8th. Annual
 

The 8th. Annual Gibb Show will be Aug. 5th. this year. we will have 42 classes. We are working on a couple of new things for the show. There will not be a cruise in Macomb Fri. night. I encourage everyone to go to Monmouth Fri. night, LaHarpe Sat. and Macomb Sat night. Flyers will be mailed out within the week, IF you don't get one you can let me know or go to our web page where one will be available for downloading. Hope everyone has a great year and we will plan on seeing you in Aug if not before, May God Bless https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif Ken

Re: 8th. Annual
 

I got my flyer today, and am making plans to attend. Does anyone have the hotel info for Monmouth. We would like to stay at the one on the West side of town (was Heartland Inn) but I think they changed their name.

Re: 8th. Annual
 

Gary,
Maybe you're referring to the Hawthorne? I think it's known under two names: Hawthorne Inn & Suites AND Monmouth Inn. Same place; same address..... 1200 West Broadway, just a few blocks West of the Square where the Monmouth Cruise is headquartered. The other hot place is the Super 8 at the North end of town.

I visited Mayor Brown a couple of weeks back and as we talked he received a phone call from the guys in Monmouth. For everyone's information, they have extended a warm invitation to all the Supercar Guys again. They have a spot reserved for these cars as they had in the past. If you've not attended the Monmouth Cruise you're missing one whale of a good time.
Steve Albert put together a great Friday night gathering in Macomb last year but it's a ton of work for one man and Steve has elected to pass this year. Thanks go to Steve for his hard work but we understand how much time it takes to pull this off. Still, we're looking forward to seeing Steve and Cathy again this year, wherever, but for this year, it's 'Back to Monmouth'!

Please make plans to attend the entire weekend in the Monmouth, LaHarpe and Macomb area the first weekend of August. Like they say on the USA network, "Characters Welcome!" https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif (Obviously, this includes Boje, Howie, Annie and Mr. Barnhart........... so, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!)

Cap't. Carl, see ya there. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Well, I knew it started with an "H", but that would be the place. We had a great time in '04, but missed last year with my car being broke. We're making plans for this year already.

Thanks for the info.

Re: 8th. Annual
 

Great news on Monmouth. Baring any hail storms https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif we'll be there.

I thought we had that problem "covered" now? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Something else I failed to mention earlier: Kenny Brown has been working with the local officials as well. Lots of changes for the better at the LaHarpe Show too. Easier access for trailers, increased trailer parking, more area for the show cars, additional 'Check in' stations, more classes, ................. these guys really know how to cater to the show participants. A BIG https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif to Kenny, Jerry, Bob L. and the whole crew. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ouguysrock.gif

If anyone wants more info, please check out www.fredgibb.com Everything you need to know, including contacts for Kenny and Bob is right there.

The best five weeks of the year happen in the month of August; beginning with the Gibb Show weekend, and wrapping up with the Supercar Reunion! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: 8th. Annual
 

I made my reservation at the Hawthorn on 3-2-06. Tell them that you are going to the Gibbs car show and they will give you a special rate. It is also a nice place to stay.

Re: 8th. Annual
 

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif Great news Jim. Hope to see you there!
If you're spending two nights you might consider the second night's stay in Macomb. You'll be closer to LaHarpe, and for your trip back home on Sunday.

The Amerihost and Day's Inn are the most popular choices for the Show folks.

Re: 8th. Annual
 

I made our reservations @ the Hawthorne Inn today. It sounds like they might be getting filled up, so I would suggest not waiting any longer.

Re: 8th. Annual
 

We're in the Hawthorne for Friday night, then moving to the Days Inn at Macomb for Saturday night. If anyone is interested in reservations at Macomb for either night, here's a few contacts:

Days Inn, Macomb 309-883-5511
Amerihost, Macomb 309-837-2220
Super 8, Macomb 309-836-8888

All three are located near at the North edge of Macomb, and within 1/2 hour of LaHarpe.

Re: 8th. Annual
 

For what it's worth, I talked with the Monmouth Hawthorne Inn today and they're booked up for Friday night, August 4th.

There are still rooms available at the Super 8, but I wouldn't wait much longer if you plan to attend!

Also, I think I transposed numbers for the Days Inn in Macomb.

The correct phone number is 309-833-5511

Sorry for the mistake. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif

Re: 8th. Annual
 

I talked to Howie yesterday, and we decided that we'd just stay with you.Bud's fine, we're both fond of cheetos and garlic dip, and kinda try to hold down the snorin while we're tryin to play some cards. ok? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif

Annie, I think "sorted mix" is pretty kind for this crew.
And yes, bugundy is a real color. It's the color you get when you can't decide if it's red, or purple. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Going to do my best to be there. May not make the Friday crusie -in as Diana has a church function that evening, but plans are to make the Gibb show. Not sure with what though. Rob told me to drive the Stinger, but with the current heat wave, not for sure if I am up to 8 hours of no air conditioning. Yeah, I know, getting soft...

How about Fonzi, is he coming?
