MP_the4pack Posted February 26, 2022 Author Share Posted February 26, 2022 Hope to see you! I went back to the Eisenhower. I found the Quality Inn noisy last year. Lots of motorcycles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phall Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I will be there! I'm staying at the Aspire since I will be going, once again, dogless. (Sox, being nervous and a bit fearful, would hate it. Lucas, being blind, would not handle the different environment well). I will definitely need to get my greyhound fix from those of you bringing your greyhounds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zimsmom Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I believe its the week of school vacation. Too many other people off work so will have to miss this year. But really enjoyed this in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alice Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Has anyone stayed at the Eisenhower Hotel? I just booked a room for GIG and am having second thoughts after reading the reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
45MPHK9 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 We hated the Eisenhower. We stayed once and never went back. We prefer to stay downtown. You can walk to restaurants and bars and leave your car at your hotel. There’s nothing out by the Eisenhower once the vendors close.

phall Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I've stayed at the Eisenhower and now always stay at the Aspire (right next to the Eisenhower - they are connected by a enclosed walkway - I stay at the Aspire now because I don't bring my dogs). I always like staying there because it's right there within walking of the GIG events. Plus other activities happen after the vendors close - the bonfire in the evening, the party on Friday night, etc. The Eisenhower has gone through a lot of changes and there were issues during the major renovation times, but I think of it as a good basic hotel. Not the fanciest, but the location seals it for me. Another plus is if you have your dogs with you and they get tired out, it's easy to bring them to the room to rest for a little while before heading back to the events, or, if your dogs are good being alone in the room, you can leave them there to rest and go to the activities without them for a short time - you can easily go back and forth to the events, or to check on them with a 5 minute walk. Friends of mine really prefer staying in town close to all the town sights and activities. So it really comes down to your preference. My time at GIG is really dedicated to the greyhound things and don't really do a lot of other Gettysburg things (except for lunches in town and occasionally dinner) but if you are someone who will want to do lots of Gettysburg "stuff", see the town, etc. staying in town might be your preference. Good luck - no matter where you stay, you'll have a blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_the4pack Posted March 18, 2022 Author Share Posted March 18, 2022 I really don't like the Eisenhower, but am an extremely light sleeper. I found staying in town too noisy. So I bit the bullet and am staying at the Eisenhower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greytpups Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Sadly, we won’t be going this year. We have a wedding (happy about this though) and it’s the same weekend. We used to go to so many greyhound events each year, and now I think it’s been about 3 years since we attended one. Dewey may be a possibility this year, so I’m hoping vendors will still be at Dewey. I really miss seeing everyone. By the time I get to an event, I wonder if anyone will even remember me Quote Jan with precious pups Emmy (Stormin J Flag) and Simon (Nitro Si) and Abbey Field.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alice Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Thanks so much for the input on the Eisenhower. I made a reservation at the Quality inn on York Road where I normally stay first. Then I decided to see if anything was available at the Eisenhower. I like the nearness to everything happening at the event. I think I saw a bar and restaurant in the pictures. Does anyone know if they have beverage and food service there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macoduck Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) https://eisenhower.com/dining Not your typical full service bar or cafe but it will save you a trip into town. Again this year staffing seems to be limited. Took me several hours to get someone to answer the phone at registration.

cleptogrey Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Greetings to all from Joe and I at BUSHMANSTUDIO. We will NOT be vending this show. The last of our GH/sighthound antiques/jewelry are listed on RUBY LANE, BUSHMANSTUDIO. We just weren't sure of travel plans and will be participating in some antique shows. Our hunt for GH items is getting more and more difficult, shall I say nearly impossible! Joe is still doing commissions/paintings if anyone is thinking of one. Have a beer(or 3) lots of fun for me!
