When making reservations mention: Maverick Comet Group

Note: It was brought to my attention by Ruth that some people choose to use a debit card vs. a credit card to hold their reservation. You should ask before doing this, as I was told that some hotels place a hold on the funds in the interim if you decide to use a debit card.

The manager at the hotel is really great to work with! When I asked for a meeting room for one night, she offered a large main floor meeting room for the entire event week, day & night. We are OK to keep food, coolers, or whatever in there.

She is also on the Dyersville Chamber of Commerce and wants to help set up some type of special deal for us when we cruise to the Field of Dreams.

I made a couple of additions to the hotel info. The local number is the best one to use, rather than the toll-free corporate one. Also, see the note about using a debit card.

Make your reservations now. It's 2013 and July is just around the corner! :clap:

Thanks for the reminder Jack. I seriously need to get busy - at least with the stuff I already have on hand.
