While in the Asheville Area, take some time to visit Highland Brewing - Asheville's first legal brewery since prohibition & the largest independent, family-owned brewery native to the Southeast. CLICK

 

I am hoping to be able to attend this year and spend the next week touring the Parkway and Skyline drive finishing with our family reunion in Chesapeake, VA the next weekend. Don’t know which of the three roadsters I will be driving.

 

Another Vineyard close to Crossfire Host Hotel; Victoria Valley Vineyards.

I have formed a new group on Facebook to share up to the minute details, info and pictures for the Fall Rally:
Search for "Chrysler Crossfire Fall Rally Info/Pics/Trade" on Facebook and ask to join if you are attending this event in September

All pertinent event information will also be posted in this thread.
I encourage attendees to keep an eye on both sites. Thanks!

 

Please add Mick and Betsey to the list. Registered, hotel booked, and the Sapphire is ready to roll.

Mick and Betsey, S'ville Texas. If you don't know where S'ville Texas is , it's just down the road from Rosanky, Texas.

Cheers and looking forward to the rally.

Mick

 

59 Cars - Been awhile since we had that many sign up!

 

....and we're still over 6 weeks out! I'm sure we will pick up a few more before go time!

 

So time is finally going to allow us to attend. My wife read on FB that the room block is full. If anyone decides they can't make it, I would be glad to take over your room.

Thanks, James

 

I shared this with the Fall planning committee
I hope a room becomes available !!!

 

Thanks Gary. James

 

As we get closer, people's plans change for a variety of reasons. Rooms become available. We have had two come up this week. I think they have been snapped up already, but I will try to pass information back over here from the FB groups. If you are on FB, please consider joining our group for the Fall Rally, https://tinyurl.com/Fall-Rally-Info-Pics-Trade Chrysler Crossfire Fall Rally Info/Pics/Trade

 

Who is handling coordinating the tours? I have a suggestion for a tour, Mingus Mill in Smokey Mountain National Park. We can loop through Sylvia, Cherokee to the Mill. On the way back go through Maggie Valley.

The run routes are being finalized now, and if this is along the way, we may be able to add this in as a stop. Thanks!

 

NEW EVENT! (potentially) Our venue city of Asheville offers up a number of new opportunities for tours we have never had before.
In the works is a vineyard/winery tour, and now a real special opportunity for FRIDAY, and that is a tour of the Biltmore Estate, https://www.biltmore.com/
This is a very beautiful tour, and it is less than 15 minutes from our hotel. It is not as much a driving tour, but may offer some really cool photography settings.
Be aware that this is a fairly expensive tour, but if we can gather up 10 people to do the tour, we can get a group discount rate that helps quite a bit.
Our tour would include the grounds and the glass blowing exhibits. We will need commitments ahead of time, so that we can coordinate advance payment for the group rates.
So far, confirmed we have:
1. Lori Edmunds (paid)
2. Theresa Edmunds (paid)
3. Mary Chastain
4. Diana Hayse
5. Nancy Harrison (paid)
6. Mike Ethridge
7. Monica Greaney (paid)
8. Jerry Greaney (paid)
9. Neil Chelnik
10. Linda Chelnik
11. Peggy Jones (paid)
12. James Jones (paid)
13.
14.
15.
16.

20.

Great news! We have enough people to qualify for the discount! There's still room, though, so if you think you would like to attend this, we can certainly add you. We will need to close this group at some point, but we will leave the list open as long as possible. When we do close it, we will provide final pricing and payment info.

 

Nemiro, regarding the Biltmore Tour on Friday. Count Mick and Betsey Sterling in.

Thanks

 

Mick, I will add you to the list!

 

Question regarding registration. I finally have confirmed person for my additional guest. Do I need to modify my registration or just indicate that I will have a passenger in my car? Her name is Barbara C.

 

No worries on that, Brian. Added to second post.

 

Do you have an idea what the cost would be?

 

There are various prices for the grounds, house and Chihuly glass works. Normal price for the house and grounds is $110, but I believe the discount is on the order of $20-25. It is an expensive day, but everyone I have ever known to have gone to the Biltmore has said it is well worth it.
