Thats not true DOC, we have a run in Wisconsin third weekend in Sept hosted by Bar City Vans in LaCrosse.

I also think a winter Nats would take away from Council of Councils, I consider that my winter Nats.

Also I think you would take numbers away by holding two Nats

Once upon a time there were 5 "national" type events...

Van Fair North, South, East, and West, along with the Annual Truck-In. Too much promotion killed all but one...I think Lone Star still hosts VFS. East turned in to Butler, North turned into the Great Northern Boogie...

Maryland Van Council still holds their Eastern Van Nationals, but I'm not sure if that was ever a "Nationals" type evant.

hmmmmmm like Doc said: there is an event or 2 or 3 almost every month. If you have 2 Nats then other events may suffer.
Natz in July & C of C in Feb to bring everyone together works great.
& like alot of people who live in the snow belts - we don't drive our van in the winter.

I think there is no doupt that most Vanners agree that the Council of Councils is nothing more to most to them as a Winter Nationals. I too express the same feeling.
As in regards to having it in the lower 48, it is up to the Councils to put forward a bid. Southern California is putting in a bit for 2011 at the same Hotel at the same room price as before from what I have heard and I hope they do and win the bid. We also have the Vegas Hotel who really what us back, and of course there is Flordia. But......What happened to Texas? They have not put in a bid in a long time and no C of C since 1990. Maybe they are way over due. Just a thought.

OK, so it sounds like it was a BAD idea. Oh, well back to thinking about custom ideas grin
