WA HHR, I remember the drill instructor too, that must have been one of those "fill in the blank" type sayings. Of course if he was from MO. he certainly would use another state... And yes, it was offensive then and still is, not that I`m offended, Better go read the "RICER" thread...

Okay folks I have appointments with a major hotel/waterpark and others in the Dells this weekend, to discuss their offers to get us to bring the Big Run up there...I will be looking for room rates and package deals(waterpark, food, show facilities, etc) from the hotel, discount packages on entertainment, shopping etc from the Convention and Visitors Bureau and sponsorship from individual businesses, as well as support from local law enforecement for our Saturday afternoon cruise during this weekend. I will then be able to complete the package for the Dells, then we will do the same with the folks at Galena and I have an appointment already with the folks from Peoria, so the packages will be made public soon...You may also view info about the runs and the newly forming Midwest HHR Club at our group page on Yahoo. I f you would lik eto have access to the page and be considered for membership in this new club please contact me with your e-mail address and I will send the required invitation to the site...Please watch here and the group site for updtaes on my findings on the site proposals...

I'm just looking for clarity.

Is the Big Bash 2007 being planned a Mid-Central event or something for the new club that you're starting?

Thanks for any info.

I'm still pretty new here, but I'm just wondering if it makes a difference who/what is hosting? Isn't the objective to have the biggest run and get the most people TOGETHER and let everyone have the MOST fun they've ever had and the MAIN point-GET THE BIGGEST GROUP OF HHR'S TOGETHER in one spot ever? If it's one as opposed to the other, does that mean that the Shell Knob proposal would be gone?

I'm not out to stir up trouble, but if we start getting nit picky about who's doing what than that just defeats the main purpose and reason for all working towards the same goal!

I just want to have FUN and see as many HHR's all in one spot as I can! I love my car and my car loves me! Just like we all should!

thank you for allowing me to put in my and I really can't wait to meet everyone at the run on the 21st!

Love to all
Robin

I'm not trying to start anything either. I'm just wanting to know because it was stated to go to the club site for info but it is a invite only club, which is fine and understandable.

Honestly, I don't want to waste my time trying to plan a potential Mid-Central event when there is a club that is planning an event for the same time frame. It not fair to either. That's the only reason I raised the question. That doesn't mean that the Shell Knob proposal will be gone but there should at least be a little communication between the people who are trying to plan these things for everyone.

That's why I asked for clarity. If for no other reason, I'd like to be able to tell people who I talk to about planning this who is putting the event on.

I have asked to be a member of the club. I'd like to be active in any regional group related to HHR fun!

Hopefully, Pat will clear this up soon. I've got one sponsor who is signed on and has some cool GM/Chevy stuff for us. They're not really concerned about where the event is, they just want to show support for a Chevy related event.
