**SAVE THE DATE**
It’s time for our annual PCA after-holiday party. Details for registration and payment will be posted soon, but please make sure to mark your calendars for Saturday,Marth 8th, 4PM-8PM. The party will be at the Wichita Boathouse and will include a social hour, delicious meal, and our annual charity raffles.
Our annual PCA party is a always a great evening with plenty of fellowship, laughs, and great raffle items for you to bid on. Come on out and celebrate with the great people from our club as we send out last year and gear up for another great season of driving and PCA events.
We’d also like to have a presentation running in the background showing our members and their rides, so send us your best photos! You can send them to me via Facebook or email at jriley@ingenuit.tech.
Our annual party is our best attended event of the year and always a great evening, so you don’t want to miss it. Hope to see you all there!
We have partnered with our friends from the Kansas City Region for a joint event on Saturday, April 5th. We will start our day at the Kansas Motor Speedway for Cars and Coffee. This should be a special and unique setting for a C&C event, and I suspect we’ll see some amazing machines.
Immediately following C&C, we’ll join up with the rest of the KCPCA region for their club drive to Weston, MO, where we’ll stop for lunch at the Riverwood Winery, enjoy a glass of wine, and get to know some of the folks from KC.
Following lunch, our own John Stauth will be leading us on an afternoon drive to Excelsior Springs, MO (we hope some of our KC friends will be able to join us). Excelsior Springs will be our final destination for the day where we’ll eat, drink, and be merry at the Elms Hotel and Spa, and enjoy the charm the town has to offer.
Saturday will be an early start (8AM start for C&C) and a full day. We have reserved a block of rooms for Friday night at the Country Inn & Suites next to the speedway. This should make it easier for us all to get to C&C in the morning. They are currently holding a block of 10 rooms for us – if we exceed that number, we’ll have the option of adding some additional rooms, and there are plenty of accommodations in that area if we have some overflow.
Some of our folks may need to head back after lunch, but for those who plan to continue on to Excelsior Springs that afternoon, I’d recommend you consider staying overnight after our long day. The Elms Hotel, where our dinner/social event will be held Saturday evening, looks like a great place to stay, but there are also more affordable options in the area.
If this sounds like a great weekend to you, here’s what you’ll need todo to get in:
- Register for the Weston drive so that our friends in KC can plan leads/sweeps and lunch accordingly. This is very important for ensuring their drive goes off without a hitch – we don’t want to be their bottleneck. Please register here by 4/1: https://kcrpca.org/event/driving-tour-to-weston/

Big thanks to our KC friends for hosting us – they’ve been very welcoming and are excited to share some time with us. This should be a great weekend getaway to start the spring, and it will also help us gauge future interest in more destination drives like this one. Hope to see you all there!
