It's official but details are sorely lacking.  The convention will be just outside of Chicago somewhere.  We couldn't afford the unions workers in Chicago proper.  We are poor and do the work ourselves.  Don't know the town.  Don't know the hotel.  Don't know the date, but it's always in mid to late June.

Look forward to meeting a whole bunch of my friends from Muggersville ;D
Always move forward. Never look back.

I'd like to know the details to.  June is about the time of year I would gladly go back to Chicagoland for a visit.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I forgot to mention that this will be in 2016.  NADA comes but every two years.

2016 will probably work better for me being that I am about to move now. ;D

Hope to get to meet everyone who can attend.  :)

I'm thinking either the Naperville 'Marriott'....or Downers Grove 'Doubletree"......????..both could handle it easily....the old swap site out in Mt Prospect could too...it's a 'Hilton', I believe..it evens sports an indoor water park, and is right next to Arlington Race Track......

Our requirements have always been good food either close or at the hotel itself and a bar that stays open until 2 am.

I posted your first guess on simple :-[  Nicholson will say if your guess is wrong.  I know that they have chosen well in the past and they will choose well again.  I can't wait.
