Comet Gathering 2016
Dear Comet East Members,
I wanted to personally invite you to attend this years Comet Gathering (2016) held in Pigeon Forge, Tn at the Mountain Breeze hotel. The dates for the 2016 Gathering are June 3,4,5. The group of comet owners and enthusiast that have attended the event in the past have had so much fun talking and telling telling stories about the comets. The event has no fees and there are so many spectators that stop and look at the Comets. There are always those individuals that view the cars and remember growing up or dating in a Comet being part of their adventures. I'm always so happy to see the kids that look over the cars. It is always neat to see the younger group come around and show interest in the old Comets. Corky

Well if I ever make it there my plan is to go see Elvis' place etc , make a bit of a holiday out of it.CALIFORNIA CALIENTE wrote:loman;you paying for it?It is not the time [two to three days each way] that bothers me,it is the cost!!! ROY.
Then Marilyn might put up with the 12 hrs a day on the road I'd have to put down,, in Sassy!!
First I have to find the reason for the stalling out of the blue then I can consider long distance.

Re: Comet Gathering 2016
Well obviously a lot shorter trip for me, but My wife and I are making it a vacation, we have been on about 3 vacations (or maybe 1 or 2) since we were married 27 years ago.
We thought about going and visiting Elvis but have decided to go through Nashville instead.
See Ya,
Mike

Roy, I totally understand where your coming from!
As a Canadian I would have to add about 30 percent to that just for the exchange rate on the dollar!

Re: Comet Gathering 2016
I understand perfectly well Roy, it is just about a day and half drive for me, hopefully gas prices will be same as they are now next summer and my wife stays out of town for work so she has built up points so we will be able to stay at least one night for free along the wayCALIFORNIA CALIENTE wrote:I hope everyone took my post for the right reason!

Of course I would love to meet all the guys in person that I feel I have known forever

Re: Comet Gathering 2016
If your wife likes country music, CMA fanfair is the week after PF, on jun 9 -12. you could catch Elvis on the way - way down & hit country music on the way back. Sounds like You two deserve a couple weeks vacation! Me, I'm glad all that is the week after PF, so we get to dodge the traffic, & maybe Comethead might can find a flight this year!lavron wrote:Well obviously a lot shorter trip for me, but My wife and I are making it a vacation, we have been on about 3 vacations (or maybe 1 or 2) since we were married 27 years ago.

Re: Comet Gathering 2016
Roy, I understand. I was just teasing you a bit. If the gathering was in Cali, I'd have a hard time justifying the time and trip also.CALIFORNIA CALIENTE wrote:I hope everyone took my post for the right reason!
