• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Spyderfest 2015 Best Western Folks (INFO) UPDATED 01/23/2015

Latest update 1/23/2015

I will be updating this post frequently on this page so you don't have to read all the other posts attached if you don't want to.
:thumbup:

This pertains only to the people registered at the Best Western Hotel, each Hotel Host is responsible for their own group. (our hotel is full) :yes::yes:


A - Be sure to register for Spyderfest Online any time after January 1, 2015 (Spyderfest.com). I don't know the cost yet but in the past it has been that each person attending must register.

B - Send me some feedback as to what you would like to do at the hotel as a group. :dontknow::dontknow:

C - If you PM or Email me your Email address i will try to put together a group email so i can keep everyone up to date on what is going on.

D - it was suggested that we have a mini swap meet in the hotel parking lot. I can't do this because it would not be fair to the vendors who pay for a space at vendor village, we have a "for sale" forum here on Spyderlovers for that, and you can deliver it at Spyderfest if you choose to do so.

E - If you want some type of "Farkle" added to your bike during Spyderfest, contact that vendor as soon as possible to assure that they will have that item available and set you an install date and time.

F - One activity idea - everyone staying at the BW bring an item from their state/area to make a gift basket for the auction. (proceeds go to a charity) (PrairieSpyder's Idea)

G - A group dinner on Tuesday Night for the early arrivals?? (Samewoks idea) Lamberts seems to be the most popular.

H - Group Dinners for other nights?? (Big F's Idea)

I - Tiger Sanctuary Ride ?? (GunkandPudge's Idea)

J - Go Kart Racing Trip ?? (SpyderGTL's idea)

K - Worst, Funniest or cutest Pair of Pajama Pants Contest Friday Night (May be worn over regular pants or not) (Must be "G" or "PG" Rated). (Mrs. Cruzr Joe's Idea)

L - if you want to mail a basket prize to spyderfest so you don't have to carry it, send it to:

Patti McBride
22 Riviera Dr.
Granite City, IL 62040

Be sure to put a note with the gift and tell her it is from you and you are part of the Best Western Group

L - Questions ??? Suggestions !!!

Thursday Night will be the "Pajama Pants" party at our hotel

Each Night Wed, Thu, Fri, we will have "Happy Hours" in the meeting room at the hotel with "Party Favors" supplied You might want to bring your own mixer if you need "diet" or "Decaf" or something like that.
