Cool!

You'd better go ahead and get it on the ORV park calendar so we don't lose that weekend.

Where do I sign up?? Let me know what I can do to help get this thing off the ground. Maybe we should have a planning meeting sometime soon? I was told that Josh and Lance will be heading up this way in March to wheel at Disney with Wadeunderwater, sounds like a good time to have a planning meeting.

Subject: Re: ArTTORA event,

can we work out some deal so we can have registration set up ?? kinda like the RLC did for the Ramble in June ??

Sure, how do you want to do it? They handle all of theirs online, and someone collects via mail. They then cut me a check the weekend of.

I can also do online registration so everyone can pay via paypal.

Unless you are going to do T-shirts or have over 100 rigs show up it is just as easy for me to just handle everything in the office the day of.

Just let me know how you want to do it.

-BJ

OK so BJ, Lance, Paul, Josh, what and how do we want to do??

I for one want Tshirts, and Rolands BBQ, i would really want them to bring the trailer out and cook on site this year which requires a headcount of 75 people, we were really close to that last year

Let me think on it for a few days. We got 9 months. I don't want to create more work than we can handle at this point. T-shirts, BBQ, and pre-registration are good ideas, but I don't want to be a event-nazi about it and give people reasons not to come. I kinda liked the openness of it and I think that's what made it a success. We do need a way to get an accurate head count.

[ArkieTaco]

I'm in! Let me know what I can do. As for the get together (Disney) let's get a set date so some of us can plan ahead.

[andrewmch]

Josh you're absolutely right, we don't want to create more work for us then we can handle. Lets keep it simple and fun. Do the raffle thing again, T-shirts, and a dinner.

Glen,

Do you have any local friends that are in a band and might want to play some music at our dinner banquet?

Really? My b-day is the 17th as well. I'll probably be wheeling at Hot Springs that Saturday the 16th, but nothing is set in stone yet.

right, i dont want things to get complicated, but how much will tshirts cost?? and the meal is roughly $10 a head

Glen,

nobody that i know, Josh you know any bands?? we could put a ad in the Gazette

[colsoncj]

I used to know a couple bands... could try and check them out and see if they're interested if need be. all three out of springfield, but might do it.

Subject: Arkansas bands for a gig in September
Body: Yep, this year the Arkansas Toyota Territory Offroad Association Ar-ttora.com, wishes to have a local band play at our BBQ dinner during our offroading event at the Superlift Offroad Park in Hotsprings Arkansas.

This event will be September 19th thru the 21st, with the dinner and music to be held on Saturday the 20th. We would like to have either Country or Southern Rock,
Rap musicians will be TARRED AND FEATHERED

so if anyone knows of a band that fits please contact me or sign up and post here http://www.ttora.com/forum/showthrea...ewpost&t=92109

[79coyotefrg]

i have a thread on Arkansas crawlers, looks like a good idea http://arkansascrawlers.com/main/for...7018#post27018

[MrsWillyMammoth]

Just my humble opinion..between the choices of country or southern rock, I think southern rock would be a more all around choice. There are a lot of people that are not fond of country and people that are not fond of rock but southern rock seems to bridge that gap.

I am penciling this in on our calender. We will have to plan a long weekend.

[unclejpl4x4]

Count me in I had a great time last yr

I vote t-shirts would be cool or and event stickers 2anual ar-ttora @ superlift somthing or other

+ if we could get the whole park just for the event that would be great. I don't mind paying a little extra


O and all i have 2 say is some one better take me 2 a toothless girly bar this year.

[ArkieTaco]

Sweet, Toothless girly bars here we come!!!!

When do tickets go on sale? If I pinch a little from my lucnch money each week I might be able to buy a few tickets before the actual event.

[79coyotefrg]
