No pre-rally.

Motorcade page on FT's site has a South Central chapter rally right before the GV. Chapter rallies usually welcome all MC members, regardless of which chapter you belong to, but check with the rally contact(s) to be sure.

There is a post-rally-Lil Taste of the Smokies.

Short Motorcade trip event. I wonder if there will be lots of crockpots and grape jelly/BBQ sauce for those little Smokies

I have a goal of making this GV this year. It will be close and it might take me a couple days to drive there too but i hope to be there. DO not know when the 800 miles days will start up again. Maybe a change of pace and try the 150-200 mile days for a bit.

Brad,

I oick up my coach at Tennessee RV on Monday AM and attend my first GV next week. Looking forward to it.

Hope Michelle finds the FoFums window sign that we can print out to identify ourselves...

There's a FoFum window sign? We'd like to identify ourselves that way as well at the Grandvention.

We were also thinking it'd be really nice to have a T shirt or baseball caps available for sale with an incription that shows we are forum members. Just thinking.

Looking forward to meeting all you forum folks.

We had a sign for last year's GV - I have been meaning to search the forum for the file. I seem to recall Harvey N. printed some out for folks - maybe he has the file readily available?

We do have a logo (or should I say logos since there are a couple variations due to fabric/color customization) for Tshirts, polos, jackets, hats, tote bags, fleece throws, etc. on file at Lands End Business Outfitters, but there isn't enough time to get stuff made up before this year's GV. We promise next year we'll be on top of it.

Michelle,
Not sure if this might be of help or not.
I had made up a sign of our own (8.5"X11"), using the same layout as our business card that we hand out in our FoFum recruiting.
We put it on photo stock, laminated it and often put it in the windshield.
It is done with Microsoft Power Point, which many of us travel with.
So, it's easy to edit to one's choosing.

Wish we had been in Boothbay and were headed to the GV right now, but we are still pursuing getting the house on the market. We are getting closer all the time, but not quite there yet. 37 years in one house sure makes closure difficult, but the renovations are essentially complete and we're down to the final dumpster stage. We will try to sell furnished, so there's likely to be one more agonizing phase before we are done.

I have attached (I think) the a slightly stripped down version - if you have powerpoint and wish to use, just delete our names and put yours in there - since my Motorcade Number is on top of coach front and rear, i took it out of the sign. Will laminate and proudly display in the windshield Next week at GV.

If anyone will be at GV and needs me to print one of these off for you, just send me a PM with the exact names you want on the card, I will make it up and bring it with me to GV.

I looked and didn't find it. Probably lousy naming/filing.

I have the file and will print "generic" ones and bring them with me to the GV. If you want a "Custom" one with your name, Private message me on the forum with the names you would like on it and I will create it, print it and bring it to the GV if you like, you will just have to find me there!
