Comet Gathering 2016

Post by corky.broughton »

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. :D :D :D 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.
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.

I'd rather do it myself if it's done right or not,,,isn't that what hotrodding is all about

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!

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 :roll: 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 way :P

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

See Ya,
Mike

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! :D 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!

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.
