By the vote of our members, the date of Wagonfest 2016 has been moved.


Wagonfest 2016 will be held on July 23, 2016 at Seneca Lake State Park in Geneva NY

And another tradition bites the dust

Someone needs a hug...

Over the past ten years, it is correct to say Wagonfest has been held the LAST Saturday of  July.
Considering those same ten years, it has been the fifth Saturday only three times. The other seven times, 70% of the dates,  were the fourth Saturday of July.

So is it a big deal that in future years ( IF it gets held, by me or  others)  30% of the time it would have moved up one week, while 70% of those future dates would be unaffected?  If counting the votes that said it didn't matter which week as they'd still be there. the vote would have been 15 to 6. Overwhelmingly in favor of change.

As it is, discounting that vote as it would make no difference to those people, it was still 10 to 6 in favor of change.

It's no harder to remember the phrase "fourth" than it is last"

The members have spoken. So it is written. So shall it be.

"The members have spoken. So it is written. So shall it be." Eloquent...

I stole it from Yul Brenner in the movie "The Ten Commandments."

God help us,..

Woot!

If GOD moved a whole nation... what's a few wagon kooks showing up a week earlier? Hope it doesn't take 40 years.

...and that our leader actually gets to enter the promised land of Seneca Lake State Park. Moses got a peek, but never made it there.

Leader? who's that.?

I bet if you had

ENOUGH

of a hint you could guess.

Too soon to know if there will be a Watkins Glen even this year?

I would like to attend, and probably bring a friend with an RMW as well...in case there is a loose count going. I saw there was a roll call for the Florida event but haven't seen anything like that for Seneca, NY. I missed the voting-for-the-date thing, so I wouldn't be in that count.

There won't likely be a roll call until July rolls around.  I generally don't start posting things until we hit the 90 day mark.

Here's a link to the Thunder Road Tours (laps at Watkins Glen) I did not find a section where dates that are closed out were posted to see if Friday July 22 was available for us
. Will need to make a call on that issue.

Dave

I just checked with the Microtel for rooms and they said they have no block booked for Wagonfest of Long-roofs...is there a trick to this?

So,. when is wagonfest now??

Same place? or was there a poll for that?

whens fleetwood fest?

Fleetwoodie fest is whenever you organize it.

Thank you for reminding to set up the group rate. I'll take care of it early this week.

Are ascots required for Fleetwood Fest?

Please check the Microtel room thread for making your Wagonfest reservation. There are only five rooms left to reserve for the weekend of Wagonfest.

Call them immediately at 315-539-8438

As we get closer to the date I will begin posting more info. As of this date there is a thread started about motel reservations. If you call Microtel, There were already booked up as of 04/16/2016 but you might be able to get on a cancellation list.


As a important side note, Don't assume there will be another Wagonfest next year.  This may be the last time that I host Wagonfest, So if you intend to get to a Wagonfest at some point, you might really want to push for this year.

So,.. why you abdicating as wagonfest organizer?

Perhaps "retirement after years of faithful service" might be a better term than abdication. If so, bon voyage and thank you.

What if we all vote for Shammoo as the peoples favorite? Would that change your mind?

If only there was somebody on the forum,that was from,I dont know...Somewhere close...Like "Geneva." Maybe that person could be persuaded to try and fill Daves big shoes.

Sounds like some pretty serious business.

Wow,
The last wagon fest for New York. Florida is a long ride.

You forgot the handling and shipping fees, and applicable exchange rate for our Canadian viewers.

Thanks for having my back,Dave.

Hmmm.... I have made no offer. I only know a few quotes from Charles Dickens.

My availability during summers is erratic, as evidenced by my presence at only two Wagonfests to date, even though I can roll down the hill to the lake from my house. I am usually in another part of the US, and not by choice. But, perhaps I could assist the Boss of Bosses with local arrangements.

I picked up the  Wagonfest trophies today 07/1/16, and also finished peeling  (weeding) the window stickers as well.  Still need to add the transfer paper, and make the make the magnetic dash placks.


Dave

Window stickers are now on the transfer tape. Magnetic cards have been printed and mounted. Registration forms and ballots are done. A few thing left to do yet including checking the pantry shelves for condiments and the stuff needed for tables, food prep, clean up etc.

Almost done.

We appreciate all your work on this Dave!

Nick, haven't got the car back from the Transmission shop yet, and my wife is 68 with bad knees and hips.

What else is there left, but typing ?
