The Gold Wing Road Riders Association was scheduled to hold its 2008 Wing Ding in Springfield but is moving to an alternate city, according to the CVB’s May newsletter.
“The move is due to the potential for construction on the vacant lot next to the Expo Center and the announcement that Hammons Hotels was planning to build a hotel on the parking lot in front of University Plaza Convention Center,” the newsletter states.
The Gold Wing group planned to use a village theme, tying together the vacant lot, UP, the Expo and Jordan Valley Ice Park. The Wing Ding brought nearly 12,000 people here in July 1999, which still stands as the record July for room demand in the city.
“This is an unfortunate loss for Springfield and southwest Missouri,” the newsletter reads.
