What a good group is right, Don! These shows get better and better. Man, when we get to the big #10 next year and the fellow convoy with John from the East Coast ... well, I THINK we will have to plan a little earlier than 30-days. My bad ... (Although, we seem to have a pretty good template going so not much to change!)  Peg

If I remember correctly, we did name tags when we checked in last year. We put our name and "handle" on them. Still a great idea. I'd like to suggest that everyone put their home city/state on the name tag as well. Looking through your list, I didn't realize how many people are relatively close to the show. It would be great to be able to link up with more local bolters. I need all the help I can get on my burb. :-)
Thanks

We are not going to be able to make it. Doris is still on the mend from a knee replacement. Hopefully next year.
Cleon | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,112 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,112 | I think name tags would be very helpful for people like me.

Sorry to hear you'll miss the event. You have quite a drive from Texas so it's not like you are close by! Hope Doris mends well ... and soon.
Yes, next year will be the biggie! It will be an easier year for us, too since all the kids will be in school, and there is no major project looming at the farm (unless Mother Nature throws one at us!).
Larry,
Did we have name tags or was it my most impressive and EXCLUSIVE masking tape? Ed Hoover came up with the cool name tags and there may be some of them still around. I will bring my EXCLUSIVE masking tape. That way you can have a fresh one each morning. Make it long, layered, front and back ... whatever you liiiiike! We definitely need ID tho! Location is a good idea too. Never thought about that.
Next year, we hope to actually get that map thing going - but something more private than what Google has right now.
