Hotel info:
Omni Richmond Hotel

(888) 444-OMNI Reservations
(804) 344-7000 Hotel Direct

$105.99 Rooms—Ask for the WINTER CHILL-OUT BOATER PARTY rate.
60+ rooms blocked for Saturday night
12 rooms blocked for Friday night
(I could not get the rooms any cheaper.)

The hotel has a garage which may/may not fit some of our trucks.
They also have a surface lot adjacent to the hotel.
The hotel has an indoor heated swimming pool, so bring your swimsuits.






For some of you, this will be a haul, but this will be ABSOLUTELY worth the effort. This party planning gets very sticky, and especially so with such a widespread crowd.

Remember, I am not doing this for a profit.

Any leftover cash will be used to defer the costs of any more food, and anything above that will be donated to a fitting charity. Please don't complain about the cover charge. This is not a lot of money for what you are getting. There will be giveaways/door prizes and other incentives, (see below).

I will personally cover up to $100 in drinks for the 3 farthest traveled OSO members. The distance traveled will be verified via driving mileage as calculated by www.yahoo.com website from your home address to the address of the Richbrau listed above.

Richmond International Airport is only 15 minutes away; serviced by www.jetblue.com and most major carriers.

Norfolk International Airport is less than 60 minutes away; serviced by www.southwest.com and most major carriers.
