was about to respond to your question on the website, but I see you found the address.

[prin]

I see that Americade is offering a trip to the Can Am factory. Any chance of that happening with SpyderQuest? I know many would be interested. Secondly, I tried to book an extra (early) night witht the host hotel (GEL) and was told they are not booking any rooms on Sept. 10 as they will be closed. Saiid they were opening up for Spyderquest on Thursday. If that is true, how can we register on Wednesday and how will vendors be there if they are not open?
