New Lower Hotel Rates for CKG Show Goers!

Friday, March 7th, 2008

Our new CKG hotel rate has been reduced from $110.00 to $95.00.
The hotel had been informed that some of our members were booking their rooms under the internet rate of $95.00, therefore we would not get credit for them and not get our required 20 rooms booked each night.
They gladly made the change to accommodate us.
