We're in!

Rolyat why don't you start a new thread for the Spring Run with your ideas. Just an idea!

 

Chris
Sounds like the 1955 are our kind of Fun and Crazy family. It all sounds like a good Idea. We need our HHR Family to keep up the Good Ideas. One of these days we will have a lot to choose from and that means our 2007 will be nothing but a much larger Wild and Crazy Family Event.(Run)

Every one please keep all the Great Ideas coming INN. This is getting better every week.

 

Yipppeeeeeeeee! We are in...going to the dragstrip !!! Hey if you guys need anything just let me know. .

Just let me know the starting and ending points and we'll map it out. Quad Cities or Galena, either one and I'm in if the dates work. I guess I am going to have to break down and put the tow bar setup on the HHR so we can drag it around with the motorhome (part of the reason we bought the HHR anyway). Never camped at Mississippi Palisades, but always wanted to go. Stopped by there once a few years ago and the campground was closed for some remodeling or something. Have been to Galena and it is a nice place to visit. Scott County parks are nice too!

 

Okay, there has been discussion of the following locations for the Big Run '07 so far. Peoria, Illinois, Galena, Illinois, Wisconsin Dells, Branson, Mo., Mississippi Palasadies Park. I am currently researching Peoria, Galena and The Dells, I was unable to do a run down to Branson as other obligations got in my way so if Gdzhhr or others in that area would like to do the research and submit a proposal we can get all of these things gone through and a decision made. I will put together proposals for the three places that I had mentioned because I have been working them already and I am familiar with them. If you have a location suggestion, maybe you could put together a list of things to do and a report of lodging, recreation, whatever you think makes the location the best for us. I propose that we decide by vote, majority rules, because honestly I like things about all of the places that I have seen so far. There had been a discussion of leaving our geographic area for say the Dells in Wiconsin, and I see points on each side, so I am going to research it and let the group decide...I do not want my personal feelings and bias to create an issue with this run. I can have my research finished by the end of September what about anyone else, is that too soon? Could we decide on a date to put the proposals to the group, either, the first week of October or maybe the first week of November ? As soon as this location issue is settled and we have a weekend then we will begin getting the run into the media, (magazines, run lists etc) then begin working sponsors. Please be thinking of improvements over the first run, trophy issues, classes etc. activities, anything that would help bring this run to the forefront...

 

OK Pat, I think the trophies were perfect on our first run even though Bonnie and clyde(mike) stoled the show in my class!! LOL
I think a poll/choices should be started once all the ideas are listed for the big one in 07 I think it would be the best and easiest way to (vote) on it for everyone?
I think the more media we could get involved the better and maybe we could get people from all over (national) to come being they moved the national run back to 08!! we hold the record as far as i know for the biggest hhr gathering for a run to date and i would like to keep it that way cause i have never met a nicer bunch of nuts!!!!
finally I would just like to say Pat (scaleguy) I feel strongly that you should be our regions/clubs leader/president as I have never seen a more active person in a car club type of thing in all my years as a car freak!! you are the man!!
If we ever need a treasurer it has to be Z-man cause that guys nuts!! and nobody is gonna mess with him!!!LOLOL

 

I thought i would put in my two cents. We went to Branson this summer and it is fun for familys and younger people like myself. With shows, go-karts, museums, sports bars and the best of all, steak houses. They have awesome places to eat. They have more than enough to do. They also have places where we could do some great group photos. We stayed at a resort that had condos with swiming pools, hot tobs, jacuzzis, and a recreation room. This place could easily accommodate 100-150 HHRs with another resort beside it to hold more people. But they would need to know ahead of time. It was around $375 for 3 nights with tax and everything, and if we could do a group deal i bet it would be cheaper. I can research on that and events if yall want me to. I would also consider being a sponser of the event, as im waiting on the response of becoming a vendor. Im up for any location really, think it would be best in the center of the US so west and east wouldnt have to travel as far.

 

Bonnie and I are heading down to Branson this week-end. I'll see what we can find out. I know that they can handle anything we could throw at them. and there is more to do than we'd have time for!

I've never done anything like this before so what sort of things should I look for and ask about?

 

Yea...what he said
