This is just the wife and I, on what should happen.
Suggestions are very welcome!
Friday
Get to show grounds about 1pm, unhook trailer, tape off our area and help set up the StoveBolt HQ.
3pm, go find the hotel and check in.
6pm, get back to show grounds and enjoy the band and cruise-in until dark, then back to hotel.
Gather there somewhere and sit back with a few cold ones and get to know each other. Maybe around the pool.
Saturday
Early (6am?), gather in the breakfast area and wake up. Wake the wife up about 7am.
Hope to be at the showgrounds about 9am and start manning the StoveBolt HQ and help park trucks.
11am- Micrometer reading, how to use a multitester and anvil discussion. (Jerry, George and I)
Noon- Pantless dent removal and brake line flaring tool demo. (Wahl and son)
1pm to 4pm- show will be in full swing and time to do a walk-about to see the sights.
4pm- group meeting and group picture taken.
Dark- head back to hotel and gather again for a few cold ones.
Sunday
Sleep in till 7am and wake wife up at 8am.
11am- get to show grounds and man the HQ.
1pm- get with Jerry and start loading Ed's truck on trailer.
3pm- The wife and I will be leaving the showgrounds when the awards ceremony starts and headed west to Topeka and stay there on the west side just off I-70.
Monday
Head across Kansas and get a room around Denver.
Tuesday
Drop off Ed's truck and head to Utah in a slow vacation mode.
Remember, this is Vicki and I on vacation, but with a empty trailer out in that area, it may be hard not to load something up for the ride back

Maybe Deve could also do a seminar on his HEI system he designed.
Just a thought.

Anything we need to bring just let me know. We will be staying at the Super 8 just down the street from the park. Got the t-shirt list from Peggy so will bring with me. Helped with shirts last year so should be good to go.

Pat has helped a lot the last few years and it's about time for Vicki to help also, instead of keeping a close eye on me.
Extra lawn chairs is the only thing I can think of now. Make sure your name is on them, so you get them back.

Don Good advice, mine are still at Stovebolt HQ. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,070 Authorized Pest | | Authorized Pest Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 5,070 | How about an extra canapy again? Ice chest and any waters like we've had in the past. We could forgo the sodas as there would be plenty of vendors around.
We had a lot of volunteer water delivered and that was a huge help. I don't think it will be as hot this year, so maybe the water will be at a minimum.
I will post in another thread the show's schedule for people who do not know it.
Man ... I hate that we won't be there.
Oh yeah ... name tape!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just added water canapy and an extra cooler to the list.
Red tape name tags and black markers were already on the list, along with buckeyes and anvils.
This list will get longer.

I'll scratch bottled water off my list.
Thanks

That has always been the nice thing about this get together ... everyone was just glad to meet each other, meet the new folks, see all the trucks, have some decent food  ... as far as it being a "convention" or anything like that ... NOT! I don't know if you all noticed, but I usually had a hard time finding John when it was time to do something on the schedule! Seemed planning the FOOD event was the easiest way to get everyone there for the photo and the prizes!
