I'm in!

I'm in as usual! Email sent.

Two more sign ups today! YAY...

Don't forget to make your choices for things to do in our poll on this thread.

Thanks, Eric

Last year, we had some really fun extra-curricular activities. Should we do that this year, what would we do?

Rockets?
Catapult challenge...
Cheezewiz chugging challenge?
Tannerite extravoganza?
Cornhole tourney w/prizes...

Does anybody have any suggestions?

Thoughts?

-Eric

Please add me to the Attendee List: Val M. (FJ Cruiser).

I like the idea of Tannerite. I enjoy shooting things, maybe a skeet shooting contest?

Added another... Yay! Don't forget to vote for your favorite activities.

-Eric

Added a couple people and am starting to plan the weekend. Please speak up if there's something you want to see. The Rim Butte trail project has stalled and is not open yet so that choice is off of the table. It's slated for completion sometime in 2018 so there's something to look forward to for sure!

For those that are going, please make sure and invite a Suzuki buddy along... One of the best rewards is turning someone on to this weekend and sharing the fun.

when is the last day that you can say i will come

Hi, What do you mean? I can't figure out your question... sorry. There's no registration or anything.. just letting me know via email so you can get the final instructions before the get together and we can get a head count. Does that make sense?

-Eric

ya that makes sense ...so when is the latest you need to know if I could make it for your head count and instructions to get there. just because it might be a last minute decision. I don't want to say I will come and then I get disappointed as something comes up like the last couple yrs, so I'm trying a different approach if I leave it to the last minute then karma wont get me lol

Making some updates to the itinerary based on votes and conversations... Please take a moment to look at the first post in this thread for details...

Anyone have requests or things they want to see?

Thanks, Eric
