Can we set a record in Cowtown Spyderfest next year?

[Lamonster]

Cuba, MO has at least one record to it's name. It has the World's Largest Rocking Chair.

I would like to add another record to the books and that is the World's Largest Gathering of Can Am Spyders. We had over 100 Spyders show up with very little promotion this year thanks to Gene and a few other SpyderLovers including Cowtown. I think if we really put some effort in starting now for next year we could easily have well over 300 Spyder's for this event. The world record was set in Quebec and they had 298 Spyders.

This is what I want to see with SpyderLovers name on it. :2thumbs:

​

I think it's great anytime you can get a big group of Spyder owners together like this and like the Hollywood and Austria event.



I see no reason why we couldn't do the same thing here in little ol Cuba Missouri. We know the town would love to have us. It's pretty much in the middle of the U.S. and should be able to pull folks from the west coast as well as the east coast and we might even get some Canadians to show up. :doorag:


I know it seems a little early to start planning but I want to see if you all are game to try and get in the record books. I'll put a poll up and at least get an idea if this is worth doing or not. I know I always have a good time when I'm around Spyder folks.

Hi Lamonster,
I would love to be there. I would have to know to date, so I can submit a leave request by Jan 2011. Our leave for the year is set in January for the entire year except, medical and emergencies.

In my honest opinion I believe in my heart, truly that we can beat this record, there is some stipulations and some planning involved if we plan on doing this brother but you know what? The work and effert will be well worth having the OFFICIAL CERTIFICATE and TITLE!!! I'm on the team for sure

PS: We will have to keep an eye on this number, sounds as though they are in the running for breaking it, see below:: This is straight from the link LaMonster posted...

Club President Donald Pomerlau received the official certificate from Guinness on behalf of the group on January 18, 2010. In fact, the group plans on attempting to shatter their own record on July 31, 2010 when the second annual “Can-Am Spyder Fest” in Magog takes place. Donald told the Spyder Team that they are aiming to crush the record with a gathering of over 500 Spyders!

I hope they can get 500+ Spyders. :thumbup:

We have over 4100 members now and in a year's time that could easily be 2000 more by then. If we can get 10% of 6000 members (knowing that not all the members still ride Spyders now) we could have well over 500 Spyders. I just got off the phone with Len from Cowtown and they have some big plans already for this event not including trying to set a record. This will be an event to remember even if we do fall short of a record but I don't think we will.

By the way when do kids get out for summer break? We're trying to nail down a date that will work for folks that have kids in school or members that are teachers. We know we can never have a date that will work for everyone but we want to try our best to make it work for as many as we can. :doorag:

We already have the dates set aside!

My husband and I are making next year's Spyderfest our annual vacation. Count us in!

The last garthering was so much fun. I gladly commit early! Hoping to ride with the Florida Express again next year! Gene, Cowtown and everyone else involved deserve kudos on a great event.

I can only speak for this area (Cuba Area) and its Mid May, but depends on Snow days as well... Lets DO THIS!!

If thats the case and school is the concern, and it should be simply cause I'm sure there are several hundred members that have kids in school and I hate to suggest this but some time after Memorial Day Week-end would be a SAFE bet that all the schools will be out for the summer, I'm sure you all will figure it out though, makes no differance to me, I'm past that stage of my life...

The good news is we can make adjustments while it's still early and not set in stone. :doorag:

Hey whatever we need to do to make it work we will do! It would be pretty cool to set the world record in the us:2thumbs:! Lamont sounds awesome. We did have a date set but Lamonts right it might be better to move it out a few more weeks.......should we run a poll????? Last years Spyderfest was really a good time and all the spyderolvers made it happen in just a few weeks notice. So I agree with Lamont the world record is within our means, so move dates, add locations, stand on our head whatever it takes:yes:! We all have alot more instore for 2011 spyderfest starting on thursday with a big bond fire with fireworks, a band and for sure some one running the grill!! friday will include a pancake breakfast in town, served in the big tent, also a ladys ryde/shopping trip, and a shuttle will be provided for all thos sharing a spyder, also several vendors, and food stands with the can-am spyder truck giving rides. also ride rout maps will be provided with detailed info on trips, points of intrest, milage, times, and so on. Friday night will have 3 diffrent locations for dinner with the gang, and once again the after party to be held at the country club, for the game, spyders on the green, also more fireworks, food, drinks and a band. Saturday will be the main event with a big barbque, more games, the main ryde, dinner a banquet, a band again, and fire works, a bike show and a praide....also the big record setting day!!! sponsers and vendors, aswell as some tech sessions. So should be something going on. Sunday morning will be breakfest and store open till 2 for any last minute adjustments or repairs. So whatever we need todo to make this work we will do.SPYDERFEST 2011
