2012  SPUD RUN   ANNOUNCEMENT

 

Early arrivals Thursday May 24th   Planned arrival Friday May 25th,  Sat May 26th BBQ, Departure Sunday May 27th,  Late Departure Mon May 28th.

After several years at the Rodeway Inn we decided to make a change.  No vacancies, deteriorating facilities for socialization and your recommendations lead me to discuss this with the founders of the Spud Run and the vote was to move.  For those attending the recent WCC Convention in Boise, ID, you could see that the choice of the Doubletree was easy, nice rooms, large lobby to socialize (with bar and restaurant facilities, competitive prices, several nice restaurants in walking distance, etc).   A very pleasant venue.   Karl Hutchinson your unofficial coordinator of the very informal and unofficial SPUD RUN.  

(Note that for Blue Knights Special Fund purposes this function is sanctioned by the WCC)

ROOMS:   Be specific on your room requests, they do have limited rooms overlooking the parking lots with patio doors.  Also, it is a large hotel so if you want rooms close to the lobby area, be specific.    I did not negotiate Suite room rates, if that is a need, contact Danny Eddy at Sales  deddy@doubletreeboise.com
