EVENT: Heartland Regional Rally: NV, Sparks Nevada - 7/1/2011 to 7/4/2011

I'm leaving Redding around 1:00 or so on Thursday. (I have to work a half day) We're going 44/89/395 as the road is good with minimal long pulls except for the Shingletown and Old Station Grades. Anyone that wants to go a little later in the day is welcome to go with us, or we'll watch for you as we travel. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Dang!! I have to be in Sparks and all set up by 1pm. Sarah has to see the doc and I am either watching Paige or going with Sarah. It would have been fun to follow you guys down the road.

I wish we could be there.Kristy

We wish you the best Kristy. Keep us posted on your results. We will have a mudslide in your honor.

How about a rootbeer float? I'm not really up to mudslides right now.

Dan & Sally Sullivan will be leaving in the AM(thursday) This will be our 2nd campout with the Heartland Group.
Looking forward to seeing some of you that we met last year at Solvang and to new camping friends.

I want to post my thanks to Jim Dawson and all of the leadership involved in the Sparks, Nevada Western Regional Rally last weekend. I ESPECIALLY WANT TO THANK HEARTLAND FOR ITS FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF THE RALLY in paying for 1) The meat (Tri Tip and Chicken) at the potluck, 2) Buffet dinners at the Eldorado Hotel Casino, 3) Show tickets to the Illuminare show at the Eldorado, 4) Gift raffle prizes for everyone. If you multiply this out for two people in a rig, Heartland gave out almost twice the cost of a 3 year owner's club membership (I finally joined up over the weekend) just at this one rally.
We had a great time socializing, enjoying the Reno/Sparks area, and the nearby fireworks we could easily watch from the RV park on the 4th.
Let's do this again - Maybe Las Vegas next September???

Edit 7/6/11 Here's some pics from the rally:

Hi Bill,

Glad you had a great time at the rally! Sponsorship of the regional and my larger North American rally are important to Heartland. It's a sort of "give back / thank you" to product owners. Same can be said of the dozens of chapter rallies all across North America each year.

Jim

Dan & I want to Thank the "team" who put together a Great 5 days. This was our 2nd experience and we had a Blast.
Thank you for the food, gifts, dinner & show. We also enjoyed great networking about our different RV.s We met new friends, and visited with ones we had met at the Solvang rally last year. Happy Trails to all.
Sally & Dan Sullivan

Hi from John and Lori

We wanted to thank every one that came to the first Annual Pacific Regional Rally. Every one had a great time and are looking forward to the next one.

I just posted the pictures in the owners gallery. I will be posting more later.

We also wanted to thank every one that gave a helping hand at making this a great rally.

Gail and I want to thank John Dawson and Heartland for the rally in Sparks, NV over the 4th of July, we certainly enjoyed everything. The tri-tip and chicken provided for the pot-luck were excellent and the cooks should be complimented. The prizes donated by Heartland after the dinner was certainly a nice surprise. The buffet dinner and show at the El Dorado was one of the highlights of the rally and very much appreciated. The fireworks observation site at the RV park was a good end to a very enjoyable rally. We are looking forward to next years Pacific Regional Rally.
