Everyone has a different experience when they go to a van run.

seeing new/young/2nd gen vanners there with their own vans and showing, and even winning!
the great photo shoot, even without the walking eye candy, seeing those vans lined up as they were was beautiful.

On the tops of my list are Side trips to Long Trout Winery and also the Vanners night out at Cousins Pub. Could be because when I was there I wasnt working!LOL The Junk Yard tour was fun too however a little bit too hot on a hangover!
The great people I got to converse with all week is definatly a highlight too, and of coarse serving U up at the blender party on Friday was fun for me too! went thru aprox 10 half gallons of rum n vodka and many many mixers in about 2.5 hours! WOW
The HUGE nightlight show was also VERY nice... | | | Re: What was the highlight for you at the 2009 Nationals | Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 82 journeyman | journeyman Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 82 | I loved seeing the delighted faces and hearing the stories of the vanners who found their van(s) on the bar.
The one-on-one time I usually spend with a vanner (try to do that on a daily basis, and it's something I try to do at each eVANt I attend).
The scenery of the countryside.
The accomodating host club. Thank you.
