Update!
Alright. Here's the scoop so far.
Camping will be available at the Skip-A-Way resort in Clermont. You can call them at (800)728-1167. They have 30 spots available to us for the weekend. Right now, the price is $21/night for full hook-ups (with a $2 surcharge for those who want to run A/C)and $14/night for no hookups. They are reserved under the name "Amusement Ride". This is a Good Sam park so if you have a membership, the rates will be lowered. If you want to become a member they'll get you taken care of. I have the spots somewhat centrally located so we can shmooze after the events of the day are done. Just an FYI, if we fill all 30 we will get a pretty good discount.
As for the events, Friday will be setup (for me) and registration. Saturday, we will start trucks on the dyno at 8:00am. We will run to 5:00pm with a break at 12 for 30 minutes for lunch. Contests for the dyno competition will end by 5:00. We will still be able to run on the dynos on Sunday from 8:00 to 2:00. But since the competitions will be over, they won't count for the prizes (obviously).
If you're not going to dyno, there will be a few contests that will be done for fun. Sort of along the lines of the Divorce Derby (obsitcle course), some of you have participated in before. There will be prizes for these events also.
On Saturday night, I would like to have a pot luck at the campground. The one we had last time was great (Linda, you need to bring those special brownies you made. UFF DA!). I would like to break down the food requests like this. Minnesotans, bring deserts (except the aforementioned Linda
). Iowegians, we get to bring side stuff. Salads, veggies, chips, etc. 'Sconnies are relegated to hot dishes (do you think they'll all bring vienna sausages?). Of course these are only guidelines. If there's something you really want to bring, or you're really famous for, then by all means. Just don't spend too much on it. I think $20 per dish would be a fair maximum.
I am working on some auctions, but for now I don't have any. I will have a couple of items to 'raffle' off. After we're back at the campground. All the contest winners will be announced at the dinner also. Drawings for prizes will be held at the end.
I am working on trophies, but we'll have to wait and see.
One final thing. As you can see, there is a ton of stuff that will be going on. I need volunteers to help me. More specifically, I need people to help load and unload the dynos, run the derby, video documentation, and some other miscellaneous stuff. Please let me know if you can volunteer. You don't have to do it all day, but please let me know so I can make sure I have enough people to make this thing run smooth. Thanks.
If anyone has questions, please post them. We'll try to get them answered as soon as we can. Hope to see you there.
