Paw Paw days,
If we decide on doing it during this event most everything would be planned for us already. vloney would be able to get us space again for parking and displaying the trucks, I know not everyone thinks they have a show quality truck but they don't need to be we don't want people thinking they can only join if they have a nice truck. vloney has also said the dealership he works for is interested in giving some support. There are food vendors so we don't have to try and plan for food, everyone should be able to find something to eat while they're are there. There is a play ground for the kids and they also had pony rides and a train ride (Century's favorite). There are other booths with crafts and such. It's not as centrally located as the lake though.
Lake of the Ozarks,
If we decide on doing it at the lake again it will be more planning on our part. 6L PWR lives down at the lake so he could help setup things for us ford_truck_man is familiar with the area also. The pavilion we had was nice and there was a playground for the kids. We didn't have a whole lot of public exposure and parking was limited. It would be more planning but I think we could handle it. The lake offers a little bit more of a weekend vacation for people planning on staying for the whole weekend. Having a meet here already makes some people familiar with the setting and might help with attendance.
If anyone else has some kind of event or area they think would work for us please let everyone know so we can discuss it.

The Lake Ozark Government is a bunch of idiot's!
