I just moved from MD to North West AR.... that drive is no joke!

[MisterP]

Just registered for my first Spyderfest. Hopefully my tired body will handle the trip!

[odogg1963]

My wife was wondering if any vendors would be there selling vests and other clothing?
Thanks - Odogg1963

We went to our first last year and had to ride 1,500 miles to get there and 1,500 miles back home. It was worth it. You should plan on attending at least once. Great event. We aren't going this year but will be next year.

Road the Arkansas area last year. Great area and close to so many other great riding states. Good move on your part. There weather is better I'm sure.

IS there still no Vendor List?
We're already in SF month and I would like to plan/schedule vendor installs and or wait to see a vendors products at SF.

And for those that pre-registered, will we get a packet sometime in the next 10 days or so?

Thanks!

This year will be my 4th Spyderfest. Never got a packet in the mail. Always got a packet of goodies at the registration table even when I pre-registered. Someone from Mo Gang will have to answer the vendor list question.

[Joanie]

Headed to Springfield in the morning, last meeting before SF 2017 is Saturday evening. Will speak with Vanessa and get a list of vendors and get posted by Tuesday, unfortunately I do have a real job. From talking to vendors know that TricLED, Tire Graphix Jim Booth, Ultimate Seat, Sue Hopper, and many more...... LOL It's late guys, and work stinks!! Just wish I could find a job in the Spyder industry to support me and my wine habit. No comment Bob Denman.

Packet of info, lots of goodies this year, will be available when you register at PitBull.

Love to all. See you an a couple of weeks!
