Web site for Spyderfest does not offer any information at all. No motel info, no locations for anything given (vendors are where?) -- and no vendor info (who is coming). Rides? Pie Run? Guided rides? Motel/hotel hosts? Past years there was a great facility for vendors - plus there was a nice restaurant on the fair grounds that we enjoyed most every day of Spyderfest. Where is input from the MO Gang? Info from Lamonster?
Right now I'm staying here in the woods of E Texas until better information is provided.

My computer won't let me connect with Pitbull Powersports.
We are coming from St. Louis so no big deal to ride there. Just like having my ducks in a row.........
We are not much for hanging around fair grounds or campsites. We love to ride in structured rides with other bikes. Don't know too much about that area around Springfield. We normally go a little further into Arkansas around Eureka Springs.
If I can get some more info then we can make plans.

Spyderfest is at a new location this year, PitBull has moved. No more fairgrounds. It may even be split between two venues. I find that a bit unclear. Not sure where the vendors will be?? But as mentioned above someone needs to clarify.

It's only the first of January, so I suspect there is a lot of info simply not released yet. From F/B, I gather that there will be various vendors at both Pitbull dealerships. There will also be different events at the two dealerships. Only 2 of the 4 host hotels have been made known, and I believe they are both approaching capacity. Registration gets ya a voucher, and likely some other frills for the duration of the event. It's a few months away and I would suspect that The MoGang will be making some info available shortly.

It was started by several companies located there which are in the Spyder sales or after-market business. Might also be one of the biggest by now. I've never been so can't say otherwise.
Correction: see SpyderAnn01 post below as to how and when it started. I still believe it has achieved the size and reputation it has is because of the Spyder dealers and after-market vendors located there, which is hard for any other rally to duplicate. That's just an opinion.

Spyderfest was started by Rickylen (Len) Damouth in 2010 when he worked for his father at Cowtown in Cuba, MO. I believe that there were about 50 people at the first one and they had a blast in 2011 it was sponsored by the dealership and it grew to something like 450 people. It has grown each year and was moved to Springfield, MO in 2013 when Len opened his own dealership. It is the largest rally in both number of attendees and also in the number of vendors who attend. The riding in the area is great and they do some fun things like the Passport Rides
So from someone who’s has attended 8 of 9 Spyderfest Rallies those are the things that make it the greatest rally.

The people, the MOGang volunteers that do all of the hard work, more vendors than any other rally and great riding. If you can’t see that and still don’t get what makes this great then you will stay home and never know what you’re missing.
I guess some people are just a little slow.

Spyder Lady and I will be there
She just got our reservations in and we look forward to checking out the new locations as well as the Lamonster garage down in Nixa. Enjoyed the Wilsons Creek Battlefield site last time but will probably hit that again and a couple of other rides the Branson direction. Still cold here, but suns out so time to be dreamin' and schemin'.

Got on Facebook and really didn't see anything helpful. Checked a couple of local (Missouri) Spyder Ryder websites and can find nothing about Spyderfest. Then again I am not the most "Tech Savy" guy in the house.
It appears that the function will be split into 2 venues, both owned by Pit Bull Powersports. One is in Springfield, the other in Boliver, Mo. According to Mapquest they are 35 miles apart. FYI it looks like the Boliver location is a gravel parking lot.
Went ahead and registered. Got a hotel room at the Best Western Plus Airport (either the Laquinta or the Courtyard Marriott are the host hotel but both are full). Best Western has more rooms available and is reasonable (Travelocity was $85.00 per night).
Hopefully as time goes on there will be more info.
This would be our 1st Spyderfest but definitely not our first motorcycle rally. We have done Sturgis, Thunder On The Beach, Bikes, Blues & BBQ, etc.
