2018 Garagemahal Ford Truck Show: Rooms Available

[Gary Lewis]

Guys - You may not remember me, but you do know my website: http://www.garysgaragemahal.com/. In fact, this forum has 33 links to my website, which I welcome.

Anyway, this year's Garagemahal Ford truck show is scheduled for September 15th, which is only 6 months away. (Remember, this is for all years of Ford trucks, not just Bullnose.) And the location is Skiatook, OK.

Given that I've reserved a block of 10 rooms at the Skiatook Osage Casino/Hotel, which is about 2 miles from the show, and that's by far the closest hotel. The rates I got are $119/night as opposed to the standard rate of $159/night. And the nights for this offer are the 14th and 15th of Sept, although you don't have to stay both nights.

Note that there are only 33 rooms at this hotel, so we have 1/3 of the hotel blocked. And, right now there's plenty of availability to get more of the rooms if these fill up. But, since the 15th is also Skiatook's Pioneer Day celebration it is likely that the hotel will soon fill up. And, this offer is only good through the 15th of August, so to get the reduced rate you have to book by then.

Also, all 10 of these rooms have two full-sized beds. That way if any of you want to share a room you can. But, if someone wants a king-sized bed I'll have to give up one of these to get it, so let me know.

Here's the reservation info the hotel sent me:
Guests must make their reservations by calling the Osage Hotel at 1/877-246-8777. When calling please provide the code “BULLNSE” in order to receive the special room rate. Guests may also make reservations at http://www.osagecasinos.com/hotels by selecting the “Book Hotel Today” button and proceeding to the Skiatook property page. Please place the code “BULLNSE” as the Special Offer Code and select the arrival and departure dates. A valid credit card is required for all reservations. No cancellations or name changes less than twenty-four (24) hours prior to arrival. Any cancellation received less than twenty-four (24) hours prior to arrival or no-shows will be charged one (1) night room charge plus tax as penalty. Please be aware that anyone checking into a room must be at least 18 years of age. A complimentary breakfast is in included in the hotel breakfast nook for each registered guest. The breakfast is available from 6am-10am. Check-in is at 4pm and checkout time is at 11am.

I've created a folder to keep track of everything that is happening with regard to the show. It is at http://forum.garysgaragemahal.com/2018- ... f8328.html, and under that are threads on Vendors, Participants, and Rooms Available, and there will be more threads on things like advertising, prizes, etc. Those will give you a better understanding of how this appears to be growing.

For instance, the vendor thread shows that Tim Meyer is going to be there with engine parts to show.  And the participants thread shows individuals from Australia, New Zealand, and Canada have already committed to being there.

Please take a look and give me suggestions as they come to you. And, if you are planning on coming please let me know so I'll have an idea of how big things are getting and how best to manage it. But, I realize that "life happens", so saying you plan to come isn't a cast-in-stone commitment. It just helps me plan.

We are essentially 3 months from the Garagemahal Ford Truck Show on Sept 15th. I enjoyed meeting many of y'all yesterday at the Fordification show in Anderson, and hope you'll consider coming to the Tulsa area to show your truck(s). It really isn't that far, and surely you'll get better than the 11 MPG I got yesterday.
