Actually, I have met "Mr. and Mrs. Elbows" from near KC, and then OnTheRoad has ties down there too... club or no club, MO for the May Long Weekend has to happen in the next two years.
A Hercules... I bet vervepipes can hook us up!

Really, tho, if you make the effort and time to visit on the trip it really is a lot of fun! C'mon down and stick around for the MidWest Vans eVANt the weekend after in IL!! We love the KC truck-in and want to go every year--just not always on the schedule.

MVL has a run on the American May Long Weekend, so yeah... ,we are supposed to get down there for that sometime... Gary & Jean said so! Probably want more Saskatchewan beer!

Not sure if I told y'all in so many words, but since my brother gave me the Cavalier when I was broke and jobless, and since he's had the hots for the Fargo from the time I found it, I'm giving it to him. We'll do bodywork on both earlies together... I'll take charge on welding, and him on carpentry... plus I'll have someone I can cruise with. So at the very least, there will be two vanners shaking things up in Saskatoon!

The feedback I've received so far shows a pretty even split between the interest in wrenching, camping, travelling and showing with our vans. I am strongly leaning towards the simple club name "Prairie Vanners", as it appears that the name should not limit the intended activities that the club would promote.
I have decided on a logo concept that represents the prairie region without bias or prejudice to any potential members... I'm having a logo designed to characterize an A-100 van as a bison / buffalo in the style of the characters in the movie Cars!
The club name would appear in a retro font above, with the member location (maybe city, maybe province or state) patched below similar to the style of bike clubs' chapter designations. The logo will initially be used online and for bumper / window stickers.
When I get the proofs back, I'll be sure to share it with you. As promised, a van club in our region is more than just a dream today... it will come!
Thanks,
Corey
