Spyderfest Hotel info and more about ''The Next Legacy''

[pitbull]

It was also $109 at Candlewood, but for a King bed. The queens were $79 I think. But the extra $ for a King is worth it to me. My wife and I both rest better and that is a small price to be refreshed for all the activities and visiting to be done every day!

edit: But I am still going to call them tomorrow to see if we can squeeze a discount. Worth a try!

I'll be at both hotels tomorrow. With the Springfield torrism board backing us up. I bet we get them to give us the better rate then.

Rid (or Randy)-
Keep watching here. In a few days I'm sure you'll be seeing more details on what to do. There will be a registration web site to register that you're coming, etc. Later, there will be a schedule of events, lists of places to eat, events to see, and loads more. Hang in there and trust that there will be loads more coming your way!

There should be an announcement of when registration for Spyderfest is open.

We will do our best to keep you all informed on registration, along with how the event will be layed out and the complete schedule of events.

Thanks a lot for that Lamont.

I just called Candlewood and they said they are NOT booking any rooms for these dates TILL tomorrow at 11:00. They are negotiating a SpyderFest price...

I went ahead and made reservations at the Hampton Inn. The rate wasn't all that bad, ~$800 for 7 nights, King bed.

This will be our first Spyderfest! I've been reading the stories of how much fun it is and we can't wait!

This year we will have vendors space indoors and outdoors to accommodate for any unexpected weather. The main event will take place at the Ozark Empire Fairgrounds. More to come on this. http://www.ozarkempirefair.com/facilities/

So now you know a little about Spyderfest 2014 I'm going to give you some of the details about "The Next Legacy" and what that means. This was Len's name by the way if you love it or hate it.

Len and I have been building a strong relationship for the last 5 years and I love him and his family like they were my own. Len is an incredible young man with more drive and determination than anyone I've ever met. His character is beyond reproach and I am proud to call him my friend and also my partner in a new venture we have a vision for.

We just signed papers for some land that we will be building "The Lamonster Garage" just 11 miles north of the Pit Bull shop. This 10 acre lot is where we will be building all Pit Bulls Spyders for the show room with some of his techs and the Lamonster techs to make sure that your first experience of Spyder ownership is a good one. We'll do custom builds also and have some service work done there. We'll also be a parts warehouse for all things Spyder and will direct ship from the warehouse. We are building an online store on SpyderLovers that you will be able to have a one stop shopping experience.

Our plans are to make The Lamonster Garage a Spyder hub where you can come and just hangout if you like and ride around the area. We're shooting for a Grand Opening at the time of Spyderfest but that may be a little ambitious.

I am more excited about this venture than any other I've done through the years. I had a mobile welding biz for 16 years in San Diego and for the last 14 years I've been working in the motorcycle industry designing parts and running club forums. I just sold that business and was looking to do something I really love with the rest of my life and Spyder and Spyder people is what I love and have a passion for and I can't think of a better person to do this with than Len from Pit Bull. I hope we can be a blessing to you all and serve you well. For sure we will make mistakes and screw up from time to time but we will make it right by all means possible if you just give us the chance. Look for great things in the future of all things Spyder.

Thank you and God Bless you both. Pray that you will have an awesome business. Hope that we can make it to our first Spyderfest!!!

The Candlewood Inn is now taking reservations for SpyderFest. For a queen suite is 89.00 +tax. Just booked mine...

[bruiser]

Kris just called back to the Candlewood as she was told last night. The Spyderfest rate went up. Last night she was told $74 and change for a queen bed. When she called back today she was told it would be 89.90 for the Spyderfest rate. She told the guy what they told her last night. He said that rate was for the other motels they own but not the Candlewood. However, he gave her the lower rate anyway because of what the night auditor told her. That was good of them to do that.

Well I was in exactly the same boat as ya'll about the 74 dollar quote last nite. I just called Candlewood back and NO-GO with getting mine changed back to the originally quoted price of 74. BTW-they only have 20 rooms blocked off for us as of now....

[PrairieSpyder]

I booked at the Best Western Plus, across from the Lamplighter at $74/night, Tue 4/29 till Mon 5/4. The room includes fridge, microwave, coffee, and breakfast in the lobby.

BW+ is one of the hotels the Lamplighter referred me to since they're booked up. The other was the EconoLodge. They both have Spyderfest rates.

Can't wait! Can't wait!

[Bumblebee67]

Don't forget about that dance that you owe me...

[Ex-Rocket]

I'm booked at the Best Western April 30 - May 4. Rooms are going fast. Come on Spring.

[jwulf74]

What time will things get rolling on the 30th? Should we come in on the 29th or by say noon on the 30th??

[dick574]

With the host hotel all booked up, are there any recommendations for other places to stay that are in the same area? I saw that someone suggested the Hampton Inn but I saw that there were two of them near the host hotel, so not sure which one I should try. This will be my first Spyderfest, so I am looking forward to see what it is all about.

The one you would want is on N. Glenstone.

I'm not an expert, other than attending 3 SF events. But I can tell you that people will start arriving on the 26th! I can also tell you that typically it's not a huge deal if you miss any single thing at the beginning (other than wanting to be there for everything). Pitbull, MOGang and the others that put the schedule together understand that with people ryding in, they schedule multiple big group events. So, if you miss one... There are many more.
