Maggie Valley 2008 Run

[Gina]

May 1-2-3 2008.


(Take Note, the meet & greet has been changed to Thursday this year)

Thursday Evening 5:00 PM Meet & Greet at Laurel Park Inn. The pavillion area will be open until 10 PM and then will close so that those fanatics that choose to go to bed by then can have quiet time. (This has been a slight problem in the past!!!)

We are located right down the street from Maggie Valley Inn & Conference Center. As posted on the forum, the pizza has been cancelled due to the large volume of people so dinner is on your own. We will still be serving margaritas and soda with light snacks. This starts at 5 PM. Parking is very limited. I have some parking on the side of my motel and we can use the “Prudental Insurance” beside my place after 6. DO NOT USE THE NUMBERED SPOTS. THESE ARE RESERVED FOR MY PAYING GUESTS For those in good health I am requesting that you walk over to allow parking for those that aren’t.

TAKE NOTE, THE PIZZA PART OF THE MEET & GREET HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO LARGE VOLUME OF PARTICIPANTS. ALSO THE TIME HAS BEEN CHANGED TO 5:00 TO ALLOW TIME FOR EVERYONE TO GO OUT FOR DINNER ON THEIR OWN. I DO NOT HAVE ROOM FOR 200+ PEOPLE TO EAT

We will be serving margaritas and sodas. Ice will be available if you prefer to BYOB. Also MDCSSR will be be boiling peanuts in his "goober boiler". Anyone else is welcome to bring any food item that they choose. I will have assorted chips out also.

DONT FORGET TO BRING WALKIE TALKIES (channel 7), WARM CLOTHES (it gets cool in the mountains at night and at higher elevations in the day), CHAIRS FOR THE TRUCK SHOW

Friday: I am offering 3 different cruises for this day because with 110 SSR's its to hard to keep them all together. Also past attendees will enjoy a new place to visit.
1. The Dragon Tail led by (I need a volunteer) Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap and Cherohala Skyway, Graham Co, NC
2. A cruise to Mt. Pisgah Inn for lunch. Good food and a great view on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Pisgah Inn, North Carolina - The Peak of the Parkway
3. A cruise over to the Lake Lure/Chimney Rock area.
The Chimney Rock Guide - A visitor's guide to the communities of Chimney Rock, Lake Lure, Bat Cave and Gerton.
Chimney Rock Park | North Carolina hiking trails with incredible mountain views



Friday Evening Cruise-In The GM Truck show is having a cruise-in at the festival grounds Friday evening at 6:00 PM. Jeff Cody (the promoter) OK'd the SSR fanatics to participate. This would be cool cruising along with the older GM trucks. There will be a group cruise through Maggie Valley with food available for purchase afterward. For those that plan to participate, l encourage you to be there 5:45.


Saturday- A cruise to the GM truck show. The price for admission for SSR fanatics is $5 per SSR. You must be there by 10:00 if you are entering in the "SSR" competiton categories listed below.

Smokey Mtn. Railroad

If the weather is good and their is enough interest I will organize a ride over into the Smoky Mtns. National Park. Its on the other side of Cherokee. It would take about 30-40 minutes to get there and then we can ride up the mountain a bit.

6:00 PM Dinner at Legends Sports Bar & Grill (same place as last year)




The overflow hotel will be the same one as last year. This is the closest one to me that can accomodate the overflow. They also have the only banquet room in Maggie Valley. They are the only hotel in Maggie Valley that has a restaruant and lounge also.

Maggie Valley Inn & Conference Center - a Maggie Valley hotel The rate is $79.00 Identify yourself as a SSR Fanatic. The toll free # is 866-926-0201

The 2nd overflow hotel (located across the street from me)

The Valley Inn of Maggie Valley NC


Please PM me if you are attending the 2008 Maggie Valley Rally. Include the following info in your PM:

1. If you will be attending the meet and greet at Laurel Park Inn on Thursday evening.
2. If you are attending the banquet on Saturday.
3. Your screen name and real name.
4. The name of your companion/spouse/friend if you are bringing one.
5. The color of your SSR
6. The state you are from.

Please let me know when you have made reservations.

Unfortunatley my small hotel cannot begin to accomodate everyone. I really dont like having a business involved with the rally but I dont have much choice. Therefore I am forced to make business decisions. I handle this group just like I do all groups, the ones that stayed the first two years get first choice. Also I will have to do a 7 day cancellation policy this year. I have to do that due to the fact if I get cancelled on, the others will have to be able to get out of their reservations to fill mine. Also I will have a two night minimum.

PM me if you are a returning guest to Laurel Park Inn and you want to stay here in 2008.
