Default Ocala Rally Extras

I just wanted to let everyone know the updates. As of now, the hotel is the only thing set up. In the past, we have had a BBQ catered at the hotel on Saturday night. We have had t-shirts, shot glasses, mugs... You name it, we probably had it at one time or another. All of these things do not happen unless someone is willing to step up and take charge of it. That means contacting vendors, collecting money, designing t-shirts or what ever, and making sure the orders are in before the rally.

Please understand I am not posting this thread to try to push anyone into doing anything they do not want to do. I just want everyone to know in advance what has been done. If everyone is okay with just having the hotel and not having t-shirts, BBQ, etc. Then I'm good with that. I just don't want people to show up and start asking "where are the t-shirts... bbq.. etc". Remember, No Rules Just Ride.

I have one last thing..

"IS IT TIME YET!"

Murph, I am planning to be there but currently in London, my dad's passing is imminent. If I can do anything I will try to wrap my head around it when I get home.

If someone wants to do some shirts I will supply them with the information where we have gotten them from over the last few years. They will modify the art free since we are repeat customers. PM me for info if interested.

So sorry about your father Lauren, mine and Lynda's heartfelt condolences are sent to you and your family. I also want to apologize for hijacking this thread Murph.

I have not yet been able to make it to an Ocala Rally, mine and Lynda's birthday is the 21st and we usually are on a trip....this year we are getting married on the 21st and not yet sure where the trip ends up.
