sledjunk Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 The Novi show is coming up in a couple of weeks. Is anyone going (besides our group)? Let me know if and when and we can try to meet up for a chat. We will be driving to Novi on Friday, Nov 3 and attending the show on Saturday, returning home on Sunday. This has become an annual ritual for us, and is another way to get stoked for the upcoming season. For those who have never been, this show is about the size of the Toronto Show, but is primarily a 'selling' show, with lots of vendors of all brands of sleds and even some of the large US clothing suppliers like Upnorth Sports. Lots of deals on previous season clothing from the manufacturers. The web page does not really give much information, but here is the link Hope to see some members there.

Old Sledder Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I am thinking of going, is it best to plan an overnight and split it into 2 days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Yes to overnight. Haven't been in a while, but nearby hotels were reasonably priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidooboy Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 show up Friday, tour the show buy your stuff. go back Saturday if you wish, for more time... home on sunday. Saturday from open until about 2-3 pm is a ZOO! be prepared for LOTS of foot traffic, tire kickers, getting in the way of booths, deals, ect... sunday everything is picked over but, the dealers are more willing to cut massive discounts, so they don't have to pack it up, and take it home, especially before the close of the day (4pm I believe).

sledjunk Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 Ski I have never gone for more than 1 day. I assume that admission and parking is for each day only. Is this a correct assumption? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sledjunk Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 We are staying at the Doubletree by Hilton, but there are a number of others. Check out the link for the show that I posted above and follow to the nearby accommodations. There is a Marriott, Hilton Garden Inn, and others.
