    Default SPYDERFEST 2017 -- INFO FROM JOANIE

    YES -- we are behind. But for those of you who have attended in the past and know Len & MoGang, we normally fly be the seat of our pants most of the time.
    There are a few reasons...
    1. Len and Vanessa had a beautiful baby girl, Caroline, in January.
    2. There will be a new dealership in Bolivar, MO "PitBull The Rock" which has contract deadlines as to when it is to be opened
    3. Weather in the midwest cancelled our January meeting. We did have our February meeting, so we are a little bit behind in getting things lined out. (Instead of idea thowing in January and finalizing in February... well it is now Feb/March) We don't want to post things until we have it almost all ironed out.

    WHAT I CAN ASSURE YOU IS....
    It will be a wonderful time with vendor village, group rydes, passport stops, games, meeting new friends, rekindling old friendships and much much more. (OH, did I mention wine drinking in the hotel parking lot???(Sorry they don't have wine glasses.....)
    Yes we are adding a few new things this year.
    YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

    For those of you who know me shhhh...... For those of you who don't, I will be the quiet, shy and bashful one behind the registration counter, and I totally do not like sweet wine. Usually with a 38 or 9 mm on my hip. Yes we can open carry in MO, but I also have my CCW. (Bob D no cracking jokes and yes you have to bring me a bottle of wine this year to get a hug!!)

    It is a great time and there is no stranger in this group. So if you don't like hugs..........
    To all my old timers (not meaning your age). Please chime in on the fun of this event.

    I also want to apologize for me not being out here more. My dad is almost 86 and mom just turned 85 in December. Let me say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree with me and my daddy, so if you know me at 52 year old imagine what I would be at 86, just as quiet shy and bashful as ever!!! But dad has COPD and is on oxygen 24/7. My mother has an odd form of Parkinson's. As they should, they take priority. Although, my dad is pretty funny "Why in the hell do you ride that damn thing with 3 wheels" "Because I like it dad". I was born and raised on a hog & crop farm, was in 4-H, but my dad and three brothers never let me drive the three wheeler or the tractor, now I 'm driving a Spyder, go figure.

    Please if you have any questions, ask.
    My cell number is 636-577-4508, please feel free to text or call. I do have a real job, so leave a message if I don't answer and I will return your call in 24-48 hours.

    See you soon!
    Love to all!!

    Hotel/Spyderfest

    Attending our first Spyderfest this year. We checked the listed hotels and they said they were booked but managed to get to in the Double Tree. Which hotel would be the "one" to hang out in the parking lot to meet and greet everybody during the evening?

    Thanks, Odogg

    Joanie... Thanks for this important update! We have faith that you guys will pull it all together: you always do!!
    (How about a picture of that beautiful new baby Caroline?) to the proud parents!
    And to Caroline!

    You don't like Wine and Hugs???


    You are such a kidder!

    HEY EVERYBODY!!!! YOU absolutely MUST bring a bottle of sweet wine to SpyderFest, and give ti to Joanie when you register!!

    This is important: the success of the entire event may hinge upon all of this...



    About your folks: Prayers and kind thoughts are being sent to ALL of you.
    I'd love to meet your Dad: I'll bet that he's a ton of fun...
    (Mine is almost 88, so I know the game at this point...)

    This will be my first Spyderfest, as with most things Spyder everyone is so helpful.

    i would have never guessed that a bottle of wine would be required for the gracious lady at registration!

    I appreciate this post for everything including contact information. Is there a list of vendors that will be there. Hopefully there won't be too many, this will keep my spending down.

    Hi Buckeye... we will be there as Vendor! So stop by to say hi to your fellow Ohioans and maybe get some LED for your Spyder.

    IT IS NOT A REQUIREMENT. BOB DENMAN JUST LIKES TO GIVE ME TROUBLE!!!

    I like asking him for it cause I know he can afford it, and he give me so much trouble, that I deserve something for putting up with him.

    So no need to bring wine.

    But she's right: I am far more trouble, than I am worth...
