Big midwest meet for 2014-any ideas?

[jrSS]

Comments? Suggestions??

Thinking maybe we could have the meet at the Auburn IN auction park. Right off I 69 north of ft wayne. Hotels near by....acd car museum......

Boo, Big West? East of the sipi? Or Midwest? Somewhere with some fire or access trails

 

[jrSS]

Midwest sorry bud
Can someone change the title to: big mid west meet....I am an idot.

Anyway....www.auburnauctionpark.com

 

[Playsinsnow]

It'll save so much more gas. No worries.


I vote before summer starts, unless camping is an option.
Maybe a big city for a friday night cruise? Convoy and take up the whole direction.

 

[jrSS]

We usually have it around mothers day.

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

I like the location, but am open to suggestions.

Thought on spring campout at my property in SE IN but its not a great setup for this meet.

 

[Aarkon]

indiana isnt to far for me

 

[Grimor]

How about my house, I got a lot of lift stuff to put on. No trails here but I'll turn the garden hose on in the yard for a bit if it'll help

Sounds good to me! As long as its warm!! Meets in the cold suck

 

[Grimor]

as long as it's not raining, I hate rain

 

[Sparky]

I'm good with almost anywhere. It'll come down to when it is exactly however and what all is going on then.

What, you didn't like this past one's weather?

 

[jrSS]

Since I have my new job...with no seniority....hopefully we can get a date set sometime so I can put vacation in.

 

[Hatchet]

Well if we do it the the weekend of the 17th of may, I won't be around. Hosting a candlelight bowl for my lodge. Other than that, I think I can work any other date out.

Pretty much anything looks good for me still but let's not let it get too close or I won't be able to put the time off request in (I figure I'll need Friday off again like last year).

Just take it off anyway...:doh:

Alright folks, lets get a poll up and get some thoughts on what works. Mods, help us out here please.

May 3-4
May 17-18
May 31-June 1
June 7-8
June 21-22
June 28-29

Those weekends allow us to to miss Mothers Day, Memorial Day, and Fathers Day weekends.

I am pretty much open at this point. I am thinking that the Friday night pre meet could be dinner in Fort Wayne and then hit up a Friday night Tin Caps baseball game. It is inexpensive, the beer is cold and decently priced, and there are fireworks every Friday night. Just a thought.... The only Fridays that there are home games are May 2nd and 23rd.

Saturday meet can be a cook out like we have done in the past. IT is close enough that I can bring my grill, and would be glad to man it again. Although it looked like my replacement at the last Midwest meet did a tremendous job! Like Jeff mentioned, Auburn offers a lot of hotels and restaurants, or is less then 30 mins from Fort Wayne. I am glad to help put some things together if needed.

All of May is no good for me. Since my job has cut back all benefits including health care and 401k, I only get one week vacation now and I'm using it in May to visit my family in Aruba. I can't take off 2 wknds a month anymore either, so if this is in May then I'll just catch everybody next year.

 

[jrSS]

Im good with june

Yea, they cut me off pretty hard. With the way things are around here, I have no choice but to stay put for now. New things might be on the horizon though. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Is there a poll for this yet? I'm probably out for June 7-8, June 21-22. I think most of the other dates work so far.

[jrSS]

C'mon guys..vote for which day. I am the lowest guy on the totem pole at work and need to put in for vacation and find out what dates I need off.

 

[Sparky]

So far looks like May 31-June 1 is winning with June 7-8 in second.

Just to clarify, where exactly? Or just getting a date set? Depending where, I'm game for Fri/Sat.

I believe, Ft Wayne, IN.

 

[Sparky]

I don't think the exact locations there have been decided but it sounds like that is the likely area we'll be in.

 

[JamesL3]

I'd like to say i'd be making the trip, but baby on the way. No travels for a while!

 

[Boricua SS]

HELLLLLLO

any progress with this yet? It's already February and looks like we're less then 3 months away from hitting some of the dates that were voted for. Are we still doing this?

 

[jrSS]

Is this a repeat of last year?? C'mon peeps I need to know dates.....

 

[cyberpunk]

I would love to meet so e of the poeple on here that have helped me out. Indiana is only 2 hours away for me so not out of the question just would need firm date.

 

[big ed]

June 6-8 is what was picked, matt needs to get going on the details.

 

[Boricua SS]

Ok so June won the poll then. Gonna request the time off on Monday. Lets get it going midwest peeps!!!

 

[jrSS]
