I am pleased to report that the contract has been signed for the ACES Northern Regional Chevelle Show. Next years Show will once again be held at the Strongsville Holiday Inn. Our show date is locked in for August 2nd and 3rd of 2013. I would like to thank Joe Desmont for negotiating the contract this year. We did consider another location but in the end the Holiday Inn won the contract. The membership chose a Margaretville Theme through a popular vote. About 50% of the vote was for the Margaretville theme which corresponded nicely with a vote we held for Facebook fans of the NOCC club. It’s never too early to start talking with sponsors so we will be putting together some prices ASAP. I very excited to help organize the show again. So dig out your flip flops but don't step on a pop top, it’s time to start thinking about coming to the best Chevelle Show in the Nation. We will come up with a registration form in early December.

Sign me up too. And send me the sponsor information as soon as you get it.

I will say it again, for anyone who has never been to this show. It is a BLAST !!!

That would be about 2500 miles for me to come. I'm strongly going to consider it. But the Chevelle will be coming on a trailer.

Ray....it is so worth it. I have been to 3 Chevellabrations, and this show is so much more fun ! The show is in the parking lot of the Holiday Inn, so if you are too hot, just go inside the Hotel and take a swim. Thursday night, before the show, the club sets up and gather around and drink and have a good time in the parking lot. Friday night, they go for a ride thru the park, the parade of cars is awesome. Then the "drive-in" movie Friday night. Don't even get me started on how much fun the award show is on Saturday. It is a great weekend.

Ray ,you really need to go at least once , early this year when I thought I wasnt going to be able to go I was so sick of the thought of missing the best regional show of the year .I wound up not going to many shows this year but I made Chevellabration and Ohio and that was my 2 favorite ones . The only show I ever attended that was as much fun was the Oregon Regional that we were so fortunate to meet you and the others from there that we only knew from the keyboards .Ya'll put on a heck of a good show for us that year and we browse through the album quite frequently .

Ms Grumpy

I think that you had the right one Ray. Don't book any rooms until the NOCC comes out with the "room code". That way you can get in on the discounted room rates. Oh yeah, one of the things that I didn't mention was usually after the Friday night cruise, they feed you dinner too. It is usually Pizza or subs, but it is nice to have that included with your weekend.

This Holiday Inn is within 15 minutes of the CLE airport and the hotel does have an airport shuttle van.
I've used the 24hr shuttle van a few times over the past few years. :cool:

Ms Grumpy
03-20-2013, 06:22 PM
Not sure Ray, but I know that there is an airport fairly close because there is always pilots and flight attendants who are staying at the hotel.

I am pretty sure that the Strongsville Holiday Inn is considered the Airport Holiday Inn for the Cleveland Airport.

BillsCamino
03-20-2013, 07:31 PM
It is...and that hotel provides an airport shuttle to CLE.


http://www.ihg.com/holidayinn/hotels/gb/en/strongsville/clesv/hoteldetail

Distance: 8.0 MI/12.87 KM SOUTH WEST to Hotel
Complimentary Shuttle Available
Start out going W towards Park Rd. Turn L onto Park Rd. Turn L onto Five Points Rd. Stay straight to go onto Snow Rd/Five Points Rd. Merge onto I71 S toward Columbus. Merge onto Royalton Rd/OH82 E via Exit 231A.
Arrive at 15471 Royalton Rd on the R.

Didn't I answer this question already??? Deju vu....
My wife always flies into Cleveland on the Friday of this show and takes the shuttle over to the hotel.
I usually get there at some point on Thursday....trailering a car.

Ms Grumpy
03-23-2013, 10:56 PM
Just found out some good news for me. And may also put a smile on flash and his Mrs face. Tonight I asked my brother Eric if he would be the driver of my Van to the NOCC show.....and he said yes.

For those of you who don't know about my brother, he is the one who did most of the build on my car. He is the nicest guy and is the best brother anyone could have. Eric and I have always been close and he is the kind of guy who is always willing to help others out and it feels really good for us to be able to give him a weekend away to enjoy some beautiful cars and wonderful people.

Good thing I booked three rooms. lol

I am just hoping to get a good spot like we have had in the past few years. Heck, with all the cars coming, there won't be a bad spot.

So how many more spots do you anticipate you have Mark ? What about the banquet, have you sold that out yet ?

05-22-2013, 07:20 AM
Sorry for the late reply - I had to reset my password for this site....

We are currently have hit the halfway point for filling the parking lot.

We have 100 sold and 100 spots left. This is way ahead of last years pace with 2 1/2 months before the show so thats why I am encouraging people to sign up early.

I just got a report from the hotel showing 121 rooms booked so I know a few people have not sent in their registration but have booked the hotel.

We have 173 Banquet tickets, the room can hold 377.

FYI We have changed to the "Top 50" instead of top 40. These are voted on by the participants. We also have over a dozen special awards picked by the sponsor of the award. We cordinate our picks so each entry only recieves one award. In fact, some awards have nothing to do with your Chevelle....just ask Jim Brady who fell asleep in the bushes last year and received the Holiday Inn Sleeper award. We like to spread the wealth. We also give away a lot of prizes based on a raffle ticket. This is not Super Chevy or MCACN - our awards are a mix of quality evaluations and fun, and the methods for picking winners can change on the fly. I'll give you guys the inside scoop.... The guys that help you park on the show field (Bryan & Craig) are the ones who cordinate and help choose the winners, so make sure you are nice to them!!

Meldrum Show Engineer Award - Best Engineered
Bruce Bender Memorial Award - Best Convertible
Bone Creeper - Hard Luck Award
Holiday Inn - Sleeper Award
Strongsville Police - Most Likely to Evade
Peoples Choice
Young Guns (under 30) 1st Place,2nd, 3rd Place Jeff and Tracie Paulin
Best Mailbu - Dave Hambilton
Best Chevelle - Flaming River
Best El Camino - Lorkowski Family
Best of Show - Don Sitts

PS - Our members are not elgible for these awards. They will be competing for a "Top 10" picked by Ken Smith - The award is called Kenny's Sweet Tea Top 10.

Ms Grumpy
06-14-2013, 08:02 PM
Mark, one of the reasons that I love your show is the fact that you do spread the wealth. I know many of the cars at the show are pristine, and at other shows they would win multiple awards. But at your show, everyone has a chance to walk away with an award.

There are so many people who have put their heart and soul into their car and it is beautiful. There are many stories behind the cars and builds that make the car more beautiful. And the NOCC makes sure that these people know that other people see it. Your show is one show that every Chevelle owner should attend at least once. And who knows, they might just walk away with an award, which by the way are really cool looking.

BillsCamino
06-14-2013, 09:29 PM

My award graciously presented at last years show...kept me warm during St. Patty's weekend in Dublin.

I talked to my brother Eric yesterday, he is going to drive my van to the show cause it is too hard on grumpy. My brother is all set and excited to see all the Chevelles and to see John and Joan again.

*****SHOW INFORMATION*****
We have 190 registered for the show. Its going to be tight this year so dont blow a head gasket.

Guys with trailers...(about 75 of you) this is the plan...
This will be on a first come first serve basis....

1. 25+ will be parked in the Holiday Inn Parking Lot
2. 30+ will be parked in the Ice Rink next to the Holiday Inn - We would like all open trailers in this parking lot because of the layout.
3. The overflow will be parked at the South Park Mall which is 1/2 mile west of the Holiday Inn. The facilities engineering manager at the mall is a club member so he will make sure that the mall security keeps an eye on your trailer. We will give you a diagram on where to park.

Please bring a block of wood for your toungue jack to protect the ground.

Remember.... None of us get paid to run this show and all proceeds go towards running the show next year and charities. So....Please keep your wining to a minimum when we tell you where to park your Chevelle and Trailer.
