I am a newbie. and plan on driving down to the Midwest classics rally in Houston, MN May 14th. Not bringing my coach(not quite that road ready).

I have not met any other GMCer up in this area. So I hope to make some contacts at the rally.

I plan on driving down early on Saturday, spend the day, have a Hotel room in lacrosse for Saturday night and head back sunday. I believe my wife and two daughters are coming, but they are probably going to do other stuff in the area.

I do not see too many upper midwestern people on this forum, so i was wondering if there was anybody else going to that rally from the forum.?

Hi Jon; Lucy Weidner here, President of the Midwest Classics, looking forward to seeing you and your family down there. It will be our 20th anniversary celebration. There is a cost for the catered meal which will be around $12.00 per person ( I think that's the amount). No charge for the rally. We'll be down there either Wed. or Thurs. of that week. See you soon.

I need to tell someone to put down 2 more for dinner Saturday. What a nice surprise that somehow everything worked out so that we are going to be able to make this one. Of course the week after we are headed north to go fishing, that is if the ice is off the lakes around OrrMN then. See yous there!

Talk about buried information Š How does a web user get to the first
listing? Clicking on Rallys (misspelled) doesn't get you there.

Hum. I was looking for the better explanation which is in the newsletter.
Otherwise, you get the dates and location with no other info. Just an
observation on my part.
