As you can see from the location vote thread, the majority voted for the Upper Midwest (SD, MN, WI).

Now what we need are some suggestions as to where exactly it should be in that area (and when).  You will VERY MUCH help your suggestion get selected if you are willing and able to put together an agenda, much like Bob Jett and his wife did for Colorado Springs and Clint and his wife did for Charleston.

So, who would like to start the bidding? Beer

LOTS of fun things to do and see in "Cheddarland" and "The Land of 10,000 Puddles".  I think between EAGLESNEST, SUNDEW, myself and others in the area we can come up with an agenda that will knock some socks off...!!!

Frank, Wally, and I have had a couple of conversations about where and when.  Lots of options on the where part so once we have a few places with activites roughed in we'll list them out for a vote.  There are several timeframes to look at also and those can change the activities a little.  Mid-May is usually wonderful, mid-June (somewhat spaced equally between Memorial Day and the 4th of July) is a tad warmer but still nice, and mid-September is usually quite wonderful.  July and August are usually hot and humid (with lots of bugs too) so would tend to shy away from those two months.
 
We'll have some options up for discussion by the end of this month.  We're also open to suggestions on things to do so feel free to e-mail or PM if there is something in particular you'd like to see and/or do.
