  • Missouri Route 66 Tour October 20, 2019 to October 26, 2019 All Registrations Must Be Received 30 Days Prior to Start Date
    Missouri Route 66 Tour October 20, 2019 to October 26, 2019 All registrations must be received 30 days prior to start date. === Dear VCCA Member: Attached is the Registration form and basic information regarding the tour. The tour is limited to the first 25 who register. Registration is not complete until payment is made. The registration fee covers only the three meals provided and NO museums and attractions which have admission fees are included, and you will have to pay at the door. Several locations have provided a discount so be sure to ask for the VCCA rate. I hope the registration is self- explanatory, but if you have questions, please let me know. The speed limit for almost all of the tour is 55 miles an hour with very little Interstate travel. Please indicate if you need trailer parking so I can help arrange that if you want. At the welcoming dinner, there will be tons of stuff provided by the Missouri Division of Tourism about Route 66 and things to do in Missouri. If you want to do some planning before the tour, contact www.visit mo.com or call 1 800 334-6946 and they should get you to the right people or place. I will be happy to help get you the information you want. The tour provides a number of suggestions for one to do on his/her own. If you will indicate what interests you in these options, I will try to organize a group that share the same interest. For example, in Springfield, Cindy and I will probably do Museum on the Square and then Grizzley and the Botanical Garden.
