After I have the final roster settled out, we'll need to plan a get together and go over the event. It will be preliminary of course, but at least our ducks will be pointing in the same general direction.

Something big? They'd like a Jeep show and they mean it!

Okay everyone, here is a message I got today from Emporia Main Street...

My name is Casey Woods and I represent Emporia Main Street. We are helping Jim, Kristi and other community volunteers with the Dirty Kanza finish line party. For the event, we have the 900 Block of Commercial Street reserved for a Jeep show that includes all the individuals associated with your group and anyone else that you believe should participate. Do you have some time soon that we could discuss the Jeep Show and finalize this addition to the Dirty Kanza 200 Mile Bike Race?

I think this means they'd like us to put on a Jeep show and they mean it! This is *sorta* news for me but I think it is a great opportunity for us, and a probably a really good opportunity to involve the Flint Hills club if they are interested.

Thoughts, comments, ideas?

can we wheel over parked cars and such ?

can we wheel over parked cars and such ?

Well, I don't know. I hope to talk with him tomorrow so I'll know more about what we can do. I am certain we can stack wheels and bring an RTI ramp to show some articulation, but I imagine that they are going to want stuff static for the event for insurance liability reasons.... but if someone wanted to slap a junker on a flat bed and pull a Jeep on top of the junker, they might let us. Good idea, but we gotta figure out how to pull it off.

Okay, here is the area they have set aside for the Jeep show... It is BIG. Let's come up with something, anything, that will give us a good showing.

I think it is a GREAT idea to invite Flint Hills Jeep Club ( I was thinking this too when reading) and any other Jeeps from neighboring communities (KA*MO???). Good pubic relations opportunity..
