Also, Friday's "Kickoff Cruise" has been set for 5pm. Meet at the hotel parking lot. We'll have a nice drive, and then get back and head to dinner by 7pm. Then... let the shenanigans begin!
Sounds good. Whereabouts in VT? Cuz there are some amazing driving roads going up through the berkshires and into VT, depending on where you'd be going.
CanAm Cruise stands for Canadian-American Cruise and is an annual Accord-based meet & cruise. It's not just for Accords, there's a bunch of other Hondas/Acuras and some other cars, too. But Accords are still the focus. The past 3 years it has been held in Niagara Falls, Ontario. This is the first year we're bringing it to the States.
It's not your typical hard parking Honda scene meet. Getting to know everybody and people feeling like part of a big family is the name of the game. I know there's a handful of 7th gens already coming, hope to see some of you guys, too.
I wanted to personally invite you all to CanAm '11. It's in Mass instead of Niagara Falls, Canada this year, so we expect a much bigger American turnout. Tim went last year and can attest to much fun this event is. Not your typical Honda scene meet, trust me! -------------------------------------------------------------------
On behalf of 6thGenAccord.com, Acurazine and the Toronto Accord Club I would like to officially announce 2011's CanAm Cruise in Agawam, Massachusetts
Hotel Accomodations:
Red Roof Inn 1254 Riverdale Street West Springfield, MA
This is more of a "budget" hotel with very basic amenities.
Room With Two Queen Beds: $59.99/night Room With One Queen Bed: $55.99/night
Residence Inn by Marriott 64 Border Way West Springfield, MA
This hotel is literally right behind the Red Roof, and is much nicer. The rooms at Residence Inn's are "apartment style" meaning they have kitchens with appliances, nice beds, flat screens and sleep at least four people.
Large "Studio" Room - Occupancy: 4 - 1 King, 1 Sofabed, 2 Rollaway beds permitted - $159/night One Bedroom Suite - Occupancy: 4 - 1 Queen, 1 Sofabed, 1 Rollaway bed permitted - $159/night Two Bedroom Suite - Occupancy: 6 - 2 Queens, 1 Sofabed, 2 Rollaway beds permitted - $229/night
*People will be coming in from out of town, so we will plan dinner and drinks at a restaurant close to the hotels which is TBD.
Saturday, August 20th 2011 - Meet & Cruise Day 9:30am
Where: Italian Sporting Club 349 Cooper Street Agawam, MA 01001
What: Car show, BBQ, Chinese Raffle to benefit Komen For The Cure. Cost: Mandatory $10 donation per car (not per person). This will cover entry into the meet/show, participation in the cruise and a raffle ticket. All proceeds after overhead (food cost, venue rental, promotional items, raffle prizes, etc) will be donated to Susan G. Komen for the Cure (Breast Cancer Awareness).
3:30pm
*We leave the Italian Sporting Club for a one hour cruise through the hills and back roads of Western Massachusetts. The cruise route has already been planned out and it's going to be awesome.
4:30 - 5:00pm
*Everyone will rendezvous at the Agawam Junior High School after the cruise. Reason for this is that people will be broken up into groups of 8-10 cars led by a CanAm Coordinator familiar with the cruise route. This is where everyone will meet up before we break off.
5:30 - 8:00pm
*For people staying overnight, this will be the time for you to get back to your hotel rooms, rest a bit, and get cleaned up for dinner, drinks and shenanigans.
8:00pm - ??:?? Dinner and drinks at Hooters of West Springfield
*I picked this location because for one, it's awesome, but more so because it's located literally right next door to the Red Roof Inn and the Residence Inn. It's a two minute walk, or five to ten minute stumble from the front door of Hooters to your hotel room. So there will be no need to worry about drinking and driving because you won't have to!! If you can't walk, Carrielynn with be providing piggyback rides from the restaurant to the hotel for 25 cents.
