That would be great if you can make the trip on Thursday.
We will have a little Woodward reunion before the Dragon weekend really gets going.
Let us know your final plans.

Hey Gary, sounds like a tail-gate party might be in order Thursday night if the weather permits.

OH YA....We might be the first ones lookin' for the store selling the beer.
A little tailgating after dinner would be the way to kick off a most awesome weekend IMO.
Of course for me only a cold Pepsi or Coke. I hate the taste of beer. The advantage to that is NO HANGOVERS.

Hey Don,
Great News! You are number #71, I just got back from Fla about an hour ago, got you eMail, thanks!
Did you sign up for the Dragonslayer Card? It will give you the 25% off each night, but you need to have then sign you up over the phone before you get there, so it will apply to your First Visit.

Everyone else still making reservations please take Note : of this Dragonslayer Card of theirs for 25% Off Lodging & be sure to sign up on the phone when making the Reservation! (It is worth about $25/night or a 'Free Meal' in the Dining Room each night!)

Bill, talked to Penny at the Lodge and she gave me the 25% off, when I get there I'll have to fill the paper work out. #71, sounds good. Should be a hell of a turn out.
Thanks
Don

Went out to warm the car up, check a few things, be excited about the trip--

This is what the garage door looked like when I closed it

When I opened the door there wasn't any snow anywhere.

My vote is to let them bring a semi load if they wish. I'd like to see all the goodies before I purchase. I bet they will be offering discounts and not wanting to it back north.

Valkryderguy: Excellent news...you can join us for dinner and some tailgating afterwords back at the lodge.

2nd on the Excellent news....many times it's the unplanned part of the trip that I remember the most. Now maybe we can get another 67 members to arrive early for a quiet dinner and tailgating afterwords
Gary can you send out a PM with our cell #s to the Thursday night members?

For everyone who will be arriving Thursday at the dragon please PM me a contact number you can be reached at on Thursday.
As soon as have all the names and numbers I will send a PM with the list to all of the folks attending.
It is the best way for us to all know who is where etc.toward the end of the afternoon.
It will also be a way to determine how many want to get together for dinner for those arriving late.
