OVERVIEW:
Valley Forge, PA
Valley Forge National Historic Park is the center of many attractions. There are tons of historical sites, museums, great shopping venues, and more natural wonders than anywhere in North America. Valley Forge is located about a half hour from Philadelphia and it's a great area for day trips, group tours, and the TDIFest.
Hotel:
The Sheraton Park Ridge Hotel at Valley Forge would be the location of the 2006 Tdi Fest.

The Sheraton Park Ridge is pleased to offer TDI Fest 2006 a special, $80 per room, per night, rate based on single or double occupancy for September 1-4, 2006. They will also provide our group with a large complimentary poolside hospitality suite. The Hospitality Suite consists of 3 rooms that are interconnected and can open up to one large room. We will use this to organize registration and hold educational seminars throughout the weekend.
Hotel Parking and TDI CLUB Activities Areas
The hotel has three main parking areas. The front is reserved for transient guests. The other two lots would be reserved for the TDIFest. The rear parking lot will be reserved for activities, such as car wash, vendors, Show ‘n’ Shine and general Fest parking. The third parking is an annex, owned by the Sheraton Hotel and Lockheed Martin; it consists of approximately 110 parking spaces. This parking lot will be exclusive for our slow speed autocross.
