On May 4-7, 2006, the Ridgerunner Miata Club of Western North Carolina
is having a celebration and we would like you to join us. That's right,
it's the same folks who brought you "Miatas at the Biltmore Estate" in May
2004. We're having a celebration of the glorious colors that adorn our
beautiful roadsters ,a celebration of the amazing colors that nature bestows
upon these mountains and a celebration of Miata fellowship that flourishes
whenever and wherever Miata's gather.

Among the many highlights of your stay with us is a late afternoon
panoramic photo shoot of the entire Miata gathering with magnificent
mountain vistas in the background. Prints will be made available to
attendees before leaving on Sunday. The photo will be taken by the renowned local panoramic photographer Benjamin Porter.

During your visit, explore the many attractions in the Blue Ridge,
Smokey Mountain area, or take one or more of the many drive tours that the
Ridgerunners have planned for you over many of their favorite Miata roads.
Visit the famous Biltmore Estate in Asheville if you wish. The Biltmore
Estate is a unique destination, which includes a 250 room French Chateau
filled with art and antiques, spectacular gardens, and an award-winning
winery surrounded by lush vineyards.

Our hotel venue will be the Crowne Plaza in Asheville N.C.
where we have reserved 150 rooms for this celebration. The fully remodeled
Crowne Plaza (formerly the Holiday Inn Sunspree Resort) has extensive
experience with hosting automobile gatherings and is well prepared to
provide for your comfort and convenience during our Mountain Miata ColorFest Event.

This event will combine a relaxed party atmosphere, great food, perfect weather, a stunning mountain location, lots of Miata activities and a few hundred like-
minded Miata enthusiasts. Join us for four fun-filled days in our Miata
playground. Some of the best Miata roads in the country are in our

twisties of Deal's Gap. Navigate through our website to answer all your
