Are kids welcome to the rally? Is the cruise discounted more for kids?

 

[NWTFHunter]

More information on the dinner cruise cost. The usual cost for the 2 hour dinner cruise is $39.95 for adults and $21.95 for children 7-13 years. I have been quoted a group price that is discounted $3.00 per person so I asume that applies to children also if part of our group. Groups need to be paid by one person so I'll do that and each family can reimburse me.

 

[happykraut]

Just made reservations. We are in site F4 and will be arriving on sun. Now on to the Wisconsin and Michigan rallies.

 

[Tumblebug]

Made our reservations today. When do you want to be paid for the Riverboat, dinner for two please.

Happy fence painting and tall tales!

[NWTFHunter]

Great Jim,
I'll add your names to the list. As far as payment for the dinner cruse you can do that when you are at the Rally. The cost will be about $35 per person and will depend on our final number. There will be more information as we get closer to the date.

 

[PandBStandiford]

Hey Michael,
Well we've decided to leave our "summer home" here in the Medicine Bow National Forest in Wyoming and go to the MO rally! Hope everyone will accept our dirty 5er & truck. The 5er hasn't been washed since we left MO to go to the Gillette Rally, and it's so dusty where we are volunteering, I'll wash the truck and 1/2 hr later you can't really tell it was washed! Also like Don & Diane said, if it isn't too late sign us up for the cruise also. We'll be taking our time driving cross country, and may arrive early, just have to take it as it comes. Looking forward to seeing everyone again!

 

[happykraut]

Sally & Roy, glad to see that you're coming. Looking forward to seeing you. Sally, I should have some Munzees waiting for you to capture. I noticed you're still sitting at 565 points. Bernie

Bernie,
Sally has been have EXTREME withdrawals from Munzees since Cody. #1 is that I think she only saw 1 in about 40 miles from where we were, #2 is that the app stopped working. She just got it squared away a few minutes ago. We are spending the night in Cabela's campground in Sidney, NE, and from the sounds of things (thanks to you) we won't be making any time tomorrow. She's already telling me she's going to have to stop at almost every rest stop. You are going to pay when we get to Hannibal!!!!!!

 

[MaryandSteve]

OK the Maisacks just made reservations. we are in site C23. Last minute. We would like to do the cruise also. We will be there on Thursday. See you all there.
