The Ramada Plaza Hotel and Conference Center is the same facility in which we originally held Boogie In The Bluegrass. Many of you may remember it as The Clarion Hotel and you may recall the huge ballroom with lots of room to dance and plenty of tables. Well, we're happy to say the hotel has been purchased by a group of Louisville inventors who paid cash for the facility and have committed over eight million dollars toward remodeling the rooms, meeting spaces, and pool area. We are excited to be able to return to this facility since the conference center has so much room. In addition, the hotel has contracted for room rates even lower than last year. The conference center ballroom is over 40,000 square feet so we will be able to install more dance floor than ever before. Even so, the room is so large we will have ample space and plenty of tables and seating for everyone. You won't have to worry about arriving late to the dance only to find there are no seats.

Unlike the last couple of years where our Saturday afternoon cookout with live music by Lamont Gillespie and The Saints Blues Band was subject to some rather chilly, windy weather, this year we will once again have our indoor pool party with many rooms accessing the pool area directly. We'll have our live band again this year and plenty of fun for everyone.

The facility has excellent access to I-64 and is located just minutes from the area attractions and downtown Louisville. The Hotel provides Wicks Family Restaurant and Lounge, Tazza Mia Coffee Shop, Airport Shuttle, Indoor Pool, Hot Tub, Sauna, Business Center, Fitness Center and Free Wireless High Speed Internet Access and Room Service. The Ramada Plazas Triple Crown Pavilion provides over 44,000 square feet of Meeting and Banquet Space. We are an excellent choice for sports fans, associations, military and groups. No Pets Accepted. Free Airport Shuttle.
