Possible conflict with 2016 dates?

I was just informed that there is a huge Corvette show in Redmond OR on the same weekend as the 2016 C3VR Gathering (July 14-16) and was told that a large group from the NW usually go to the this. They are wondering if there is any way to move this to the next weekend in July 22 & 23?

Sure, if it's one thing I can't stand it's being in a location with even more Corvette to ogle...

Moving the date is certainly possible, July 20th thru the 24th were kind of our back up dates anyway. I do like Dave's idea for making a trip to Redmond part of our event. According to their website, the event is being put on by the High Desert Corvette club and the dates are Saturday the 16th and Sunday the 17th (hope I've got the right one). It's a 5 to 5 1/2 hour trip from Tacoma and would make for a very long day but it is doable. I think we need some more input. Option 1 - Change the date, Option 2 - make the Redmond show part of our event or Option 3 leave the date, perhaps those who want to go to Redmond could attend C3VR on Saturday and Redmond on Sunday ?? I'm not sure how many people we're talking about. Maybe there's even an option 4 out there, let's hear some feedback.

Our event runs Thursday-Saturday.  So technically anyone interested in going to the Redmond show could still join us for Thursday & Friday events.

Wow, I actually agree with Adam on something?

The High Desert Corvette Club's show was actually a part of the C3VR Gathering in Bend.  It was held in Sisters, OR that year and several of the C3VR group participated in it.

The 5 1/2 hour drive is one way so keep that in mind.

For anyone coming from the east.  The Black Hills Corvette Classic starts in Sioux Falls SD on the 12th and ends up in Spearfish later that week (14th-16th) making is possible to drop in and check it out on the way to WA with a stop at Yellowstone.  This was a huge show in the early 90's when I last attended....now "huger" applies.

Moving the date to the next weekend is out for me - family vacation that is already planned.  And I would not recommend trying to include the Redmond event as part of ours.  That drive is long from my town and I'm two hours closer than Tacoma.  My vote is to keep the date as is.  I guess an option 4 would be move the location closer to Redmond (Hood River, OR?) but not sure if we'd want to make that change after all the votes have been counted and such....

Adam, unless you hear or we see input from a large number of people that are going to skip the C3VR event for the Redmond show, my vote is to save the date. 5 1/2 hours was about two hours over my driving limit for a show and shine, I would have done it we the C3VR group but not on my own. I also believe there are probably more people that have already made plans since we set the original date. Let's save the date !!

My vote is to keep the date as is.
