentown then I drove to Brookfield last year but a schedule conflict was keeping me from going to Denver. That problem has gone away and I will probably leave central Texas Monday morning and make the 900 miles in two days. I contacted Roy Faries so he could forward to the proper people that I would be there to help judge. Believe this is my 18 or 19th straight National. Looking forward to seeing old friends and some different Buicks 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it is free to all to come see. Look in Lone Tree Colorado, that is where the show is. I believe there is a Hilton close by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am staying at the Hampton not far away... I am not bringing a car going or going on bus tours, so I see no need to register. I will attend as Joe Public. However, since I am a BCA member, I plan to attend the BCA general membership and BCA board meetings. ?

You do not need a ticket to be on the show field. You would need to be registered to use the hospitality room and other meet activities. The Hampton Inn is close to the Marriot , which is the host hotel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney Eaton Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) With my last minute change in plans I was scrambling to find a hotel.....my daughter did some searching and got me in the Candlewood (behind the host hotel but on the other side of I-25) The rated varied on different nights but averaged $110 for 4 nights. doesn't look like they have breakfast, so I will need to look around for a breakfast place. Last year at Brookfield, I went to a pancake place for breakfast the first morning and it was over $12.....I went to McD's the remaining mornings. I presently plan on going to the Forney Museum of Transportation on Wed morning. I will have room for 3 more people if anyone is interested. Google says it is a 25 minute drive but I failed to see what time they open. If interested, contact me by PM or whatever.

Suggest you follow these directions! If you currently have reservations in the HOST HOTEL and you are not planning to attend the meet therefore cancelling your reservations, please contact me prior to cancelling. The HOST HOTEL is sold out early in the week and we have folks who would like to stay in the Marriott. We are able to move reservations between attendees but this must be done prior to a reservation being cancelled.

lancemb Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Sorry to report I'm not going either now. It's always busy in the summer, and the days are scarce. Very disappointed, but making these shows that are not within driving distance is difficult at this time! I hope you all have a great time.
