Rick, Tommy, Ken and Louis did an awesome job of setting up our cruise routes, lunch stops and an all around great week. Mike and Dottie Blanche put together a fun Poker Run / Road Rally which provided entertainment and laughs for a number of us and then the SHOW and SHINE at Arkansas State university. I know some even went back for what I was told was one heck of a FIreworks Show~~
While I would like to list everyone that helped in anyway to make our event, fun, special, enjoyable and memorable, I fear that I will miss someone and do not want to do that so I will suffice to say " THANK YOU " to everyone that helped and all of you that attended!! Without YOU, there is no event, or reason to gather around the country. My hope is that for those of you attending your first event or one of your few events, that you got a taste of what we mean when we say the NTBA Family. Many of you expressed this sentiment to me throughout the week and I appreciated hearing from you
! As I said at the meeting we still have a number of GREAT opportunties to gather in some pretty cool places!! San Diego CA for the So-CAL 101, Pidgeon Forge for Ron's event, Yakima WA for the Western Regionals, Lake of the Ozarks, MO for the MO Mini Nats, Freds Fun Run, Bill Darr's Artesia Run, Punkuns Quincy Tin-Dusters..... I hope you can take time and get to one of these events and I PROMISE you will not be disappointed at ANY of them!
