2025 Joint Car Club Meet at Fairborn, Ohio ~ June 27-29th, 2025

[jft69z]

We've discussed this briefly in other threads, but we're excited to officially announce the joint car-club meet to be held this year at Fairborn, Ohio with the  Monte Carlo Car Club of North America  (MCCCNA).

The event will be held the week after our Carlisle, PA./GM Nationals mini-meet, and will be June 27th-29th. 

About a year ago, their club President, Callie Anne and I started talking, and she mentioned that her club has an event every year, and being an 'All-Generations' club, they honor a different generation each year. She mentioned that for 2025, they'd be honoring the First Generation Montes. I responded by saying..."I know some people with First Gen's". At that point we started discussing the possibility of working together to get as many of our vehicles together as possible.

Dennis Tretter and I went to her show last year, and couldn't be more impressed with the event, the location, and the attention to detail she put into running the event.

We saw a fair amount of members there that also belong to the FGMCC, and are members of both clubs. Right now, there is already a sizable number of our group that has signed up for this event. Being as this is considered a 'sanctioned' meet, being a dues-paying member of either club will be required. It's not mandatory to join both clubs, but it's not discouraged either. 

The one thing that is a little different than our usual meets, is there will be a $35 registration fee to enter your car. This goes towards such expenses like putting on the show, trophies, hotel fees (such as using their conference rooms, etc), a DJ, and so on. 

There is already a discounted, reserved block of rooms that Callie Ann has secured, and the info will be below. The hotel is currently going thru an ownership change, but if you have already reserved a room, it has carried over and you're good to go (may not be a bad idea to verify down the road though).

The link to the MCCCNA is here, and it explains pretty much all you need to know about the hotel and location:

Something to note, Typically, you'd register your vehicle for the show thru the MCCCNA site, but we have come up with a workaround for those people that are members of our club only. Contact me directly thru forum PM, or email at:   firstgenmc@outlook.com   and I'll get you registered.

SO, set aside the date, make reservations, and come join us for what will be a very memorable event. As more details become available for things to do there, we'll post them here. I do know we're planning to take a little tour of the US Air Force Museum which is right down the road, plus it's free.

I'll be the Mini-Meet Co-Ordinator for our Club, so any ideas, questions, or suggestions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Here is more info related to the Hotel situation:

HOLIDAY INN DAYTON/FAIRBORN I-675 IS NOW BECOMING DOUBLE TREE BY HILTON! If you haven't reserved your room yet for the 2025 Nationals, there is a new phone number and link provided below.

Our host hotel, Holiday Inn Dayton/Fairborn I-675, is in the process of becoming the Double Tree by Hilton Dayton Fairborn. Interior renovations are underway and should be completed by our show date. It's going to be exciting to see the changes at the Nationals in June! The hotel is also in the process of transferring computer systems from Holiday Inn to the Hilton, and they have provided us with a new phone number to call to make room reservations as well as a new link to our room block online (please use our room block code "MCC"): Hilton Reservation Line: (800) 222-8733

All reservations that have already been made have been transferred to the new Hilton computer system and are all set! Please note that the front desk personnel at the hotel itself will not be able to help with reservations should one call the hotel's direct number, as they will not have access to the Hilton system till late March at the earliest. However, should anyone have any difficulties reserving a room, please feel free to call either Gina or Dianna directly at the hotel, and they will be able to process your reservation. Their direct lines are: Gina Moore: (937) 431-4613 Dianna Cordle: (937) 431-4612   If anyone has any questions or should need additional assistance, please also feel free to reach me (Callie Ann) directly at: (866) 753-4489 or by email at: info@montecarlocarclub.com.

Hi Joe, thank you so much for your kind words and well-written, informative post! 🙂 We are so excited to have a joint meet with this club! I have talked to several FGMCC members both over the years and recently, and everyone I have met/talked to have been absolutely kind and wonderful people! 

The MCCCNA Nationals are always a laid-back, fun event where we can hang out with friends, meet new friends, laugh and joke, and just overall have a great time. And of course, share our passion together for these incredible cars. 

If anyone should have any questions, I'll be happy to help! Looking forward to meeting everyone in June!

Kind regards,

Callie Anne

Hi! 

I hope everyone is doing well! We just put out the official 2025 Monte Carlo Nationals joint-meet event/activities flyer and I wanted to share it here as well, so that all those attending or considering attending will know many of the activities that we have planned for the show this June. Thanks! 🙂

If all is well with my Monte after the Carlisle mini-meet, I just might be going to this one also. It will be an all "on the fly"thing for me of course, but I wouldn't have it any other way !!

[Callie Anne]

That would be awesome and sounds like a lot of fun! I would LOVE to get away on a long (and spontaneous) road trip! Hope all works out so we can meet you! 🙂
