Dates for 2019 and 2020 National Conventions

[Mark E.]

What are the dates for these? Couldn't find them under Events, or Calendar of Events.

I saw the ad for the 2019 National on pg. 25 of Restorer, but it didn't show dates.

Thank you.

I believe the 2020 National is at the French Lick Resort in Indiana.

No date for it yet?

Do you know something the rest of us don't? I am with Mark per previous announcements.

So far as I know, you two are correct. I mis-typed.

You scared me for a minute Don. 2020 is the year of the 1970 Corvette and I am looking forward to bringing out the old dog for that one.

To clarify, the 2020 National is in French Lick, IN, but no dates announced yet. Correct?

The dates are July 19th to the 23rd at French Lick, Indiana. French Lick is in Southern Indiana about 60 miles northwest of Louisville, KY. Closest major airport.

French Lick is a small town with a large history. Founded around some sulfur springs that were popular in the late 1800's and early 1900's for medicinal purposes. Pluto Water was bottled and sold nationwide as cure for anything that ailed you. Two Grand Hotels where built there to offer sulfur water baths and luxurious accommodations. Presidents and Kings were visitors there as well as Al Capone and many of the wealthy from around the nation. The train ran from Chicago to French Lick and brought in the guests on a regular schedule.

During Prohibition French Lick was wide open for liqueur, gambling and other vices. The local sheriff knew what was good for the economy of his county. Today it hosts a Casino adjacent to the French Lick Hotel, and the local sheriff allows alcohol to be served openly.

In recent years a local philanthropist and his wife spent millions of dollars to bring the two magnificent hotels back from the brink of being lost forever. The main convention will be at the French Lick Springs Hotel and Convention Center. A mile down the road is the West Baden Hotel, the most lavish of the two. You will have to make the short trip down there to at least tour the atrium and grounds of the West Baden Hotel. For those who wish the most lavish accommodations, the West Baden Springs Hotel is the place to stay. Just a short trip to the convention with shuttle service available. Virtual Tour Here

There is a Don Dyer golf course, one of the finest in the country. There are two other fine courses in the area.

There are other hotels in the area as well. The whole area of French Lick and West Baden is about a mile and a half along Hwy 56. Nothing is very far away.

Make your plans now to attend this convention located in the beautiful rolling hills of Southern Indiana.

Make plans now to attend the 2020 NCRS National Convention.

My understanding is that 2021 is in Palm Springs another long Road Tour.
