Foreword: This has been approved by Travis "SID297"....Thank you Travis. :rockon:
OK guys, I am planning putting together a big group for the Carlisle All Ford Nationals car show june 5th, 6th and 7th (Fri,Sat,Sun)
This thread will be to keep track of everyone who would like to attend, and to make sure we all register under LIGHTNINGRODDER.COM for purposes of getting some comps from the Carlisle showgrounds
I have setup a good rate and a block of rooms so we can all stay at the same place, safety in numbers, and fun as well.:banana:
Carlisle will also provide us with a 20 foot tent for our club if we can get 25 or more trucks to all register under the same club name of LIGHTNINGRODDER.COM
epper:
This is my first event I will be attempting to plan, I will have the help of my GF who is a professional event planner so hopefully things go smoothly, but I am sure to forget something so all suggestions, and offers of help, etc. will be happily accepted.
Here is the link to the show info: Carlisle Events All-Ford Nationals. Experience The Cars. The People. The Excitement.
And here is the registration link: Carlisle Events All-Ford Nationals. Experience The Cars. The People. The Excitement.
It is imperative if or when you register to put LIGHTNINGRODDER.COM in the section where it says "CLUB" type it in all caps and NO SPACES, then post up here with your name and if possible confirmation number from your registration so I may keep tabs on our group size, I hope we can hit 25 but if we don't it will still be a blast.
Showfeild registration for the three days is about $40, and includes admission for a guest as well.
I will update this thread with info as I make progress.
Thanks guys

A few other things
Beverages: I will be buying a decent quantity of soda, water, etc. so everyone has something cold to drink.
Seating: I have 3 or 4 of those cloth foldy chairs, I will bring them all, so I will have at least one or two spares for people to use, but if you have chairs or extras please bring them.
Tents: I know I burn easy, and need somewhere to hang the LR banner, so I will bring my 8' x 8' easy up tent, if we do manage to get 25 confirmed trucks registered we will have a 20' x 20' tent provided to us by Carlisle, but I'll bring mine anyway, and if anyone else has one, then please feel free to bring it along too.
FOOD !!!!: As many of you may know, there is no shortage of food vendors at Carlisle, but it can get expensive, and last time I was there we were not harassed for using SMALL grills, being a city dweller I do not own one, but if anyone has a somewhat portable propane grill, and could bring it along it would be much appreciated. Myself and others will bring some burgers, dogs, etc. if you would like to bring some too please let me know.
Once we know how many people will be showing and we have a confirmed grill or three being brought by someone, I will make sure to to get burgers, dogs, sausages, or whatever so we are all well fed at the show.
If anyone would like to bring anything for the show please let me know Via PM so I can keep track, and re-confirm with you prior to the show.
Questions? PM me, or click on my AIM link in my sig.
