Name: Carolina Otter Invasion #26
Start: 2025-11-05T19:00:00-05:00
Location: Four Points By Sheraton Charlotte - Lake Norman

To all Rogues, Wenches, Ren Mercs, Privateers, friends of Otters & anyone else interested in participating (open to all, of course!) – Join us for our 26th Carolina Otter Invasion ! Book early!
We found a new Hotel Otter as of CRF 2023 #24 - the Four Points by Sheraton Charlotte - Lake Norman! off of I-77 exit for NC 73 / Sam Furr Road, near where we used to stay at the original Hotel Otter. The hotel is by the Bob Evans near the Target & Harris Teeter. The hotel we chose has a fitness center, laundry facilities, a small convenience store, a restaurant, and even an indoor pool. We will also be close to many different kinds of restaurants, grocery stores, and convenience stores that are within a five-mile area.
What you need to know #1 from Harold: If we can achieve 50 cumulative rooms booked, the hotel will give us the use of the conference room for free. If we can’t accomplish 50 rooms booked minimum it will cost us $350 for the use of the Conference Room for the weekend. If you use points to book a room, this will not be counted as part of the group according to the hotel.
The Room Rates for 2025 are: $119/ night for a traditional room with a King size bed or two Double beds ($5 increase); Suites for Double, Queen, and King are $149/night (same as last year). These rates include breakfast at the hotel for every guest in the room, which would normally cost extra.
To take advantage of this discounted rate, you can either call the hotel directly at 704-766-2500 and let them know you are part of the group: OTTER INVASION; or you can click on the link and be re-directed to their web site to book your room.
