We have had  a most successful Lode Fest in Lexington, KY last week.  Thank you all for attending and adding your expertise to the many discussions.  Chris Lipscomb will be establishing a drop box to contribute pictures.  We have received an offer to hold the 2020 Lode Fest from Karl and Ruth Middelhauve of Wausau, WI.  This is to be a technically oriented session.  The dates will be published when available.  Hope all will plan to attend.

Friday Dining has been moved to Thirsty Fox / Zim's Café -combination Bourbon Bar and Kentucky Cuisine -(Shrimp & Grits?).

Anyone who is registered can go to the homepage and click LodeFest.  When that page opens, there is a "Registrants" tab with that information.  

I have been asked to post a list of attendees.  I can't figure out how.  It won't accept a .wks file as an image.

This is the last week to make reservations at the Hilton Embassy Suites on Lexington Green.  August 23 is the cutoff date.  Later reservations may be made at higher rates.  We have added the car display on Saturday afternoon.  We have also chosen the restaurants for the Thursday and Friday dinners.  Honeywood Restaurant provides an eclectic menu with fresh, locally grown produce.  That is our Thursday evening dinner. Friday evening we visit Saul Good Restaurant for burgers and sandwiches with local flair plus a variety of other local favorites.  We hope you enjoy.  Saturday evening we will be at the hotel.

We are intending to have a show and shine Saturday afternoon after the Horse Park visit in the town of Midway where there are quaint shops, restaurants for lunch, and antique, book stores.

We have had a question about a time and place to show our cars and engage with each other.  We will look into that.

Lode Fest is now less than 2 months away.  Hotel reservations are limited but some are left.  Cutoff date for M-100 room rate is August 23.  Room includes hot breakfast and reserved parking for M-100 cars.  Check Home Page for direct access to M-100 hotel reservations.  A number of you have replied but haven't yet registered for Lode Fest.

Just paid registration and reserved a room.  Unfortunately I don't think I'll have the engine back in the 6.3 but look forward to meeting everyone.

I just made plane reservations for the return trip --Will drive out to Kentucky with Jack.

Jack, I will be attending. I am really overloaded right now and will be putting together my trip plans shortly....to include Lodefest sign-up. Keep pushin' ! By the way, Lodestar should be mailed out soon ( early July).

Last week I mailed out letters and brochures to all of the current members for whom we have mailing addresses.  Several have been returned as not deliverable.  I really need to know how many members intend to attend.  Lode Fest is in Lexington, KY, third week in September.  Registration and hotel reservation can be made through links on this M-100.co website home page.  Please respond.

2019 Lode Fest now on Facebook with link to M-100.co & registration

Dear Friends,

Registrations for the Lode Fest in September are behind schedule.  The home page leads you directly to registration and hotel reservation.  Payment can be made on PayPal or by check to the treasurer.  We need head counts for dinners and tickets to the various attractions.

Act now.

The new website is operational. Reservations for the hotel and registration for the Lode Fest are available NOW. Go to the bottom of the Home Page and click on Lode Fest. You can easily pay on PayPal or send a check to the Treasurer. The program is complete and should be excellent and the weather perfect. Lexington is less than a 2 days drive from most of America.

Whoops,
Jack, I clicked on the delete button on the first message and it deleted the whole thread. Can you put back up what you want and we can go from there unless Chris has some way of resting the old thread.
Sorry,
