[QUOTE="Bluvette75, post: 127065, member: 3902"] Hello everyone: Many of you have been waiting for an update as I was getting me feet back on the ground in Cold Lake after being on the other side of the world. We are still working on the planning and will have more to pass on in the next week. SN-III along with one of our Cruiser's members has organized getting hotel rooms at the Marriott Hotel (Casino Dene) for a nightly rate of $99.00. I was out there today (10 March) and met with the receptionist who was aware of the Corvettes coming and had brought up Spence's name as the one who requested/negotiated this. Hotel has a pool, hot tub, fitness room, pool tables, licenced eating area next to the front reception, computers with printer at front entrance, meeting rooms, and some unique First Nations art throughout the hotel including works of art from local artist and Order of Canada recipient Alex Janvier ([URL='http://www.alexjanvier.com/'][U]www.alexjanvier.com[/U][/URL]). I got a look at one of the King rooms and posted some photos here for you. The sofa pictured is also a hide-a-bed. I also took photos of the parking lot to get a good idea of where the Corvette's would best be parked (thinking the west side parking lot to start with). The Marriott is the newest hotel built in the Cold Lake area, having been built in the last couple years. Website is [URL='http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/ybycy-courtyard-cold-lake/'][U]Courtyard Cold Lake[/U][/URL] ([URL="http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/ybycy-courtyard-cold-lake/"]Courtyard Cold Lake[/URL]) Spence is organizing the Cold Lake Corvette Convoy (Cavalcade or Caravan are other synonyms for Convoy that we can use for an official name for this) from Edmonton leaving early Friday morning in order to get everyone here by early afternoon. This Corvette Convoy / Cavalcade will also be a charity run.
