I have to agree............Keokuk would make the meeting closer for the Missouri Chapter and about and equal drive for most of us in Illinois. Is ther a State Park/etc. to meet at?

 

A great place would either be the riverside park, or the city park. Thr riverside park has a big parking lot right next to the riverboat museum, and the city park is quite sizeable as well, and has playground and barbeque facilities. They hold a car show in the city park, so they wouldn't be too upset by our presence, but I would have to find out about reservations or such. I'll have to look into what activities are there and when.

 

Wow.........both sound very good. If the City Park is the better location we could try to meet there. Ample parking and open space for all to relax, chat and such would be great! Guess the dates it could be available to us would be a guide to date and month?

Thanks, Fastronald

 

i vote for keokuk, with my wifes family down there she can go visit while we have our meeting

 

keokuk here too the riverside is big enough for us all and you dont need any reservations at all

 

it used to be the local burnout spot, actually did a flat spin years ago down there, plenty of memories on that riverside...

 

my wife got pregnant near there

 

that could never happen... I wouldn't know anything about that kind of activity there... Oh I forgot, I lived up the hill from there... and my wife lived in Keokuk when I originally met her... nope don't know a thing!

 

so is it to be voted on ?

 

we could go ahead and vote on it, I'll make the thread...
If it is to be in Keokuk, I just went by the riverside lot yeterday, and forgot how confusing it can be to get down there, especially for those who don't know the town at all. There's no shade and we are talking about summer here, so I would thinkg the park would be better, I don't think we really have to reserve it, unless we are talking about some big numbers. Also, the kids have something to do, this is a family gathering, right? When kids are bored, trouble starts...

 

If the kids get out of hand, I'll start bustin some heads.

Nah..not really.

Alls I gotsta say: Git'er done!

 

you got a point park is good for me too

 

Sounds like a winner to me!

 

yeah i like to keep things simple, bring a grill and burn some franks eat some beans , let the kids chase a frisbe around. somthing like that

 

There's all kinds of playground equipment, so it will keep them busy, shelters in the vent it showers, and plenty of parking. The river is just over the hill, the parl is actually on the bluff over looking the river.
