The last parade in CA was at Monterey, there was a record turnout. Several 914 members took honors.

I didn’t wanna say anything but yes my first thought my second thought was maybe this was their way of keeping those crusty 914’s out of the way.

Likewise, this one will be close/cheap enough to potentially be my first Parade...as long as I've got something with stellar A/C

Anyone with knowledge of the area and accusations ? Perhaps we could arrange a motel for a 914 group ? That would be cool......

I like that idea! I’m not sure at this point but I’m working on the idea of going with my son Winston.

My thought is to find a suitable site first. If you make a reservation early, there is always the option to cancel up tp 24 hrs prior.
I’m hoping a member thstivrd in the area will chime in; or someone that has stayed there.
There was a RTE 66 event in PS, where did they stay ?
You can cool off at the top of the tram...

Since it's a family oriented event, they try and keep the hotel rooms costs at a certain level while still providing a venue where the family won't get bored during the 7 days period. This usually means great resorts that are expensive during the 'season' but reasonable 'off season'. Palm Springs and Boca Raton in the summer are 'off season' but top notch resorts. With all that said, the folks who run Parade are very good with managing the heat. Last year at Boca, the concours was held right across from the hotel on the golf course. It was a 2-5 minute walk from the concours to the cool interior of the hotel. Once inside, you could go to see the large indoor historic Porsche display, shop at the goodie store or hit up a restaurant or coffee bar. When we went to Savannah is 2011, local folks told us we were crazy. We had a record turnout that year and I still have people asking when we're going back. Managing the heat. It's the key to success when you're hosting a Parade on the sun

A bunch of us from the PHX/Scottsdale area are planning on it but I must admit I won't be taking a 914, not that time of year across the desert!!
Will also be going over that direction a few weeks earlier for the Steve McQueen deal at the Boys Republic so it will be a busy start to the summer.
A friend of mine here is the PCA MC for all the events and is in on all the planning, etc. Says the host hotel is really nice. And we won't have the humidity they had in FL last summer for the Parade!
