Sorry you will miss it. Hope we can have another that you can make. Glad to know we are getting close to more energy for America though.

I'll go ahead and put some of my ideas for this out there. To me KC has always been known for it's BBQ. So I'd like to see some world famous KC BBQ in the plans somewhere. We can meet at a restaurant or do our own at a lake or park somewhere.

I'm going to contact some companies for some prizes to give away.

Now this is just my idea and is not a rule or written in stone. Your ideas are just as important and please post if you have some.

This poll ends on the 25th and then we can start work on a place for the GTG.

Sounds like a good plan. I voted for Saturday, and I will do whatever I can to make it. The wife has been wanting to go to KC for a weekend, this would make a great excuse to go!

Some more ideas I'd like to kick around. I will have some dash plaques made for this and will have packets for all who attend. Trying to get packet items now and I'd also like to have some prizes to give away at a drawing.

If any of the other CL's or members would like add to this please do. We could even have a design contest for a logo for this event.

Guess it's time for an update. Ken is sending me some goodies. I have others I will contact also. Dash plaques will be easy and I'll get working on those next month.

I'll get a location poll up after the date poll ends tomorrow.

Looks like Saturday October the 7th is the date. Now we need a location. It has been sugested that we go to Gates BBQ. I have never been there but Authur Bryant's was great when I went a few years ago. They say there is very little parking at the old original Bryant's location and I went to the one at the Ameristar Casino. They have TV so the football games will be on. First come and serve on the steating. You go through a line to get your food and they had some really great beer I had never heard of before. I'll call to see if they have a smoking section.


I found this link also: http://www.rbjb.com/rbjb/bbq.htm

Ok so far we have the locations lised below. Any other suggestions?

Gates web site: www.gatesbbq.com These locations have rooms we can reserver. There is no smoking (of cigars ect...) inside the restaurant. They have a full bar for drinks and beer.

Gates Paseo (Listed as 1325 E. Emanuel Clever Rd.)

Gates Main St.
http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?formtype=address&addtohistory=&address=320 5%20Main%20St&city=Kansas%20City&state=MO&zipcode= 64111%2d1902&country=US&geodiff=1

Gates US 40

Arthur Bryants web site: www.arthurbryantsbbq.com This is a cafeteria style place to get your food. They have Blvd. Pale Ale and Budweiser beer. They have a smoking section.

I'll run a poll starting next week. I'll count all of the Gates BBG votes as a vote for Gates and we'll try to get the location with most votes. I'll put an other in also.

Last weekend for the poll. Right now it's tied between Arthur Bryants and Gates. So if you have been waiting to vote nows the time. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/5...tion-poll.html

I have stickers, 8 shirts, two books, stickers, tool accessories, video games/computer accessory, stickers, vehicle accessories, Koozies, stickers and some pins. I'll add a few gift certificates and dash plaques. And a few other items if I can.

I'll have packets with goodies for the first 15 trucks that show up. Packets will have a dash plaque for the event, stickers, and other items such as pens, or pins, key chains, koozie ect.... I will also enclose a raffle ticket in the packet for a drawing for the shirts and other items. Additional tickets will be available.

I plan to have the KS. chapter banner set up. Other chapters are welcome to display a banner.

I'm really looking forward to this.

I'm going to change what I posted earlier about the first 15 trucks. We had talked about car or truck pooling to this event so it should be the first 15 FTE members.
