The Stovebolt Site Forums The Side Lot Annual Stovebolt Reunion (Kansas City) The KC 2022 Reunion is On!

Mongo has offered up his Garage again and the great event will be one week later.
That is so it does not interfere with any 9-11 events. More info to follow.

Don & Vicki

What days?

Hopefully its two weeks later...? The AD Nationals in Franklin, IN are September 16th and 17th.

3 cheers for Mongo, His place is the perfect gathering spot. And to Don of course.
Chuck

The plan is September 17th-18th.
-Mongo

Thanks you Mongo. Looking forward to it.

Looks like hotdogs are in order for Alvin!
I'll reach out to the Alderson's and see if they will host Friday night.
Vicki has also mentioned doing the t shirt design that will include Mongo's Garage.
We are also looking for a shirt printer around the KC area. Galeen maybe?

Don

Don, a design after one of the door logos that mongo has done would look great.

Never been. I might try to make it.

Chris at River City T's has been my guy for T-Shirt screen printing
Chuck

I'm planning to attend. I had a great time last year. Just hoping that it doesn't turn out to be the same week my son, daughter in-law and grand daughter come in from Germany. Pretty certain they're going to be here (in Omaha) sometime in September. Just not sure exactly when, as he is still awaiting his new orders (Military).

As of right now, that's about the only thing that could derail my attendance.

John

I've got a 50-50 chance of having that weekend off.... holding my breath!!

Hope you can make it Rusty! The Reunion has made a change and in my mind, for the better.
Thanks to Mongo and his family for hosting us and they have a great place for the event.

Don

The All-Truck Midwest Nationals haven't updated their web site since the cancellation of last year's event. They have updated their copyright notice to 2022 though.

-Kevin

Shakey61, I guess that means they aren't having a 2022 get together?

Oldie, The new Heartland Reunion is ON! No truck show to go to.
September 16th and 17th. Mongo will host us at his Garage. Last year it was a nice laid back gathering with BBQ and just a great meet and greet.
We hope to have some hands on demo's. Maybe tune up a 327 in a 57 one ton GMC?
My wife Vicki may even show you how to weave a rug.
After the Southern Jamboree, we'll start the real planning for the Heartland Reunion.
T-Shirt designs and input are very welcome!

Don

I'm guessing they won't. We're left to our own devices!

-Kevin

But thanks to Mongo and Don we have good devices
Chuck

Looks like my son isn't visiting until October, so Theresa and I should be in attendance at Mongo's this September.

John

Great John! I just got back from the Southern Jamboree and now it’s time to really start planning the Reunion.

Don

Is the meeting spot in Independence?

Yes. Mongo's Garage Sept. 17th. There is a lot more planning to do, so check in often.
Do a search on FB for "Mongo's Garage"

Don

I usually miss the opportunity to get a shirt, so while I'm here, let me say, please order an XL for me.

Thank you.
DJ

Well, wouldn't you know.....back surgery scheduled for the 30 of August with a minimum of two week recovery. That'll take me up to Sept. 14 th.

Your health comes first Alvin, take care of your back!
And I thought you and Tuts were going to share the ride again?

Don

I have demonstrations on nickel plating and black oxide finishing to bring.

-Kevin

Don, don't count me out. Tut and i have a plan!!
......surgery one week from this morning. I'm getting a little antsy about now!!!

Are folks getting together on Friday evening?

Was wondering the same. Alvin and I should be there Friday afternoon. I take it that we will not be gathering for BBQ as was done in the past?

There will be some kind of gathering Friday afternoon/evening at Mongo’s Garage.
And a slight chance we will be invited to the Alderson’s for BBQ and a tour of their vehicle collection.

Gotta run, pouring concrete today.
Don

What time are we meeting on Saturday?

-Kevin

I’d say 10 or 11 am Saturday. You can do the plating demo, Tuts is bringing his flareing tools to show us how well it works.
I’ll be learning how to remove hail damage.

You really should try and make the Alderson’s Friday evening. They have an great collection of old, restored equipment.

Headed to Sedalia today for that junk yard auction. Meet up for lunch next week Kevin?
Don

Shakey61 Hope to hit that BBQ need an adress,not a mind reader,KCM andKCK are big places need some information here please !!

Addresses will be posted in the next few days. Just got back from a Junk yard auction and will be headed to the Mokane Worlds Fair for some mutton. Wife has a taste for some, so we will head there in just a little while.
Things are shaping up good for the Reunion and hope to have a good turnout!

Don

Can’t wait.

Is there email distribution list or something for this event? Don’t want to miss updates for event like this in my home town. New to forum

Everyone, check out the Agenda threads, info on times and locations will be posted there.
All are in the Independence/Buckner area east of KC off I-70.
