Well time was getting of an essence so here is what we came up with. Contracts and such still need to be signed but the date and location is now secured.

We will be having the Rally at the "Woodlands" in Kansas City, KS on July 30th and 31st. The 29th will be our setup day with the main event on the 30th-31st. The lot we have is approximately 250,000 sq. ft. all paved. The address is 9700 Leavenworth Road Kansas City, KS 66109 :http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp...searchtab=home Mapqwest or their website: http://www.woodlandskc.com/

The Woodlands is a horse and dog track facility on the west side of KCK. We will be able to utilize their track facilities for dining and such. If we have a group big enough on Friday evening we can have a dinner at the track in a private area and as a plus they will announce our group, publish it on the programs and the tickets, which will allow for people attending the races to know about the Rally on Saturday. There is also a Hampton Inn and a new Holiday Inn Express right by there that we can get group rates through the Woodlands. Right down the road is the Kansas Speedway which has a lot of new stores, restaurants and motels around it.


Still have to work out the rest of the details but for now we have our Date and Location. Now to put together the rest of the Rally. More details as they are worked out will be posted. Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

 

That is great. I that is about 20 miles from my house.

Hope to see lots of people there.

Maybe this could get posted in the National Rally forum also.

 

Sounds great!

 

Awesome Rollie!!!!

Sounds awesome my old stomping grounds. I can't wait.

 

Got my plane tickets, got my rental car. All I need is a room (do you think the "group rate" discount will be significant?) and I'm all set! I can hardly wait to meet everyone in person (3 years and nearly 6000 posts will do that to a guy...). Now- how do I wait until JULY?!?!

 

We have someone that we need to talk about a group rate at a hotel. I will also be setting up a campground for those that want to bring a 5th wheel or whatever. The one i will be talking to should have running water and electric. Dont know how much it will cost but its only about 5 miles from the Rally. I will keep Rollie posted on what is happening!

 

ALL RIGHT!! Cabelas is right down the road. I think the Woodlands use to have RV hook-ups also Undertkr. I'll check their web site and see. Sounds like things will be moving along pretty fast now!

 

Rollie, good going! It sounds like a great site. Let us know what you need from us to help pull this thing off as a success.

 

Jeff,

Thanks for checking on this and getting things for the campers. Keep us updated, I have had lots of inquires about camping.

 

Another thing we will need is porta-potties. Anyone have an idea how to grab a few?

 

Camping! Are there state parks close by. Also, city or county places that have camping. Often they offer reasonable rates too.

 

Sounds like a good place to me. Can't wait to meet every one els in this group of ford enthusiasts.lol

The Woodlands should have an indoor tiolets but if not we can always call Jonny-on-spot for some. I will go visit the campgrounds today or tomorrow and see what i can come up with and post here what and where!!

 

The Woodlands do not have facilities for hookups for overnight camping. They said they do have water and genators can be run. Undertakr if you will check the local campgrounds I will use my contacts to locate the closest area lakes/reservoirs/state/federal parks to the Woodlands.
