Rocky Mountain Regional Meet
 

BIG UPDATE AS OF 10/26/09...see post #14
I wanted to put this out to everyone. There is a group of us working to organize a huge regional get together in Colorado early next summer. It would be open to anyone who wants to attend. And would be a weekend long (2+ day) chance for a large group of us to get together and enjoy the one thing we all have in common...GM trucks.

If you are interested in attending, please vote yes on the poll. Right now the main goal here is to get a good idea of how many people would attend an event like this next summer.

Thank you all!
Here is the link to our discussion of the event. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=364942

Re: Rocky Mountain Regional Meet
 

I would love to attend, but it's a bit of a drive. Good luck with your planning.

Re: Rocky Mountain Regional Meet
 

I voted yes,it's a long drive from Chicago,but I've always wanted to go to Colorado

Re: Rocky Mountain Regional Meet
 

Too far from me. Wish I could.

Re: Rocky Mountain Regional Meet
 

Is this a pole to see who would like to attend from other regions?Is that why it`s in General Discussion?I`d say,sure.I`d love to go.Considering it`s so far off and times are so uncertain,I really shouldn`t commit.it does help to know long in advance so a plan be made.
It sure would be great to catch a meet in another part of the country.I`d like to think,any member is welcome to any one of these meets if they can arrange it.

Re: Rocky Mountain Regional Meet
 

Yes,that is why I put it here.

They are trying to set up a central located event that would be open to all years, and draw form all parts of the country.

Re: Rocky Mountain Regional Meet
 

Exactly...thanks again. We are in the planning stages and we need an idea of how many people we should plan for. From our local members we would probably have somewhere in the neighborhood of 25-30 members. Plus we want to get as many people from all over the place as we can. Right now the discussion is leaning torward June. We want an idea of numbers to help us plan our location.

Re: Rocky Mountain Regional Meet
 

Same here. DC to Denver is a bit of a hike.:lol:

Re: Rocky Mountain Regional Meet
 

I think it's great your going to try to do something this big,it's a lot of work and I hope it turns out for you. Colorado is a beautiful state and a great place to vacation! A lot of great Rod Run's started the same way.Hope to see ya there.

Re: Rocky Mountain Regional Meet
 

Yes DrivewayDreams, if it's in Greeley's area or as far south as Denver I'd try to make it. We might even try to drive one of my junkers!

Looks like we are going to try and tie in to an established event in Loveland, CO July 10th &11th I think it is. We should know more this week.

Re: Rocky Mountain Regional Meet
 

CO isn't too far of a drive for me. I would go!

Re: Rocky Mountain Regional Meet
 

It looks like we might be having it the 2nd weekend of July in Loveland, CO. Not set in stone yet, but that is what is in talks. :metal.

................................... HUGE UPDATE!!..........................................

I just heard back from the gal in charge of the event in Loveland. It is July 10 & 11, 2010. In downtown Loveland Colorado. I think she said it is called "Summerfest in the Rockies". There is fireworks planned around 9pm on Saturday night. Food, Beer garden, local vendors, etc. The will be a whole car show area and we can have as much room as we need. They would just block off as many streets as we can take up. She said if we have 50 or we have 250, it is fine with them. They would charge us $5 per vehicle to help with costs.

There is plenty of places to see and things to do. We could still roll out in the afternoon and do a couple cruises. And there are hotels within short drives of the event for the "out of towners". Let me know what you all think.

Re: Rocky Mountain Regional Meet
 

Well OK then Driveway Dreams, we are going to try to make arrangements to be there. My sisters and my wife's uncle are in the Denver area so we may be able to just make a vacation of it.

Re: Rocky Mountain Regional Meet
 

I am moving this back to the top. We are trying to get word out to as many people on the board as possible. We are trying to make it a good one!

Re: Rocky Mountain Regional Meet
 

not a solid commitment yet, just a sbuscription.
we could convoy with Tater and pick up Shawn and a bunch of other guys from the RC area. Hey Shawn, you wanna drive the dually or should we tow it with my truck? LOL

Re: Rocky Mountain Regional Meet
 

I can give a light maybe. Early summer is usually very busy business wise, but if it hit the right weekend I may be able to pull it off.

Re: Rocky Mountain Regional Meet
 

I voted yes. It would be great for us out here in the middle of nowhere.

We not at the end of the world, but we can see it from here.

Re: Rocky Mountain Regional Meet
 

Thanks for the expressed interest. I am not looking to have commitments from people as much as a good idea of how many spaces we might need. Here is the details I have so far for it again.

It is July 10 & 11, 2010. In downtown Loveland Colorado. I think she said it is called "Summerfest in the Rockies". There is fireworks planned around 9pm on Saturday night. Food, Beer garden, local vendors, etc. The will be a whole car show area and we can have as much room as we need. They would just block off as many streets as we can take up.
