Expo 2017

Hey TGO,

Has the date/locale been set for 2017? I'm starting to plan out my trips for the summer and would like the expo to be on it .

I'll actually have my car this year!

Sorry, didn't see this post. Right now we're planning for the Sunday before Memorial Day weekend. I've got to get with Jeremy and work out the details. We'll have an announcement shortly. Thanks!

Re: Expo 2017

How about Saturday instead? You'll get more participation if you don't make people choose between this and church and holiday family gatherings.

Re: Expo 2017

Jeremy and I are working out the details. I posted a big thing on FB last year to see what day would be most popular.

Lots of people work on Saturdays and couldn't make it. We are shooting for the Sunday BEFORE the Memorial Day Weekend.

Re: Expo 2017

It's okay, the Saturday work crowd usually loses out on a lot of things so I'm glad they get to enjoy this.

Re: Expo 2017

I'm planning on being there this year. Trying to get my IROC ready for regular driving kept me from coming to the last two. Fixing a couple more things and it should be all ready to go this year.
