Kurk all ready has his eye on a bigger place for Vanners to hang out at next year.....
In my personal opinion the Van Invasion of Carlisle's "Truck Nationals" was a HUGE success.

Imitation is the ultimate complement.....

It would be nice to see groups of vanners from other vanning "Hot Spots" doing "Van Invasions" at non van events next summer season

Let's do a Van Flash Mob van


Not sure if we have good equipment for doing a "Flash" mob.

Hey...BUT HERE'S an IDEA!!! I've been seeing on TV a thing called a "CASH MOB"...a group of folks gather at a local business ( unsuspecting)and spend money. How cool would it be if THAT CROWD were all in vans!!!! COOL CUSTOM VANS!!! we pick a spot ( like an eatery )....line it all up with fellow vanners, call the media.....see what happens! YOU KNOW the business owner will get a kick out of it..They'll be takin pictures and putting it ALL OVER THEIR RESTRAUNT, showing their fellow restrauntures and business associates (GOOD PR for US).the MEDIA will be ALL OVER IT ( putting it on local TV news for all to see) the NEXT time we call and "leak" information..they will want to be there as well.
These types eVANts could be staged all over the country and produce a POSITIVE light like none other.We would just need to be careful about turning the perception into a BAD thing ( crazed bikers ( vanners) mobbing and disrupting business). I suppose the restraunt would likely need to be informed ( so they could SERVE the capacity and have room for us). I KNOW a couple places right around here we could TRY it on.We would need to do it in the daylight so it COULD be filmed easily, so THAT makes if have to be a weekend. There IS a PLACE RIGHT in Airville that I'd LOVE to do this to! AND its close to Belly Acres, so there would be a bonus as everyone would get a chance to see the place.
ANY INTEREST???? Call me 800-495-VANS

Sick minds think a like.
I have been talking to a local Buffalo Wild Wings.
They have great parking lot where close to 20 vans can set by them selves and we can see them all from inside of the restaurant.
The Vans can also be seen from the busy intersection of Rt 24.

Thanks for posting the survey info Phil. It specifically mentions Vanarama in it, so it's important that we get everyone who went to fill it in.
It was great to be a small part of this. This turned into a much bigger event than anyone imagined. In my travels last week I spoke to a number of vanners who said that they want to be part of it next year if it happens again. I'll do what I can again to help Kurk encourage vanners to attend. Kurk hit the ball out of the park with this event this year. There's no doubt in any of the vanners minds who have met or dealt with Kurk that he is a true blue vanner who happens to also be one of the few vendors left selling van parts.
