Hello C3VR Party Goers!

     Here's some information on the next get-together that is now

being planned. It will be in Vevay, Indiana right on the banks of

the Ohio River. It was originally built by a Mr. Ogle and upon his

death it was left to the city of Vevay. It was purchased by Belterra Casino and completely renovated several years ago. Big

beautiful wood beams and timber inside. Also, has nice riverview

rooms looking at the river and the hills of Kentucky.

     I am hoping that with a more southern location that we can attract members from Louisville and surrounding areas.

     If this catches your interest please try and respond as soon as possible so that we can block rooms. This place only has 35 rooms left as of today because it is not a huge complex.

     To view this place go to www.bestwestern.com and go to Vevay,In

and look for Ogle Haus Inn 1013 W Main St. Vevay, In 47043.

     Hope we have a huge turnout    Butch      Here's the list of attendees so far: butch's vettes2010-10-04 19:33:05

Butch , I believe I am in for this. 

Okay Party Goers here's the latest information on the October Get-together

  I have blocked 15 rooms at the Ogle Haus Inn/Best Western in Vevay, In

  for the 7th,8th and 9th of October-leaving on the 10th. In order to make

  these reservations you have to call the Best Western/Ogle Haus directly.

  I am not sure as to the reasoning, but it might have something to do

  with the fact that I got a $50 per night reduction on the room and they

  don't want it to go through Best Western. The room rate will be $79 per

  night for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. No increase for week-end stays

  and this is for any room. I want all of you to be aware of the fact they

  have nice river-view rooms and on the first floor they walk out onto a

  concrete patio. There are only two floors to the complex. The phone #

  is: 812-427-2020 and the rooms are blocked as: C3VR/Butch.

  The Ogle Haus offers: 100 percent non-smoking rooms,riverview patio/

   deck, complimentary cable,HBO and hot breakfast, heated outdoor pool,

  in-room Microwave & refrigerator, King & Queen size beds, Master suites

  with jetted tubs, Stein Room Lounge, complimentary wireless Internet.

  As time goes on my partner in crime (Tux) will be researching restaurants

  and road tours. Hoping you'll get your rooms booked early for a great

  turnout and don't forget that you have to call Ogle Haus direct @ 812-

  427-2020.

  P.S. Mr Hamilton the hotel has informed me that will not allow any 5th

        wheel trailers in the parking lot, so I guess you and your bride will

        just have to arrive in your C5.

  If there are any questions you can always send me an e-mail.

             Best regards, Butch & Jani

reservation made !!!!

BACK HOME AGAIN....IN INDIANA!!!!!   OK, Pat and I have made our reservations for Oct 7, 8 and 9 for the October get-together in Vevay.  Looks like it will be fun.  Thanks to Butch and Jani for putting this one together.  Cannot wait to see you all again.  I was disappointed to see that Butch was only kidding about parking the trailer.  I was looking forward to driving the 50th, especially if there was a chance of rain, hail, etc.  You all know how I love to drive the car in the weather.  However, since he was kidding, (imagine Butch trying to pull someone's leg) and the lady at the motel said there was lots of parking for the trailer, I am going to try to bring the C3.  I have been doing some things, such as new motor mounts, trans mount, spark plugs and wires, new rear spring, etc.  I am currently working on the resolution to change the No 3 cylinder spark plug.  My last solution was to park the car in the middle of a big open field, place 300 lbs of TNT under the oil pan, attach long fuse and light.  Then call the insurance company and hope the replacement car has a new set of plugs.  Pat has suggested I re-think that solution, but I don't know...................Any way the good Lord willing we will be there. Cannot wait.  If I can help in any way, let me know

Just booked.  Marilyn and I should be there around 8:00pm on Friday.  Looking forward to seeing everyone. 

This looks like another great time with my favorite people!! Thanks for puttin it together guy's. Its a lil early to commit, but Patty and I will do our best to be there. Somebody's gotta be there to keep you kids in line.

Looks Like 17 so far Clint.

Maybe Butch or Jani wil edit their 1st post and list out the attendees.

Mrs Tux.. and I are supposed to make a road trip this weekend to check on some of the entertainment and a couple of the chow down spots with Butch & his beautiful sidekick.

Maybe an agenda can be posted in the near future.....

But I can assure you that it will be a fun time! But then when hasn't it been when all of us crazy 3 folks get together?


Uh an by the way...... Wear the HAT.......

Hey Mel,

Can you drag some of the other fine Southern Folks along with you as you slide through their states?

It sure would be great to meet and see some faces from this region in attendance!

I also hope that the newbies and anyone who signs up at Funfest will put these dates on their Calendar to attend.

Mrs Tux and I made our reservation on Saturday. We spent the day with Butch's Vettes & White 78 checkin out the scenery, roads, river, eateries, and entertaining joints. It was a productive and great day.

Mrs. Tux... and I returned today and cruised up and down the river with some other Vette friends. we had the pleasure to see the LST 325 heading up stream and through the Markland Dam locks.

It was an awesome sight! I also met one of the former crew members who was aboard the battleship when she beached at Normandy.

Anyway, there will be plenty to do and see and this will be a fun and relaxing fall outing!!!

Its all about the people Al.   Whatever gets me there. I'm a little nervous about my rear wheel bearing. Until I have a chance to fix it I'm not trusting taking a 1,000 mile trip.
Wish you could make it.

Your right brother Terry. That is why I went to Jersey without my car when it refused to go up on that trailer.
