CLC Grand National 2024 Gettysburg, PA
The 2024 Grand National, which was held in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania was well-attended with nearly 300 cars on the show field. Unlike previous years, this GN began on Monday, with Friday reserved for judging. Kudos to the organizers, especially Meets and Tours VP Dave Rubin for putting on a excellent GN. Highlights included the Welcome Reception, a Cars-Under-the-Stars Party, and lots of great tours. The historical significance of Gettysburg was showcased during the driving-tour day of the week, with a visit to the Antietam battlefield. A jog through three covered bridges was also a big hit.

2023 Grand National Albuquerque New Mexico
June 21–25 CLC’s Grand National in Albuquerque was, by all metrics, a roaring success. Members hoping to experience the charms of this Southwest state and savor its flavors were not disappointed. The week kicked off with a picturesque drive to nearby Santa Fe, and a lunch at a favorite local Mexican (of course) restaurant. Many places of interest were in walking distance from the restaurant, including wineries, art galleries, and the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum. Our Southwest style Welcome Buffet was served without a hitch, and we were treated to a performance of talented Mexican musicians and dancers. The fun continued throughout the week with well-planned and interesting tours. Those who wanted to beat the heat, found cool breezes after a tram ride to the top of Sandia Peak.
Many thanks to Marsha Redman and NM hosts Tom and Nick whose hard work made the event a fun experience for all.
