| Some to you were there 4 years ago when I hosted the Fall 2007 Chrysler 300 Club Int'l. Meet. This is a great weekend, so, if you can, you may want to make plans to go. The Club members sat on the lawn in front of the Hotel on Friday evening and watched a hour long parade go by. The cars were staged right up the street and headed off to Downtown.
A 4-5 block square area downtown is fenced off with 10 foot chain link fence and the cars and venders are set up inside. Lots to see and do. Here's the info, enjoy!
