Well folks, it's time for the 12th annual and final Winterfest GTG, as the North American International Auto Show will be moving to summer starting in 2020.
WHEN:
The first public day of the show: Saturday, January 19th, 2019
As usual, due to the large number of out-of-towners, this event will cover the bulk of the weekend, beginning with a meet & greet and dinner in Ypsilanti, MI on Friday evening and concluding with breakfast at The Bomber on Sunday morning.
http://naias.com for more information on the auto show.
I have not yet planned this year's activities. Last year's visit to The Henry Ford Museum and River Rouge factory tour was a lot of fun and I think it would be fun to incorporate similar activities this year. If you have any suggestions, please post in the thread.
LODGING:
Once again, I'm hoping to stay at the Ypsilanti Marriott. It's a 40 minute drive from the COBO Center, it's a great place to stay, and Ypsi is an awesome town with great food (and not far from Ann Arbor).
The hotel is $144/night + tax. Please use the link below to book your room.
