| | Those are the kinds of places I look for. I always figured if it was just me, anywhere clean would do. Now that it's always just me... | |

| Hi Marty & Carrie,
I'll be there Friday and would like to attend the food events as well. Thanks for all you do, looks like several members of the Cedar Valley GRS are going to attend.

| Marty,
My wife, munchin and myself will be there, and go ahead and cound 2.5( the .5 because My daugther will be along, but not on solids yet) for the banquet. I am working on 2 others coming, not sure of banquet status on them yet......
I just called the best western.....
I thought I had set reservations at the best western when I left last year, but I musta forgot....at least they couldnt find me when I called.
Oh well I will get them an one of the others, cant miss the "Thingy"! | | | |

| I just called Best Western to confirm our rooms for the 26th and 27th. We are "good to go." When/where are we eating Friday night and Saturday night? Count Susie and I in for Saturday night for sure. Friday depends on how early she can get off work, and what time the dinner starts.

| | Hey Marty, is there anyplace nearby to throw up a tent for camping out during that weekend. I'd really like to come and bring my two boys, even if i don't have anything to run ready. Is that OK? | | | |

There is a RV park listed on the first page of this thread. Have you called them to see about a pitching a tent? | |

| Marty, Despite Stan's entreaties, I won't be able to come this year. So Stan will have to do his usual excellent job of documenting the proceedings.
But I've been following DenRay's discussion of mountain-making, and I notice y'all are thinking about his doing a clinic. I'd like to seriously suggest that somebody put a camcorder or two (to cover the angles?:hehe ) on tripods to tape the clinic. This is something I'd be willing to toss a few bucks into J.J.'s hat for!
Just a thought.. | |

| Hey Marty,
If we want to participate in the swap meet (I have some stuff I think that people would be interested in) is there some kind of form to fill out or whom do we inform so that we can get a table? | |

the past years we have you bring a #10 envolope with your name , discription of the item , how much you want for it, ceil number ,SS, passport ID, bank passwords, keys to your car, pink slip ,etc. and tape it to the item.
This way anyone around the tables can point the person to who you are. | |

| | Patsy managed to book us into a place called "Lied Lodge." Does anybody know anything about this place? Patsy said it was near Neb. City in the country. I hope it's not too far away or too difficult to find. I'm hoping to get up there in time for Friday nights festivities! | |

| I found a web site for the Lied Lodge. Fancy looking place. Looks to be west of Martys but still fairly close. My guess would be somewhere around 5 miles. Rates are a little stiffer than most of the local motels. They didn't have Marty's listed on their things to do list. Whats with that!?
