The dates above were from 2015.

I hate that I am going to miss the Texas VW Classic this year. I am a Chairman for the Valero Texas Open and last year the tournament was after the Classic. The tournament has been moved to incorporate Fiesta, here in San Antonio. I wish everyone a very happy and fun time. I will be thinking of y'all and wishing I was with you.

So who is "planning" to go to the Classic? I know it's a ways off and anything can change, but just curious, besides it sure has been quiet around here for a long time.
We are planning to go, but I just did a quick look at a couple hotels (La Quinta, Best Western, Hampton Inn, Holiday Inn) and I got "NO ROOMS AVAILABLE"!

There are tons of B&B's available. Little more expensive but a better sort of place to stay. Get one just off of main street and you can walk to the shops in between the cruising! Not sure I'm going as the MOTO GP is the weekend before so the schedule is getting full.

Good point Brain. You're right, there does seem to be availability in the B&B lodging. Unfortunately for us, they require 2 night minimum.
We actually found a room at the Comfort Inn. Just had to look a little more. Even there, according to their website, they only had a coupe rooms left.

I found this list of B&B services with website links, that I thought someone may like.

Man, I hate to point this out, but Ken called BrianB "Brain" a little earlier in this post, so I guess he'll be buying him a beer pretty soon.

We will be there and are counting the days. Looking forward to seeing everyone that can make it that we met for the first time at the Schulenburg Round Up. This will be our first time at the Fredericksburg Show. Luckly my Parents own property in Kerville and we are able to stay there.

Well, so far at least Friday & Saturday are looking good. The new Saturday forecast took a better turn since yesterday.

So, we'll sure miss the campers. :(

I got to Richard's house this morning and after a last check of the weather we have decided to pull the plug on the Classic
So I'm staying here for a few days and we will be doing some Sequin Classic cruising.

Grab a motel in Seguin and join us.

Haven't been on in a while... We have a spot at Oakwood also. I will be bringing the "new" buggy and hopefully it'll make it back under its own power this time. I tried to attach a picture of it but I don't know how to resize it.

Christy and I canceled our hotel reservation as well. :(

We are looking into catching up with the Seguin crew on Saturday especially since Richard is supplying the beer and wine! I hope he has some some pear wine in stock!
