More info you need to know.

Our host hotel is holding virtually all of its available rooms for us. They have asked that we make our reservations no later than May 24th in order to guarantee the rate and availability. So, reserve your room by then. Just tell them you are with the PT Cruiser Club (even if you are not a member of PTCC).

Pre-registration will end June 10th. That is the cut-off date to have your t-shirt ordered. We will have them available at check-in.

More activities are being planned and this will be a fun-filled weekend.

This year, we will have the honor and pleasure of having Miss Jena Sims, the 2005 Miss Junior National Teenager, appearing at our event. Jena is a super young lady who does an enormous amount of work raising money for the American Cancer Society in addition to a host of other fine activities through her school and community. She will be at the show to help promote the ACS and will help with the awards presentation at the dinner/awards/sock hop.

You can learn more about Jena and see her photos at http://www.nationalteen.com/jrmissteen2005.htm.

Additionally, we will also have the reigning Grits Queen present at our event. The Grits King has indicated a reluctance to show up, but with the proper amount of encouragement may be persuaded to join us.

Don't forget, hotel reservations must be made by May 24th and pre-registration (the only way to get an event t-shirt) ends June 10th!
