Could I get some photos of a couple of trucks on a green?

How deep are the water traps?

Seems to me it would be a Good choice if the rates are somewhat competitive.

I personally don't have a problem with the location.
Over the years the company I used to be employed by would have the annual Christmas party at various locations.

Some of the best were when they rented the lounge/dining facility's from a Country Club.
The meals where generally better than other choices.

I am sure our group could have a great banquet in a quonset hut or pole building. All that matters is the people and the food. Comfortable chairs are good; we don't want to sit on five gallon buckets or folding chairs that long.

We don't want any NOS military food.

I know it's a huge deal every year to find a location for the Wed night and Sat banquet. In my opinion the best meal we ever had was a few years back at the Eagles ?? on the south side of Fairfield. The ladies served the BEST beef and noodles anywhere and I mean anywhere. I was told they no longer do that which is a shame. If I had my druthers I'd druther not go the the bar that serves the fried chicken. Pizza Ranch does better chicken. I just glad we don't go to the Best Western anymore. Like the others have said it's the people and fellowship that keeps us coming back.

The rates are very good, and the food is also. I think it will work out well but only time will tell. In my mis spent youth I had an accident on the golf course involving a cart and a tree, needless to say I won't be parking a truck on the green.:D

Me and my wife Sarah are planning on attending, 1st timers. Looking forward to meeting some folks and looking at some Dodge's.

Made my reservation yesterday at the Best Western where we always stay and was surprised when they told me they were booked,but had a few rooms left.
Thought for a minute there I was going to have to try a different place.
Not sure what there room status is now so I would suggest if your coming you
Better start making plans.

Guys there should be rooms blocked off for the Rally. I have spoke to Super 8, Americinn, and Best Western, If you didnt make your reservations last year for this year already or you are a newcomer just let them know that it is for the Power Wagon Rally. The registration form should be up and available very soon. Thanks Matt

When I made my reservations at the Best Western on February 4th I mentioned I would be there for the rally and they were very helpful. There is a wedding booked for the weekend (always is) so they have a number of rooms blocked off as well. Looking forward to seeing everyone in June.

I see where Vintage has the Rally Registration up.

Is that the one we had it back in the late 90's? George wellman discussed restoration of his truck. It kinda sucked, we were stuck in a back room, hot and couldn't hear or see George. Hopefully they have changed that? Roy
