2022 Eastern National Meet
WE CAN DO...IN ‘22!
JUNE 1 - JUNE 5, 2022
By President Danny Driskell, RG #97, Nashville, TN
Our 2022 Eastern National Meet in Nashville, Tennessee (actually in historic Franklin, Tennessee, just a few miles south of Nashville, on I-65) will be held June 1- June 5th. While we can’t provide all of these attractions on our meet schedule (the Opry is slated for Friday night), we encourage you to come early, spend the week here, and enjoy some of these great sites.
Some of you may remember that Nashville was the site in 1995, of a very successful national V-8 meet and we are happy to let you know the Volunteer V-8 Ford Club has agreed to host the first post-pandemic meet back in Tennessee!
As you may well know, the Nashville and Middle Tennessee area is noted for many diverse attractions. In addition to being Music City USA (the Grand Ole Opry, Ryman Auditorium, Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge, the Bluegrass Inn and many other honkytonks), there are also wineries, distilleries (Jack Daniels, George Dickel), the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Parthenon in Centennial Park, the Lane Motor Museum and Marathon Village, home of TV’s American Pickers Nashville store, and many more.
The host hotel is the Marriott at Cool Springs, a beautiful venue and more than capable of hosting a meet. Cool Springs is one of the largest shopping areas in Tennessee and has more diverse stores and restaurants than many cities.
Preparations are being made now and with the help and assistance of the Early Ford V-8 Club, we feel confident in saying that you can look forward to an exciting and fun filled week.
Mark the first week of June 2022 on your calendar and make plans to attend. Help us prove that “We can do...in 22!”
