October 26-28, 2007:
The Smoky Mountain Heartland and Mid-South Chapters invite one and all to the 18th Annual Hudsons In The Heartland multi-chapter meet. By popular demand, the meet will again be held in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains; action packed Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Our host motel is the Vacation Lodge, located on US Hwy. 441 at Traffic Light #7. H-E-T’ers will receive special group rates of $60 for single Queen, $70 for double Double and $75 for double Queen. Upgraded rooms are available at an additional cost. The entire Lodge has been blocked for the H-E-T Club. All reservations must be made by October 1 in order to guarantee the group rate. Rooms not reserved by that date will be released to the public. To make reservations, call 1-800-468-1998 (865-453-2640, In Tennessee), ask for Kathy, and specify you are with the Hudson Club (a one night deposit is required). There will be a Hospitality Suite, Swap Meet area in back, the fabulous Low Country Boil on Friday evening, with Banquet nearby on Saturday. Door Prize drawings and a 50/50 Raffle will be held, as well as Awards for the Oldest H-E-T and Longest Distance Driven. The Sevierville/Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area offers a variety of shopping, dining, shows and attractions sure to please everyone. You can walk, drive, or catch the Pigeon Forge Trolley, which stops in front of the Lodge. There's so much to see and do, we encourage you to come early and stay late.

I know, I know. It's a shameful bump, but I don't want anyone to miss this meet. See ya there

Just talked to Cathy at the Vacation Lodge...1-800-468-1998 (or 1-865-453-1998 in TN) She said they have a few smoking rooms left, and a couple of the upgrade rooms in the tower above the garage area. If you want they will do a super clean and try to eliminate the smoking odor but as we all know that is a hit or miss proposition...
If you need Non-smoking rooms, I recommend the Mountain Breeze Motel...1-888-453-2659....state that you are with the Hudson club or the HET Club. the Mountain Breeze is about a half mile North of the Vacation Lodge on the same side of the Parkway. It was used for overflow last year and I didn't hear of anyone being dissatisfied with the rooms.
Either way, check with the Vacation Lodge first. You never know when they might have a cancellation.
There are literally a hundred choices of which motel/hotel to use in Pigeon Forge and you are welcome to use whichever you want. The main thing is to be there. Join us for the fun and fellowship that the HUDSON Club is known for!

Bob you shamless huckster BTW don't you have a video telling how to judge motels from a #5 dump to a #1 top of the line palace?

I sure do! and for only a $3999.95 Non-refundable deposit, I will send you a copy, on 8mm or Beta cassette only. Contingent on you living within 30 feet of the host motel!!!!LOL
Seriously, When it comes to this meet I admit I am shameless.
Since I missed the National, this is my "Big" meet for the year, and I want it to be the biggest it can! Every year I make new friends and get to catch up on what's happening with old friends. Not to mention I get to see some of the finest examples of HUDSON cars anywhere.
I think we have found a site with plenty of things to do, a motel that has done everything they can to make us feel welcome, and is within a 1 or 2 day drive of one half the population of the country. All the while trying to keep it as inexpensive as possible.
Yeah I am Shameless.
