Smoky Mountain rally 2016 - NEW MANAGEMENT
Hi everyone!
Just to let you know, the Smoky Mountain rally 2016 will be October 6-9 in Maggie Valley, NC. The festival grounds have been reserved already. As you know from past BRP owners events, we will have plenty of space for parking and vendors. Vendors, if you are interested, please contact us; we think you will be very pleased.
Also, as most of you know, there have been some concerns with the previous promoter of this rally. Now, the rally is being planned by one of our own, known here as Catniption, and the previous promoter is not involved at all. Everything is in the beginning stages right now, but we wanted you all to have a heads up on it, so you can plan your vacation time.
She is working on host hotels and other arrangements, a Facebook page, and a website. Me? Well, I'm just standing by to help as needed. It's all new to us, so please be patient. We hope to have a great rally!

So what's the weather like in that part of NC in early October?
Might be inclined to take a ride down I95.

That sounds like a good spot. I'll be there too.

I am definitely going to this. I am interested in finding out about the host hotel. Some of the hotels in the area are already being filled up pretty quickly. I hope to make reservations by mid January.

Maggie Valley averages 69 or 70 degrees in the afternoon in early October... and 42 or 43 in the early,early morning right before the sun comes up... perfect riding weather if I ever get my Spyder back from the shop.

I'd stay at The Alamo again as I did in 2013 at the BRP Owner's event.
Will BRP be 'helping out' at this event again in 2016? Is that their game plan for 2016? Several events around the different regions? We know how slow they are about announcing such things.

Catniption here with a little more info
Hello everyone! I am very excited about this event, albeit terrified as well! Yes, the festival grounds have been rented. The grounds have water, power, permanent restrooms and tons of space.
Our host hotel will be the Maggie Valley Inn and Conference Center. I believe the rates will be $89 for 3 or more nights and $99 for 2 or less. They will be handling our meal on Saturday at 6 PM, Oct. 8. I have spoken with Alamo hotel also. They have agreed to to be a part of this, but I have not negotiated any prices yet. I will also try to get a few more hotels to give folks some options. Ask for the SpyderAdventures rally group discount.
I am hoping BRP helps me out. I was contacted by a local representative and he has forwarded my information to the corporate office. OF course, you know I won't find out until I am already in panic mode!
So, my plan so far is to cover the expense of the fairgrounds myself. If the vendors are happy, maybe some of them will chip in, but I am not charging them. I will have to charge $35 per person for the dinner. That's what they are charging me and I'm not rich. There's where I'm hoping BRP can help.
I am working on a full website which I am hoping to have finished by the end of January. I do have a Facebook page, although for some reason, people don't seem to be getting my posts. Perhaps people have to "follow" the site instead of "liking" it. I have no idea. I do check the FB site often, so that is the easiest way to get in touch with me.
Thanks to everyone for the support. I promise to try my best.

ThreeFeet and I are booked at Tha Alamo in the only two single rooms. They ARE pet friendly at The Alamo. That's why I chose them before Stumpy passed back in 2013 for the BRP Owner's event. The place next door is also a nice place to stay according to ThreeFeet. The two motels work with each other.

Facebook Page

I'm going
My wife, Carol, and I will be going. Looking forward to meeting everyone. Staying at the Maggie Valley Inn and Conference Center.
If you have never been to Maggie Valley, you should go. It's really a bike friendly town.
The restaurants are great and by city ordinance there are no fast food restaurants allowed in Maggie Valley. The only exception is one Subway sandwich shop.
