Reservation made at the Notell Motel. Hopefully the adjacent room will have a less um, energetic couple than last year... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif)

Looks like I'll be dragging La Vieja along, we'll do the drive, and dinner, wherever it is. Thanks.

Nepal orange. Hope the weather's a bit better in 6 weeks

Oh, 1XL, 1L


I think the energetic couple is a regular at the Knights Inn that weekend, as I had the same experience three years ago. My TV wouldn't go loud enough to cover the noise!

Silver Dollar Saloon over at the bowling alley, Len.


I see our only problem is our numbers. The one year I booked us the conference room at the Silver Dollar and we had them cater. It was nice. Since then, no one has really taken over the lead. One tried...we ended up at Red Robin. Places will be packed. ABC will be packed, no idea about Troegs as they were set up after I moved. It looks small from the outside, but it is off the beaten track compared to all of the other places. There is the Grand China Buffet down from Underdogs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)



I don't mind taking the lead and handling the details. But, I would like a little feedback on what everyone wants. So that I make sure we set something up that meets your expectations. As I see it we have three options:

1. Go to a restaurant similar to Underdogs and use their general dining room/bar. Everyone orders their own food/drinks.
2. Go to a general restaurant and use a room that is separate from the regular dining room. Everyone orders their own food/drinks. Probably a better choice then #1.
3. Find a separate room and cater it. This would require that each person pitch a little in on food and drinks.

What is your preference?


Thanks for taking the lead Steve. I am cool with whatever the group decides. I've been in Troegs. They have a separate room off to the side that would be enough space for our group.

There are two problems I see with Troegs:

1. Parking - their lot is small. However, there is a strip mall next door - I just parked there and walked over.

2. Its not walking distance from the Knights Inn for those who want to imbibe.

Am making "914" out of painters tape to stick on whatever I drive up, so I won't stand out on the Friday drive. That'll work, right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

Putting it up on jack stands in the parking lot would work also,.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

If we are talking Saturday night, pizza in the Inn parking lot. Maybe get Don to bring Ribs.

If Friday, Hoffbrauhaus is pretty awesome, and they can handle the crowd post drive. But it is a good 40 minutes away from Hershey - keep in mind of drinking...

I spoke with Troegs today. They have two rooms: one small and one large. The small room will hold 50 people, and is $250. Pulling ideas together. We will have it nailed down in the next week.

We are less than a month out. If you haven't indicated whether you are coming to the Friday afternoon drive, and/or dinner Friday evening, please post here so we can get a head count.

I have been to Troegs a couple of times. It is good food and a good atmosphere. Parking lot sucks but they have guys there that may be able to help if you are getting the reserved room. If you buy a room they may reserve some parking. If you don't get a room they have big family style tables and a lot of standing areas. If you get there by 445-5 ish you should be able to get something. If you dont want to pay for a room there is a public eating area off the walking tour that you should be able to get and that would work. Most people don't hang there because it is away from the main seating area and has a fair amount of space with tables that can be combined. Food is counter service. It is listed as a snack bar but is a full menu. Most likely some Pennsylvania law issue. Recommend the brisket sandwich and popcorn with mad elf or troegenator.

Please post where the dinner/drinks will be on Friday.

I won't be doing the drive, but if the dinner is within walking/ stumbling distance from our 5 star resort I am in. Or a designated driver. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif)

We are trying to nail this down. Accommodating 40 or 50 people (which seems like the number) isn't easy for restaurants, apparently. We have spoken with at least 8 or 10, and haven't found many that can do it.

I think this is the best choice - http://www.funcks.com/

And it is only 1.7 miles from the Knights Inn.

Comments?
