Happy to have been able to help in a very small way compared to your generosity in the summer of 2004 towards my family when we were moving here.
Your making many of us jealous reading about your adventures this summer.
The generosity of vanners is truly incredible and that is being displayed time and time again through the stories we read here on the forums. vanning.com has helped many of us become acquainted even though we may live miles apart and has helped us become good friends once we do meet seeing we are able to stay in contact year round.

Sorry I didn't get to have over to my house Doc. That probably would have been a bit out of the way for you in your travels.

When you do 5 Prairie Fires in a row, a Sasquatch won't be the only thing you see lol

On a side note, Sasquatch sitings are down ever since Howard Stern stopped taking long naked walks through the Washington Mountains

When I went to University in BC we called a Prairie Fire "Sasquatch" because it put hair on your A$$

Ooooo here's the Maryland locations. Hey Luke..says there's a Hooters in Waldorf. We drove through there on the way to Freeze Out, but I don't remember seeing a Hooters. It probably was too early to stop in anyway.

When Hooters had only one location, I started going there on a regular basis. As they added more I kept a list. I lost the list, but I am around 80 locations visited. At one point I had tried everything on the menu. (except the gourmet chicken wings) Now that they expanded the menu, I am lost...
Posted By: Wackovanner Re: Vanner's Largess & Open Doors - January 22nd 2009 3:30 pm
Not to far behind you Howard. I have been to 55 Hooters. From Canada to Australia. I have a Tee shirt from every one.
It is sad that I have some shirts from Hooters that no longer exist.
We use to have three locations here in the Portland area. Now we are down to one but it is only four miles away.
BTW, I was with you on the Tampa Hooters tour one time. We did Lakeland, Clearwater, and Port Ritchey. That was a great day.

No problems on me finding a hooters anywhere Cloudy www.hooters.com is on my speed dial, #1 !!!!!!! lol

Will I see you and Mrs Cloudy at Ocala, or at your place ???
Posted By: on the road Re: Vanner's Largess & Open Doors - January 23rd 2009 2:23 am
I have quite a few shirts fom now closed locations. My worst experience was a year ago when a couple vanners planned to meet at a new Hooters in Vernon Hills, IL. Got there, CLOSED! Apparently it was about 5 years ago when I watched them build the place! OOOPS
Posted By: nautic1 Re: Vanner's Largess & Open Doors - January 23rd 2009 2:15 pm
Drove by a Hooter's the other day and it was so hard not to stop. Being as I have only been in two I really need to get out more. May have to stop at that one the next time in that area. It was in Mechanicsburg,PA.

I was ruing about the lack of Stuffed Flamingo's available in Central Florida Stores at the bar today..... A guy with three teeth, and a crooked smile said " Yeh, that tastem real good, especially deep fried ! "

You may be a Red Neck if .............................

Nice birds guys!
They are correct about a Flamingo Fest shirt--however--those are not the flamingos we use. We use the ORIGINAL Don Featherstone ones--we may be bad, but we still get top of the line flamingos!! hee

To get this thread back on track, I do have to say, that the Vanner open door policy is still alive and well !

Yeah, there are hooters that will welcome anybody at anytime into their bars, but it is only VANNER'S, that welcome VANNER'S, into their homes, and their lives.......

Can't say enough about Vanner's..............

But I still like the hooters as a distraction lol

Luke,

I think BF Paul is a bad influence

I heard rumor he was taking you to Vanners for Vanners ?
