Riffraff Diesel 8th Annual East Event 2016

While plans are still being made and details being finalized, we can start making our plans to attend the 8th annual event in Newport TN. The main event will be at the Cocke County Fairgrounds on July 16th. Everything will be similar as it has in the past with the KOA being our host campground. Please make plans to attend this year and make this the best get together ever. We have a Facebook page set up for those that have Facebook.
https://www.facebook.com/events/743471585783506/
Mark your calendars, get your vacation time in and come out and join us this year.

If the main event is the 16th, then I'm assuming that we're looking at July 14-17th, or that Thursday through Sunday- is that correct?

The event is all we advertise publicly. All the other stuff is for the FTE group in and around the campground. Some are there all week, I arrive on Thursday. The events at the campground usually start on Thursday and most folks head out on Sunday.

Yeah man. I went to the first one, it was 8.5 hours for me pulling the camper. I left after work Thursday and drove all night with the wife and kids. There were guys from Connecticut, New York, Hell, even Duckfan came from Northern Cali, not to mention Clay and Kristen drove all the way from Oregon. You should go Jaime. It is a blast.

I hope you all will make plans to attend. Each year it gets a little better and hopefully more fun. Campground is filling up fast but plenty of hotels very near.

I plan to make reservations at the campground tomorrow if any are left. We just bought a new Travel Trailer and can't wait to put it on the road. What are some of the events that are there? Dyno?

Is there a dedicated forum or website for this event?
