So sign us up, we'll be there.

would there be interest in having a tour organized to visit one of the John Deere factories? Those of us that went to the
JD tractor factory had a good time. There are tours of tractors, combines, engines or ag equipment such as cotton pickers at the different plants in iowa.

David,

I thought the Deere tour was GREAT! I'll bet others will want to do it. As it's a half-day sort of thing with commute time - this might even be a pre-rally item, say Wednesday - week of the rally.

Anyone considering this rally, if tractors and factory tours interest you - strongly consider indicating your your desire for this tour.

Re: EVENT: Heartland Regional Rally: IA, Amana - 9/27/2014 to 10/5/2014

Bob and Pat, looking forward to seeing you again in Amana.

David that sounds like a great idea. Let's do it!

Re: EVENT: Heartland Regional Rally: IA, Amana - 9/27/2014 to 10/5/2014

It may be possible to do back to back tours of both the tractor and engine works. Both are located in waterloo.

Re: EVENT: Heartland Regional Rally: IA, Amana - 9/27/2014 to 10/5/2014

Would there be interest in having a golf outing at the Amana golf course located just a few miles from the amana rv park?

Hi Jay & Stella, We weren't able to make this year's Iowa rally, but count us in for the regional rally next year !

Re: EVENT: Heartland Regional Rally: IA, Amana - 9/27/2014 to 10/5/2014

Thats great to hear Jerry, looking forward to next year.

Judi and I will be there. Two different sets of dates are given, so not sure yet when we will arrive.

Re: EVENT: Heartland Regional Rally: IA, Amana - 9/27/2014 to 10/5/2014

Ok, Jay, pencil us in as Peggy wants a little more diversity . . . it is going to be tight getting back to Texas for the Bullard rally, but I think we can do it. I don't know the dates yet, but will probably arrive the 27th and depart on the 5th. Mike

Re: EVENT: Heartland Regional Rally: IA, Amana - 9/27/2014 to 10/5/2014

I'm sorry for the confusion on the dates. I reserved the sites for the entire week, including the rally hall. We will be using the hall that is next to the office this time. If you want to come in and stay all week and explore the area, including the John Deere factory tour that will be great. The actual rally dates are the Oktoberfest weekend, October 3-5th.

Bernie and Judi and Peg and Mike, I'll add you to the list.

Add the Mangums to this one - an extra long run from Tomball when you have a J-O-B, but we are really looking forward to it

Re: EVENT: Heartland Regional Rally: IA, Amana - 9/27/2014 to 10/5/2014

Tom, you and Marti are added. You'll love Amana and the Octoberfest!

Re: EVENT: Heartland Regional Rally: IA, Amana - 9/27/2014 to 10/5/2014

We will arrive on Tue 9/23 and leave on 10/7. I'm definitely interested on another John Deere tour. See you all then.

Darn. I'm right here local to the rally but I'll be busy both weekends. Have fun.
