I am up for anything! We like camping on the water so we don't have to pull the boat out each day and we usually get more privacy than a campground, but if everyone will be staying at the hotel/campground we will do that instead. Since this will be my first time attending I don't know how it all works

@ Black Widow: The first couple of years I attended it was set up on the beach and the dealer brought out everything for the event the morning of, then tore down a few hours later and we all had a great time. Once the dealer was no longer involved it landed on the "TO's" and a few of us had to step up and in and coordinate everything on our own. This is when it moved to the docks because we didn't want to spend all day setting up and tearing down, we wanted to be out having fun with everyone else. The dock/marina gave us a place to stage the night before or morning or without hauling stuff around the lake. It also provided picnic tables and shade, a great addition in my book! We were able to use the slips for the weekend at little to no charge since we were renting the houseboats as hotels! This year is all new...new location, new attendees and new DEALERSHIP!! Everything is open to suggestion up to a point, then we need to set some things in stone as we did with the location of Temple Bar and date of Sept. 20-22 with the main event (lunch, raffle and hopefully a Pro Rider/s) on Sat. I know some will want to camp on the lake and some in the campground. Others will take the comfort of AC and a shower so the motel works out nice. Regardless, we need to settle on a location for the "event" and decide who is doing what.
Update: I should have a call back from the dealer tomorrow hopefully. I also suggested to them getting a TO profile and start posting on here. I spoke with Ben P and have an email into Jean W, both from Tige for those that might not know either. They have always been HUGE supporters of this event and will hopefully be able to do so again this year. On that note, if anyone has relationships with vendors or companies that may be willing to donate to the event, please contact them and see what you can come up with. We usually list the sponsors on the shirts.....which leads me to my last topic for this post....sorry for the novel! I still have not heard a word if anyone is interested in shirts/tank tops....which doesn't completely hurt my feelings since it's kind of a PITA....but I also like having a new shirt to sport from the event each year!

Bad05... Thank you so much for thinking of us! We truly appreciate it, and can't wait for the event!Comment

Looks like only a few have responded to my previous posts about rooms and shirts, but at this point there doesn't seem to be enough interest in the shirts to pay for a design and set-up fee for @ 10 shirts. I still have a few rooms left in my name, keep in mind I reserved ALL available rooms (11), and they are on a first come first serve basis. I should have more updates today or tomorrow from Tige and Offshore Marine. Has anyone come up with some sponsorship for the raffle?Comment

I enjoy talking to myself so much I'm going to do it again today....
Babe's Boat Care has agreed to send some goodies our in the form of a raffle prize and a goodie for all boat Owner's that attend! I visited the dealer last night and they are excited and will have a new boat for us to use. Dominic Lagace is trying to make the event but we are still working out the details of his travel. Has anyone been able to come up with some other sponsorship for the event? Anyone else looking for a hotel room? Anyone else interested in the shirts/tank tops? This thing is only 6 weeks away.....LETS GO!Comment

Bad05, I have a couple sponsor possibilities in mind... Do you have a form letter from years past, or should I write up a letter myself?Comment
-
Great D&P! I do not have a letter but should definitely write one. I do have some images that we can use, give me a call when you have a chance.
Anyone else?Comment
