Labor Day Biltmore Bash is a go.
OK, Here we go...
First, Go to the Biltmore House website for your offical planner.
The planner is free and gives details on everything Biltmore offers there
including, lodging, packages, attractions and more!!!
I got mine yesterday and I could not lay it down! It's that good, really.
Rough outline of events...
DATES: Fri. Sep. 1st thru Sun. Sep 3rd.
Friday Night: at Pisgah Inn (25 miles south of Asheville), meet and greet and Dinner.
Saturday: free time at Bilmore house, Bean Run, Mod time at
the local Chevy dealership, maybe he will have a BBQ or potluck dinner
for us there also. Later, Asheville Cruising time.
Sunday: Rise and shine, prep for Photo shoot at the Biltmore House
and Car show Judging, More free time for the Biltmore House, Lunch
at the Biltmore Bistro, then the Raffle, Door Prizes and awards.
As actual events become locked in, I will post more detailed info.
COSTS: Lodging is on your own, see the planning guide
mentioned above.
FOOD: If we get a sponsorship, Sat Dinner may be provided,
otherwise, all food is on your own.
Raffle tickets: $5.00 each. I am trying to get some huge HHR items for this.
There will be a charge for an event packet,
which will cover gate costs for the photo shoot, one raffle ticket,
an event placard for your mirror, and a full detailed information
kit with event explanations, guidelines and any neccesary rules, etc.

Awesome!
Going to have to do some real work and make a grand appearance that weekend. Any idea on the cost for the event packet? Will you be in charge of accepting payment for the packets and also purchase of addition raffle tickets?

Dan'l, After talking to you on the phone. My wife and I decided to make that our end of summer vacation. So count me in and what ever I can do to help, let me know. Good talking to you and it looks like a lot of fun ahead.

Airborne: Event Packet will be around 25 or 30 bucks, per car. 
Extra raffle tickets and money will be thru me, I guess.
Unless someone else wants to be the money changer!

Dan....
Wife and I are planning to be there...probably drive over on Saturday (....early...)
a couple of questions:
Does "gate pass" include admission to the Estate??
Where were you planning on Sunday's events taking place?
thanks - Gary

No sorry, The "gate pass" mentioned is only for access for the photo shoot.
When you get your planning guide, you will find lodging info about package
deals with House access passes, that are good for the length of your stay.
For instance the Quality Inn South has a 2 night package with house access.
It is very good deal, but you should book early.
As we said, Labor Day is a very busy time for the area!
Sunday afternoon events will most likely take place in the Biltmore's Parking lot.
That way folks can back into the house, or whatever, as they wish.
Complete details will be in the event packet, of course.

As of today, the "Event Packet" is not ready yet.
We still have a few details to work out and lock down.
When ready, I may have it available online or it can be mailed, etc...
This entire project is still forming and we are really just getting started,
so PLEASE have patience while we get it ALL together.

Dan, Have you or anyone else ever stayed at the Pisgah? Any other suggestions on motel or lodging that is 3star and up for less than a $1oo.00 a night?

Holmes, I have not stayed there, but some others recomend it.
I suggest that you get the Biltmore planner and get your lodging from there.
Sandy and I are most likely going to stay at the Quality Inn south.
Again, they have a package that is very reasonable with Biltmore
passes included.
To get the planning guide, Click here http://www3.ntarget.com/clients/biltmore/new_nt.htm
If you need help, just call me, You still have my number right? Or I can call you if you like.

I have no recommendations on lodging as I was there quite a few years ago.
The Biltmore, OTOH, is well worth everyone's trip.
