CanAm Cruise 2011 - 8/20/2011 - Agawam, MA - OFFICIAL THREAD
On behalf of Acurazine, 6thGenAccord.com and the Toronto Accord Club I would like to officially announce 2011's CanAm Cruise in Agawam Massachusettes
This is going to be the official 2011 CanAm Cruise Thread here on Acurazine. The dedicated CanAm Cruise website and forum should be up and running soon and when it is that will be the place to go for info on the cruise itself, hotel accommodations for the weekend (I have organized a group rate at a local hotel for those staying the weekend), caravan info for people coming from different regions, etc.
Right now Myself, Kevin (Goldnknight22), Ryan (eggs) and Carrie (CarrieLynn) are just about done with all of the planning.
Hotel Accomodations:
Red Roof Inn
1254 Riverdale Street
West Springfield, MA
This is more of a "budget" hotel with very basic amenities.
Room With Two Queen Beds: $59.99/night
Room With One Queen Bed: $55.99/night
Residence Inn by Marriott
64 Border Way
West Springfield, MA
This hotel is literally right behind the Red Roof, and is much nicer. The rooms at Residence Inn's are "apartment style" meaning they have kitchens with appliances, nice beds, flat screens and sleep at least four people.
Large "Studio" Room - Occupancy: 4 - 1 King, 1 Sofabed, 2 Rollaway beds permitted - $159/night
One Bedroom Suite - Occupancy: 4 - 1 Queen, 1 Sofabed, 1 Rollaway bed permitted - $159/night
Two Bedroom Suite - Occupancy: 6 - 2 Queens, 1 Sofabed, 2 Rollaway beds permitted - $229/night

Itinerary thus far:
Friday, August 19th 2011
- People will be coming in from out of town, so we will plan dinner and drinks at a restaurant close to the hotels which is TBD.
9:30am
Where:
Italian Sporting Club
349 Cooper Street
Agawam, MA 01001
What: Car show, BBQ, Chinese Raffle to benefit a TBD Charity.
Cost: Mandatory $10 donation per car (not per person). This will cover entry into the meet/show, participation in the cruise and a raffle ticket. All proceeds after overhead (food cost, venue rental, promotional items, raffle prizes, etc) will be donated to a TBD charity. Right now I'm leaning towards Susan G. Komen for the Cure (Breast Cancer Awareness) or The Phoenix House of Springfield (Non-profit Substance Abuse Rehabilitation Program that basically saved my life).
3:30pm
- We leave the Italian Sporting Club for a one hour cruise through the hills and back roads of Western Massachusetts. The cruise route has already been planned out and it's going to be awesome.
- Everyone will rendezvous at the Agawam Junior High School after the cruise. Reason for this is that people will be broken up into groups of 8-10 cars led by a CanAm Coordinator familiar with the cruise route. This is where everyone will meet up before we break off.
- For people staying overnight, this will be the time for you to get back to your hotel rooms, rest a bit, and get cleaned up for dinner, drinks and shenanigans.
- I picked this location because for one, it's awesome, but more so because it's located literally right next door to the Red Roof Inn and the Residence Inn. It's a two minute walk, or five to ten minute stumble from the front door of Hooters to your hotel room. So there will be no need to worry about drinking and driving because you won't have to!! If you can't walk, Carrielynn with be providing piggyback rides from the restaurant to the hotel for 25 cents.
A: Hooters of West Springfield
B: Red Roof Inn
C: Residence Inn
Cruise Route:
A: Start - Italian Sporting Club
G: End - Agawan Jr. High School
In the mean time, I need volunteers in the New England area to assist as Coordinators.
Duties of coordinators will be to help setup the meet/show, cook, break everything down, and lead groups of cars for the cruise. IIRC, the entire one hour cruise route has MAYBE three traffic lights, and I think two stop signs so it will be pretty easy to keep everyone together. The cruise leaders are just a precaution. I am friends with the Mayor of Agawam so I'm going to try and arrange an escort out of Agawam because that is where it is the most congested. I will also have authorization from the town to use the Junior High School as our rendezvois point, so we will have cooperation from local law enforcement. Because of this it will also be your responsibility to make sure everyone is on their best behavior.
Burn outs, mAd tYtE drIfTz and other general douchebaggery WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
If you want to volunteer as a coordinator please PM me or email jbmiller616 at gmail dot com

OOOOOH
It's going to be an awesome weekend!
I suggest that everyone who can make it for Friday night to come early and join us, and if possible, stay over Saturday night and leave Sunday morning.

Hi guys, my name's Kevin for those of you who don't know me. I'm one of the coordinators along with Justin (JMillerUA6) for CanAm.
If you are TRULY planning on attending, please try and reply with the following format so we can have a better idea of how many people we can expect and to help set up group rates at hotels and dinner reservations for Saturday night.
• Name:
• Number of people coming with you (not including yourself):
• Will you be staying overnight?
• Which nights (19th, 20th, or Both):
• How many rooms will you need?
*Note* I'm sure some people will be sharing rooms with one another. If this is the case just one of you will need to say that you need a room. For example, I put down that I need one room, Justin is rooming with me so he will put down "0" under number of rooms.
Thanks guys! This is going to be an awesome weekend!
