Have the e-mails went out yet for the 2010 Rally link ? (post said Jan 4) This will be our first opportunity to attend the national rally and just want to make sure we haven't missed the e-mail.

 

[Louise Burton]

Hopefully not - I have been looking for mine as well....

 

[jbeletti]

Email has NOT been sent out as of 1:36 PM CST on 1/5/10.

When I made the commitment, I was a day off in my head. Oops!

And I had some other things to finish up first. Working on programming the rally registration website "right now". It will take the better part of the day to finish and test. Hope to get email to club members out tonight.

I see we had a couple people join the club since my first post on this. That's great. I'll put the call out once again - if you are not yet a Heartland Owners Club member and you want to save $25 on your rally registration for Nashville, use the links in post 1 of this thread to learn more about the club and to join.

Hi Jim
Wondering what the cost of registration is for the rally ?
Thanks Bill

Big big problem---we have to change the rally dates

I can't imagine missing a National Rally. I have made it to every one since we started. So bummed but trying to come up with a plan.

We recently were informed that there will be a family wedding on the 17th of July. What are the odds? My wife is not happy that I am chosing the rally over family but....well....umm....some family are closer than others.

So to calm the waters I figured it would be much easier to upset the 100's of Heartland owners by moving the date of the Rally and keeping the peace here at home. (chirp,chirp,chirp........crickets everywhere). That's whatthought, no takers huh? Well it doesn't hurt to ask.

What a way to start off the new year.

Later all,
Mark

 

[jbeletti]

Well, good try Mark - but you knew you'd have a better chance of me moving the rally date if you would have called me instead of posting your request

Just kidding. But seriously, you're risking things on the home-front by choosing the rally over the family wedding. Unless you're saying the whole family is coming to the rally and blowing off the family wedding.

And who decides 6 months out that their getting married?

Anyway - we can't have a rally without you so I may have to send in all my deposits and then cancel everything Not!

I dont know what the problem is, I have made it clear in our family that there is to be no weddings, births, parties, family reunions etc., etc., etc. during the summer months, That way no one will be upset if we miss them because of sailboat races or rallies. Now my problem is there is a rally and a sailboat race at the same time. Now what do I do????
BTW when my younger brother got married some 20 years ago I did make it to the wedding and the sailboat race. As he was walking down the aisle I was walking in the front door. Talk about close.

Hey Mark,,, maybe you could hire an actor or double to take your place at the wedding...Most people are looking at the bride and groom anyway....

Yeah,, but,,,Nawww...never mind,,, never find a double for you....never mind...forget it... just thinking outloud...

[Razorback]

Confirmed, we're registerd!!!

 

[kkamshop]

14th to register!

 

[boatto5er]

We're registered! Our first National Rally. Can't wait - plan on being part of a fairly large East Coast contingent. Did somebody say convoy?

 

[Flying Dutchman]

We're registered also. Can't wait for this rally season to start. Lets see, SC, then NC, followed by NJ, then PA, TN, and finally NY. Could there be some more?

 

[sharmulst]

Just registered for the rally this morning. Sorry we missed last year, but this will be our 4th rally. Looking forward to meeting old friends and making new.

 

[Louise Burton]

2 more ( 4 if you count the mutts)

 

[jbeletti]

We're at 29 rigs registered as of 5:22 CST on 1/6/2010. Not bad for less than 24 hours.

I am amazed. Each year it sells faster than the last.

Jim,

Will there be the number of vendors and Heartland reps there like I have heard about in Goshen. I am not sure I can do both 2010 and 2011 in Goshen so I want to get the biggest bang for my buck. I want to see all these goodies I have been reading about up close and in person.

Hey Jim
You're still a day off, it is January 6th today
