Location: NJ | for those of you driving here are directions to the Ovation/Hamer factory
Directions to New Hartford, CT and the Ovation/Hamer Factory
From NJ and south:
From the Tappan Zee bridge, take the Sawmill Parkway exit from 287 (second exit past the toll booths) north, this merges with I-684 north. Take I-84 East through Danbury to CT Rt. 8 north. Follow Rt.8 to the first traffic light (CT Rt. 44) and turn left. Go approx. 6 miles into the town of New Hartford, the second traffic light is Rt. 219, turn left over the bridge, then take the first left onto Greenwoods Rd. The factory is the large red brick building at the end.
From NYC:
Take the New England Expressway (I-95) to Bridgeport, CT, turn north on CT Rt. 8, then follow the above directions
From Albany and north:
From I-90, take the Masspike to the Lee exit, turn left onto MA Rt. 20. Follow Rt. 20 to the intersection of Rt. 8 south. Follow Rt. 8 through Winsted, CT, then follow CT Rt. 44 as above.
From Boston and east:
Take the Masspike to the I-291 exit (Springfield) south to I-91 south. Take the CT Rt. 20 exit (Bradley Airport) west. Follow Rt. 20 past the airport, through Granby, CT, until you happen upon CT Rt. 219 to the left. Follow Rt. 219 until you come to a green bridge. Exactly one mile past this bridge, there will be a firehouse on the right. This is Greenwoods Rd. The factory is at the end of the street.
From Hartford:
Take Rt. 44 (Albany Ave.) out past Avon Mountain, through Avon and Canton, you will come into New Hartford. The second traffic light is Rt. 219, turn right, then the first left is Greenwoods Rd.
Directions to the Hotel:
From NJ and south:
Follow the directions above, but rather than turning on Rt. 8, follow I-84 into Hartford, taking I-91 north. Take the Rt. 20 (Bradley Airport) exit, follow Rt. 20 to the Rt. 75 exit. Turn right at the offramp, and the hotel is on your right.
From Albany and north:

Location: NJ | A good friend of mine up in "Bahston" (KarmannGhia) just informed me that his plan for a local relative to put him up might not work out.
I just e-mailed him the phone #'s for the hotel.
Is it too late to get the group rate? |

Any plans for Thursday night? Are we hanging at the hotel bar (if there is one)? Are we all on one floor? Will the hotel survive a bunch of boys with guitars?
