Gentleman and Ladies,

A few of us have discussed off season the need for a DodgeDurango.net Meet at the 2015 Carlisle All Chrysler Nationals. The event will be July 10-12 in Carlisle PA.
This is a Great Venue and an opportunity to meet as many of the members online and show off your pride. Everyone will be parked together on the showfield. A tent large enough for us all to hang out in to stay out of the sun and a place to eat.

Please go here 2015 Carlisle Chrysler Nationals Showfield to pre register for the show.
Under Club please use DURANGO OWNERS CLUB

We have pre-arranged a block of 10 rooms at the following hotel most of us will stay at. PLEASE USE CODE"DURANGO OWNERS CLUB" when registering your room.Centerstone Inn & Suites Harrisburg West


4943 Gettysburg Rd, Mechanicsburg, PA, 17055, US


Phone Number :1-717-796-0300
CENTERSTONE INN AND SUITES
A room rate of $129 per night has been arranged as well. This is a pretty good rate for the nationals and its a Nice clean place. All Rooms are double queen beds so it may save a few of you to share a room with another member.

We will have a full itinerary as time goes forward to show where the group will go for dinners Friday night Sat Night and Breakfast on Both Sat and Sun before we all convoy to the show to get the results and say our goodbyes before heading home.
If you will be staying elsewhere from the club we will arrange a rendezvous point to meet up each morning. Its Always Awesome to convoy in all together.

Please add your name below only if you will be attending and please indicate if you have booked your room at the hotel and if you are
registered with Carlisle (REMEMBER CLUB DURANGO OWNERS CLUB) If you are staying elsewhere please write hotel elsewhere next to name

Two questions: Approximately how far away from the fairgrounds is the hotel where most of you are staying at? Secondly, if you purchase a pass or whatever to park inside the gates with all of you guys, and you accidentally get drunk, are you allowed to leave your vehicle there overnight, and take a taxi back? (Hypothetically speaking, of course) I love to have fun, but driving with tint after a few drinks is not something I'm willing to chance.
 
#88 ·
No worries as Tom stated none of us take chances we will Party where its safe and we can all get back to Hotel safely.
We are Family we watch out for each other.

It's about a 15-mile drive.

I don't think overnight parking is allowed, but not sure. Most of the adult beverage consumption happens during the evening, so we haven't had to worry about needing a ride back from the show.
 
#92 ·
two cases will be plenty I think for an enjoyable quaff... with the heat and the sun we keep the on-site consumption pretty low lest we all pass out..

We will go through several cases of water, though..
 
#94 ·
If we get enough attendees it could be a special Brand of Water...

And Bring Sunblock!! Nothing worse than a Bright Red overheated Durango Owner

I say its a tribute weekend to Popcorn Sutton,

LOL
I am sure he has a Mopar as well.
STEVE

The sun is important. We've all ended up with at least some bright red patches where we missed the sunblock.

The goods news is that we'll have a tent, so there will be a place to at least get some shade.

Not that it matters at this point, but you don't need to wait to book with Carlisle - especially when they offer the early discount in December. It's very easy to switch vehicles for your registration. I had registered with my Stratus Coupe for 2014, and after buying the Durango last May, called them up and switched vehicles. If you do it before early June, you will get your sticker mailed out with updated vehicle, so no waiting at check in.

We allowed to grill under the tent?
 
#104 ·
Yes or behind it
We have had both Charcoal and gas grills in the past.
As we got closer I was going to address this.
