I am going to have to give Volo a head count soon, well, I should say a car count. So anybody else please let me know.

Based on the list so far, I have about 15 cars.

Nobody gas to commit to anything. But if they happen to be busy that day and they run out of parking spaces...

Go ahead and count me in for Volo. If, for some reason, I can't make it -- is there a fee or anything? It's too far out to be 100% sure that I can make it.

No fees. I am just trying to reserve parking spaces at Volo, as they can get crowded on Saturdays. I think the admission to Volo is $9, but only if you actually go into the museum. I am not sure what Great Lakes is going to be if you want to run, I still have to talk to them.

PupFromCleveland · #55 (**permalink**) 07-11-09, 08:46 PM

i just re aranged a few things so now im 100 percent sure so count me in as one more car

hueterm · #56 (**permalink**) 07-11-09, 08:58 PM

The Volo museum sounds good. I guess I would go to Great Lakes and watch, but I'm not running a car.

I got a better rate at Red Roof Inn in Downers Grove (~55/night) with my AAA than any group rate they offered. I think a few others may be staying there, too, but not sure.

ill check out the red roof in but netter been a fan of it might see where or what other places are in the area might find a starwood or mariot property and use points for a free room only reason i would stay at the red roof in is if there was a block or group rate and others where stayin gthere also

I'm staying at the Red Roof Inn because it's pet friendly and close to several of the local members. And I'm cheap.
