This could be the "Scion Nationals" of the Southeastern region

Its about the Scion Brand, the love of cars, and not the egos

Thanks

Mods, please sticky this, it is going to happen

 

Has a venue been decided yet, that could be a determining factor to some people. Details such as show cost, if there will be an indoor section, food / drink / alcoholic beverages on premises, will show vehicles need to be left overnight, is outlet 110 VAC available?, things of that nature would be very helpful.

 

i'll definitely be there

 

All of this is in the works and will be posrted up shortly

HOTEL MOTEL INFO FOR THE SHOWS!!!!!!!

These places I found are right about half way between the two day events about 15-20 minutes drive between the 2

All of the following rates were taken off of www.hotels.com and can be booked and canceled within 24 hours if something comes up, you can book online at hotels.com, the individual websites or call the hotel/motels

Rates range between 41.00 and 89.00 per night between the places

So here we go
This 1st place is not the cheapest, but it is where Bridezila and I stayed for the Backstage/Mall of GA Family affair event last spring. It was very cool, great rooms very convinient to restaurants, the interstate etc. and offers a complimentary HOT breakfast buffet (eggs, bacon sausage, grits, hash browns etc etc etc) and it was pretty decent for a FREE breakfast, met my expectations as a chef!
Pretty good bonus, the other places just offer the samo samo continental breakfast
