International Route 66 Festival & Car Show - Springfield, Ill Sept 27-29
Initially Chas at CICCI was contacted by Alisha from the Springfield, Ill. Convention & Visitors Bureau.
She wanted to let us know about an annual event every year held in Springfield Ill.
Chas then notified me since I am in Illinois and a closer contact person to find out about this event.
Here is their website and a little more info about the weekend event.
Thought some here may be interested to bring our Crossfires to this show and park together and show off our cars.
Hotel info available below and I'm wanting to see who would be interested in attending this event.
International Route 66 Festival, Springfield, IL
Over 1,000 cool cars and 80,000 spectators will roll into the heart of Springfield's historic downtown this September for a weekend of family fun in the sun and non-stop live music and entertainment! Come celebrate the golden age of Route 66...the cars, the music, the food, the friends......all brought together along Illinois' Route 66.
$40 Registration fee includes weekend admission for the vehicle, driver, one passenger and any children 15 and under riding in your vehicle.
Most shows also include a goody bag.
HOTEL INFO:
Hotel rooms now available but they are first come first serve so don't delay.
I have secured a small number of rooms for the Crossfire Group.
You need to reserve your room by phone and tell them you are with the CROSSFIRE GROUP to get our special low rate
Here is the link to the hotel but reservations must be made by phone as I stated above
The State House Inn - Springfield, Illinois
Mapquest to Hotel >>http://mapq.st/145mKPt
The rate they are offering us is $82.99 and that includes a full/hot breakfast.
This hotel is good because you can walk to the festival, and they have open parking in their lot (not ramp parking like the other downtown hotels).
When booking if you can identify yourself as part of the “CROSSFIRE GROUP" that should get you the special rate.
The contact person for reservations at the State House Hotel is Alexandra
She can be reached by phone at (217)-528-5100 (ext.814)

I also have Alisha from the Springfield, Ill. Convention & Visitors Bureau doing some checking.
She is the one who discovered the Crossfire club and made contact with Chas originally inviting us to participate
She seems very nice and excited to have a group of Crossfires join the show for the very first time
