Hot Weekend in the Heartland Rises Again!
Posted: February 29 2008 01:11 PM
Hot Time in the Heartland as many of you know has changed to a ala carte cruise weekend. We are finishing the final papers with the Hilton in Springfield and should have a number to use for the room discount. The current pricing is $89.00 for single or double occupancy with a 10% tax. This is a great savings from their regular $120.00+ rate. This is a full service hotel with a newly added Bennigans restaurant on the top floor (30 story building) Each room will include one parking spot in their attached ramp which has 24 hour security with camera's on every floor. We are working on a possible room rental for Friday night that would allow us a place to gather if the weather is too muggy, or wet. Now...we will also get the top floor of the ramp on Saturday night for our fireworks viewing. Just us, and our cars watching the stars and the fireworks. I will say the viewing is a bit better from the top floor restaurant but we can play this by ear since by staying at the Hilton there is no charge for the party on the roof.
Saturday those who want to join us will be cruisin 28 miles to Lincoln, IL for a small town cruise in and festival. Flea markets, plenty of cars parked around the square showing off for the crowd. We will be there from 11-3. At 3:00 we can head back toward Springfield and stop off in Sherman (a little suburb located on Route 66) for a free cruise in (4-7) at Ray's 66 Cafe. This has been arranged for us by the Route 97 Cruisaders Car Club and will include door prizes and a chance to grab a bite for dinner if you wish. Then we can head back to town (still working on plans for later that evening) All and all it is shaping up nicely and I hope you will all join me in Springfield!!! |
