Just back from the spring OFV all vanners meeting. We're celebrating Vanfest 13 this year and unfortunately this could very well be the last one headed up by Kevin. He has plans on moving to the east coast.
If there is such a thing as a one man show, this is it folks. Vanfest without Kevin would not be happening today at all or not the way we know it. So to make damned sure that regardless of where he lives we're going to pull out all the stops to make this one extra special so that we will be able to convince him to haul his @ss back here from where ever he lives to head this up next year.

As I was going to keep this quiet but I spoke to Bob Ryder from Truckin' last week about coverage for Vanfest. Ya I know nothing happened with the Nats last year but that has a lot to do with the reaction I got when the photos were submitted. At the time I also had way too many distractions happening that got me away from that task at hand. I have plenty of nay sayers saying it won't work but that may just be in my facor. With Vanfest we will have some of the nicest vans on the planet there and if that is not enough we will have some of the nicest pickups from Canada as well from as far away as New Jersey. My main concern during Vanfest will be to get the best pictures possible put together for this. We'll do separate photoshoots away from the hustle and bustle for the vans on the Friday and the other trucks on Saturday and Sunday. I have some pretty neat ideas of stuff to do with Nautilus and Alpine in mind.

I have plenty of motivation to do my part to make this event the biggest and best ever just in case it is the last one and the end of an era. I might have to call in some favors to do what needs to be done. I'm hoping to get some help with this from my buddies who have always been there to help out.

Funny, being just down the road a couple hours, and this will be only my 2nd time there. Albeit, my 3rd attempt to get there, as 1st try never quite made it.

I really wish I could've made the meeting today (damn b-day dinner, was good though) given this new info. that Doug has passed along. Hopefully we can make Kevin see how much we need him around, too make Van Fest happen properly. Either that, or Kevin is going to have to train the right people to take over.

Sorry Charley, I have nothing to do with running VanFest, I only show up myself lol

You need to contact the number on the flyer, however usually you just show up at the gate and they have a list....

Just got back to Geoff's from the after the meeting party at John and Annie's....We pretty much talked about the fact that if Kevin is really going to retire, he needs to hold someone's hand and make the necessary introductions in order for the event to continue...The staff is committed! Here are few pics from the party...

Darn it all Howard, missed you again ! Must have been a nice surprise for Geoff and Sonya to see you there, they definately had no clue and I did not think you would be there only after the meeting. Thanks for the A100 by the way.
I'm going to talk to Kevin today, did not get a chance to talk him personally about all this, kinda threw me for a loop.
Charley what's the deal with your pre-reg ? Send me a pm and I will get the info to Kevin. If you just need confirmation that you are pre-reg I can do that here. Kevin has received Gary and Jim's pre-regs.
Another idea will be to follow in the footsteps of Roger and Leadfoot and do up an early lineup at Vanfest (to prime them up for Bakers a week later}. Don't know how but we seem to get more earlies every year at all events. We'll have a few fresh ones roll through the gates this year likely from all makes.
