Sorry if I offended anyone, but I thought this would be the 2nd place announced (47th ending of Van Nats 1st) then maybe FB 3rd.

Unfortunately, FB and IG have taken over and Websites, Blogs, and Forums are slowly fading away. There are a gazzilion van pages/groups on FB now and its hard to keep up with the pace of them!
Then there are vanners that do go to van runs and post on here .... but dont do FAKEBOOK.

I don't think you offended anyone Bob. I also was surprised it wasn't "officially" posted here first. Maybe the Nats board and next years hosts are all recovering from this year and we'll get to see a flyer in just a few days ....... I would hate getting details second-hand from FB.
Just my 2%.
BTW it looks like it's only a couple hundred miles from you! That's close.
For the last couple of years people have kind of ignored Vanning.com unfortunately. A lot of us die hards are still here as well as Face book. Periodically the dates fluctuate somewhat. I think this years was a lot later than most years and next years is a little earlier.

It's only 175 miles for me at the most 1/2 tank of gas!
I can't wait!
I do hope you're correct Catfish, and it is only a couple more days before it's posted on here! Bring your fishing pole, as the lake is only a few blocks away from the campground. I am hoping with a name like Catfish that means you can hook a big fish.
Let's not forget the state to the south, Iowa. Albert Lea is on the Minnesota / Iowa border. There are a few fun things to do and see in the area and here is 2 in Iowa.

I'll be there! I'm super excited that it's coming to MN.
As mentioned above, the Winnebago Visitors Center is totally worth the visit. My van was made there in 84, so it was cool to drive my van there last summer and check out the history on display at the visitors center.

It's been over a week since the dates and locations were announced and still nothing "official" here on this site.
Yes, I know it's been said where and when for next year, and we're all excited (yes, I know I am speaking for most of the crowd).
I am only going to speculate at this time that I need to "Join Facebook" if I want to most up to date news. To join Facebook click here ---> www.bigestwasteoftime.com
I think my favorite team in the "Waste of Time Olympics," are those Wacky Canuks' on Coldwar Motors. Lotta Depth on the Team. Nice white 302 Mid Ford Shorty on recently.

Looking ahead to this coming year and I’m pretty sure I’m going to try and make it to #48. Working on convincing other vanners from Portland and Rolling Death Van Club to join me. I have a few interested folks so as long as nothing crazy happens to the van, really going to make an effort to be there. I’ll be turning 40 next year (after the Nats) and want to start getting to my bucket list items and hopefully make it a yearly pilgrimage to the Nats.
When do people start registering? Who’s making the trip? Would love to connect real faces and vans to names I only know online.
preregistration is on now! Prereg early and get a limited edition coozie. I'm so excited for this event!
For those coming in eastbound on I-94, I'd love to get a caravan going from Fargo to Albert Lea. It's about 5 hours and I'm sure there's a stop or two worth hitting up...

A big thank you to Twin City Vans for all that they did to make the 48th Nats a great and memorable time. My Plan A (JAWS) was not ready so went with Plan B (The InnKeeper). Not complaining as I'm fortunate to have a Plan B. Looking forward to Ohio in 2022.

Another video but from a first-timers perspective. Very well done by Becoming Bev. I've been following Bev as a van lifer and this year she went to the Nats. If you've been to the Nats you'll see some familiar sites that'll make ya smile. If you've never been then this will help jump start you for next year. Be sure to share this with your better half.
Nicely done video, thanks for posting. I always say, everybody needs to experience at least 1 Nats in their lifetime, a great time and lots of friends and memories for years.
