Thanks for the welcome, neelyrc. I've been away from the forum since mid-September, but will happily post pix and, of course, there is a story of the hunt.

Frank,

How is the planning going the Pagodafest front. Any dates known at this point.

For those travelling from a long way afar, to get frequent flyer seats bookings often are needed well in advance. In my case Qantas has opened its bookings after it all being shut off for nearly twenty months of lockdown.

Hi Garry,

Will you be traveling alone or with Kate? Should you be traveling alone I would br happy to pick you up at the airport and take you back there after the event in case you like to rent a car and spend some more time in the area. Let me know.

Dieter

Garry · « **Reply #35 on:** November 13, 2021, 00:55:24 »

Rolf Dieter,

Thanks for the kind offer but Kate is suggesting that after the event we drive the east coast and southern loop back to LA for a month or two. With Covid now in the mix she doesn’t want me there on my own.

I will not be bringing my Pagoda this time as its too late already to arrange without a known date. Export and import certificates takes 3-4 months, prep of the vehicle will be one or more months and shipping at best will be 3 months.

Thats also the problem with Qantas FF that by Xmas it will be too late to get a seat or two if i dont book soon as they only allocate limited seats to FF and they open nine months before and are soon gone.

A formal announcement for PagodaFest 2022 will be coming in January. What I can tell you all is that the dates will be October 7-9, 2022 at the Oak Brook Hyatt just 30 minutes west of downtown Chicago.

Garry · « **Reply #37 on:** November 14, 2021, 07:25:19 »

Thanks Franks for dates, gives me something to work to at least for airfare bookings which is the critical one.

Garry

doitwright · « **Reply #38 on:** November 14, 2021, 16:48:37 »

I just corrected the dates in the original 1st post on the topic and my previous recent comment. The correct dates are October 7-9, 2022.

I doubt I would be able to attend unless we have a late fall and who could predict that right now? We start soy bean harvest the first part of October and that always comes first. Maybe next time.

Hello
Can we defiantly confirm that event is defiantly going ahead on these dates still 7th Oct too 9th Oct and mentioned hotel ?
Thanks

Rolf-Dieter ✝︎ · « **Reply #41 on:** March 14, 2022, 13:43:24 »

I will NOT be attending, if you have a list, please take me off-

Garry · « **Reply #42 on:** March 14, 2022, 20:51:18 »

Rolf Dieter,
Heard that it is called off for 2022?

Garry

Drewtee · « **Reply #43 on:** March 20, 2022, 20:03:04 »

Hiya Garry

Where did you hear it is not going ahead?

I suppose I should cancel my room then

Garry · « **Reply #44 on:** March 20, 2022, 21:26:23 »

Hi Andy,

Sorry, may have been a bit misleading but was asking it as a question. As there has been absolutely no further comments since the end of last year and given these things take a lot of organisation i am surprised that it is all silent on that front. Was hoping he might have known.

Drewtee · « **Reply #45 on:** March 20, 2022, 21:57:33 »

Gotcha- Yep hopefully we'll hear something pretty soon.

Floridaenglish · « **Reply #46 on:** March 22, 2022, 02:58:05 »

I'm planning on attending PagodaFest this year. Anxious to gain information on ticket sales.

mmizesko · « **Reply #47 on:** March 27, 2022, 16:02:13 »

Folks,

I know everyone is excited to have a Pagodafest later this year, but given the recent uncertainty with the Pandemic, and the additional planning that needs to occur, we have decided to delay the event until the same rough time frame in 2023. The awesome Venue has been reserved and we are putting a larger team together to bolster the fine advance work that Frank has already done in planning the event. This will give us time to put together the websites, and attract sponsors.

Given that the Euro '23 event has not materialized that I am aware of, I think we can draw more members from across the pond as well. Anyone who would like to participate in the planning committee can send me a Private Message. Much of our discussion can be handled via Zoom.

This should be an affair to remember.

Thanks,

Mike Mizesko
President

what pandemic?

jeblack123 · « **Reply #49 on:** March 28, 2022, 17:49:27 »

Reservations at the hotel appear to be non-refundable. Anyone else running into this issue?
