ACCOMMODATIONS

Hotels in the direct area include the Red Roof Inn and the Mainstays. These are easily walkable (you can see the show from these hotels!). The C’Mon Inn, the Staybridge, and the Best Western/Kelly are also within 5 minutes of our show. (If you have a trailer, there is street parking or you can ask at your hotel of choice where you can park it.) On the day of the show, we will have trailer parking available nearby. See ‘parking info’ below.

There are also local campgrounds in the area for those who would like to go that route!

PARKING INFO

If you want to park your trailer or tow vehicle at your hotel, ask them about it. If you are coming on the day-of and wish to park near the show, you can park behind the big blue building that says “Perficient” on it. (This is directly northeast of the visitors’ center, which has a huge lot behind it that they are graciously allowing us to use for trailers!)

Those who are handicapped and need assistance/accommodation, please reach out to us, and we’ll help you get the access you need.

Vendors, reach out to us and we will tell you where to go, park, and set up. If you need to drive a truck or van in to the show to set up, please be on the show grounds by 8:30 or a bit earlier. We will start allowing show-cars in by 9.

RULES

  • No scooters, skateboards, skates, bikes, rollerskates, electric scooters/boards or other recreational wheels allowed in the show area for kids or adults. Leave it at home.
  • Do not ever touch or climb into any car without permission from its owner. Not yours, hands (and elbows and butts and anything else) off!
  • If you have a stroller or carry a large tote bag, handbag, backpack, keys/phone on a lanyard, etc., keep it close so it won’t drag along a car as you look.
  • Keep track of children. We love and welcome kids but we do not love sticky fingers or scratches and dents on our VWs.
  • Pets must be leashed and well-behaved.
  • Please find a volunteer and donate! Our club uses donations like yours to run events like this!
  • Clean up after yourself. There is garbage and recycling available around the venue and be courteous while inside the Visitors’ Center
