2014 Northern Regional Chevelle Show - Ohio

[72convertible]

Just a quick start to this thread…. The Northern Ohio Chevelle Club is proud to announce the 2014 Northern Regional Chevelle Show. The show will be August 1st and 2nd, 2014 at the Strongsville Holiday Inn. Our theme this year will be Chevelle-o-ween. So get out there and buy up those Halloween decorations that are on sale right now. The WIXY 1260 Band will entertain us again on Friday night and we plan on having a Freaker’s Ball. We will also host a Trick or Trunk evening. Dress up yourself, your Chevelle, make haunted walks through your Trailers….. Who knows what everyone will dream up….. We will be limiting the show field to the first 200 Chevelles to ensure our attendees have the best experience.

[Ms Grumpy]

And Mark, where is the link to the registration paperwork.

[flash]

Registration is already in the mail and reservations made ,this one will be a hoot .

[BillsCamino]

Won't be making this one.

[flash]

We will miss seeing you and Ann there but your daughter comes first .

[shadowgray396]

I'm really going to make an effort to fly down for the show this year. Cost ot much to bring the Chevelle down, but would really like to come and meet everyone.

[flash]

Ray ,you will not be disappointed ,its always a good time .

Ray, it is SOOOO worth the trip. I would send in a registration form even if you are not bringing your car. That way you could get into the banquet, it is such a blast !! Especially because everyone dresses up. Like flash said, you won't be disappointed.

[Ms Grumpy]

I called yesterday and made my room reservations. Last year I didn't reserve my rooms until after the 1st of the year. But after reading that they are limiting registration to the first 200 cars I figured I better get mine in. And since I need 3 rooms at the hotel, between David, me and the kids, I knew I didn't want to wait.

When I booked my rooms, the man at the Holiday Inn said that he had booked at least 10 rooms in the past couple days. So if you are even Thinking about going, call and reserve a room, you can always cancell it. You definately want to stay at the Holiday Inn, cause when it gets dark, thats when all the good stuff happens. lol

I also texted my brother and asked him if he would be interested in going again next year with us, his response....Hell yes ! He made a comment that if he had to take off time from work, then he would use the excuse that it was a "Family Reunion". You know what, that is how I feel. I get to see some amazing people and their cars at least once a year. Hope to see everyone there.

[flash]

We are a very strange family ,will be even stranger this year ,cant wait.

[72convertible]

Hey Flash
Ferd tried to send you an e-mail this week but it did not go through. I just want to let you know that we got your registration.
Mark

[flash]

Thanks Mark ,dont know why it didnt come through .

[Ms Grumpy]

You have such freaky internet flash. lol

[flash]

It must be living in the sticks .

[shadowgray396]

Wonder if I fly back if they would let me attend the awards dinner and get a tee shirt, even though I'm bringing a car?

[flash]

Just enter your car without bringing it .

[BillsCamino]

Just enter your car without bringing it .

I've done that a couple times over the years...registered a Chevelle but simply flew into CLE and took the Holiday Inn hotel shuttle to the show field. ;)
This hotel serves as a crash pad for airline personnel so the shuttle runs 24 hrs and is free.

[flash]

Mark ,we got the e mail today .

[Ms Grumpy]

Very true, I have seen the shuttle many, many times. And if really think about it, the room rates are only $82. That is pretty cheap, if you plan on spending the night. I would reserve a room ASAP if possible.

[Ms Grumpy]

I got my confirmation e-mail a couple weeks ago.

I was just wondering if you have had a lot of cars already register and if there were a lot of rooms left at the hotel.

[72convertible]

We have about 21 Chevelles registered for the show and about 60 rooms booked at the Holiday Inn. In total we have 176 room nights booked. I think a lot of people are planning on coming in a day early this year. I plan on putting together a list of places people might want to visit in the area.

Places that come to mind quickly that are within a 20-40 minute drive from the hotel are Rock n Roll Hall of Fame & Summit Racing. We are also working on details for a race night at Dragway 42.

[flash]

We went to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame as a group the first year we went and that was cool as Rob Mirable did burnouts in front of the Hall and told everyone its OK Im a cop .We got photo opps right in front of the Hall as well .That was a good time ,it was also the first time I had ever been to Summit Racing even though we had on here in Ga .

[Ms Grumpy]

As long as Dragway 42 doesn't have the kind of road we had to take when we went to the track at Chevellabration. I just remember the roads that were pretty scary, they just dropped right off the edge.

Remember...this track is in Ohio, NOT TN.
Flat as...well, you fill in the rest. ;)

[Ms Grumpy]

I have been following the NOCC on Facebook. Looks like there is still room in the show for cars, but the hotel is filling up quickly. If you haven't booked your room, you should book them now !!! Don't wait or they will be gone.

We will be displaying one of our members 1964 Chevelle in the Hotel Lobby. I will get the rest of the 64's set up for a special display of some how ( not sure what we will do yet )



We also have over 30 1969 Chevelles signed up for the show. Dan Vasic is trying to get a nice display of 1969 post Chevelles.



Only 4 months to go and only 200 spots available - Let's get going before you get shut out!

[72convertible]

Oh - I almost forgot

Here is an exclusive Mr & Mrs Grumpy Interview

http://youtu.be/X4oKyPGJ8Eo

[flash]

I didnt realize we were among celebrities here .

[Ms Grumpy]

We were caught off guard when he asked us to do an interview. We were honored when we were asked. But I would do anything for the awesome members of the NOCC.

[Ken Hayes]

They got some real nice cars down there. Kool video.......nice sticker too....:-)

[Ms Grumpy]

I couldn't agree more Ken.

[flash]

Not getting many updates anymore from Mark since they are doing mostly Facebook updates and not on the forums anymore ,I sure miss it .

[Ms Grumpy]

I will ask for an update.

[72convertible]

Sorry for not keeping you guys up to date. We have about 110 chevelles registered for the show. That's way ahead of other years at this point and time. We have already met our quota for the holiday inn, it's basically sold out. You might be able to get a room if you are a holiday inn rewards member. We sold 127 rooms and 355 rooms nights. We will be posting phone numbers for the red roof inn (right next door) and other area hotels soon.

Planning is going well and the club is strong. I highly suggest you send in your registration ASAP, I sincerely doubt we will be taking day of show registrations.

Out newest addition to the show will be trunk or treat to go with our theme of Chevelloween. The wixy 1260 band is also gearing up for what joe calls a freakers ball. Dress your trailer up, dress your chevelle up, and dress yourself up, it's Halloween in August. Questions???

[jthomp1256]

I stalk you guys too so behave ,,,

[flash]

Do we have to behave ? I think not .

[frostgreen69SS]

I don't know about scarey. But it was a very good video. Well done.

[Ken Hayes]

That was awesome.

[72convertible]

News Flash!!!!!!!

Due to overwhelming response and search for a good time in August, we must let everyone know that the Holiday Inn is SOLD OUT!!! You might be able to get single nights.

We have made arrangements with the Super Eight Hotel next door to block a limited amount of rooms at a special rate. The Rate is $71.00 plus tax. You must use the group name Chevelle Club. Phone number is 440-238-0170.

Thanks for all your support and hope to see everyone in August.

[Ms Grumpy]

I am surprised that it took this long to sell out the hotel. I booked my 3 rooms back in December or January and was surprised that they had room. Anyway I am so looking forward to this year. My teenage girls are so geeked that it is a Halloween Theme and I am sure that they both will be dressing up.

So who is actually going ? And who is dressing up their car.
I know that I will be there Thursday-Sunday.

The Pumpkin Patch is starting to grow in OHIO. :)

Another Chevelle-o-mercial for Chevelloween

[Ms Grumpy]

Another cool commercial from the NOCC.

[flash]

Im hoping Chuck is able to pull off the all Chevelle show in Bowling Green that is in the plans ,since we dont do Facebook Ohio is not as hyped up so its hard to get excited about it .

[72convertible]

So get on FB.... Even Chuck is on there.

Here is another video....

[Ms Grumpy]

flash has a hard time with the internet where he is. So Facebook would probably be hard for him to even watch the videos.

[Ms Grumpy]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQP_...Q7t0N8cvBTRgyg

Another really cool video. I saw it last night and they keep getting better and better. I have been so busy getting ready for the show. Getting a couple baskets ready for your raffle, costume for car, me and the family.

[72convertible]

Watch this..... Starring Ms Grumpy Kidz

[Ms Grumpy]

My daughter Lauren wants to be a make-up artist. She loves doing this stuff.

[72convertible]

Sorry - I get a little emotional in this video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-udZpiKr2rE&list=UU3iiabbq0Q7t0N8cvBTRgyg

[Ms Grumpy]

That is understandable Mark. It was a great show even with the rain. I was back on the road once I got home and actually slept most of the day today. I am just now getting around to posting the pics from my camera. I can't wait until next years show with a Marti Gras theme. I will be there as a sponsor, a member (have to send in my registration to the club) and as a participant.

[Quadracer392]

I had a blast at this years show and met a ton of people and saw some really beautiful cars. Wish I could have stayed a while longer but I'll be back again for it next year, hopefully I'll have my car finished and I'll be able to bring it up.

[flash]

Your car dont have to be finished to bring up but I hope you get it done ,but most of all just bring yourself up again .

[Ms Grumpy]

Justin it was really nice meeting you. I wish that I had more time to spend with you and your dad. I am sorry that I didn't. I hope that you got a lot of different ideas for your build. I agree with flash, you don't have to have a finished car to bring it up. Besides you will have many people come up and give you ideas or help you with any questions you have. Take it from me, I did that my first year.

[chevymaher]

You guys look like you had fun. I mentioned to my wife going when the car was done to these get togethers a few weeks ago. I was met with a hard look. I just showed her the pictures of what all is going on. Now she liking the idea. I still years from completion but one day you may see this hillbilly at one of the meets.

[Ms Grumpy]

Don't wait until you are totally done to come. When the show is announced for next year, see if you can spend the night and come up for Saturday, go to the banquet and let the Mrs. see how much fun it is. You can always hang out with me.

[flash]

Is it too early to start planning for next years shindig ?

DID I MENTION ANYWHERE ELSE IM BORED AS HELL ,AT LEAST THEY ARE PAYING ME TO BE BORED .

[67SS]

I got my room reserved.

[sschevydude]

I got my room reserved and the car registered. Cant wait for next year already
