Good Morning and Happy New Year Everyone!
Registration for Spyderfest (Springfield, MO) is now open and they are offering VIP passes to the first 500. I was slow on the take and ended up number 2 but......1 or 500 doesn't matter.
Spyderfest.com is the site. Good luck and look forward to seeing many of you there. :yes:

Hey everyone, the rally runs from April 26 to the 30th. What dates are people arriving for and leaving on. Not sure if the activities on the 26th are just registration later on, or if there is actually several organized events throughout the day. Also is everyone leaving on the 30th or on May 1st.
Has anyone else had any luck booking at the Best Western Coach house as it appears to be full already.

...and we are curious about the kinds of events that happen there. I looked at the Facebook site and on the registration site but didn't see what kinds of ultimate fun we can look forward to. All you Spyder-festers, can you give us an idea about what to expect?
Been there twice.
There's a "vendor village" inside a pavillion at the fair grounds. Most of the major Spyder vendors (and sponsors here) will be there selling their wares and performing installations. Best to decide early what you may want and contact the vendors about appointments.
There are a few organized rides but, IMHO, the major riding is the poker run. Visit specific area businesses and attractions, get your book stamped, and use it for the farkle auction at the last night's festivities. Best rides are things you do on your own or with friends throughout southwestern Missouri/northeastern Arkansas. The whole area has terrific roads; check out http://www.arkansas.com/motorcycling/ and http://ozarkrides.com/ for some ideas.
There's also a Casino night, with the proceeds going to charity. Light show and burnout show. In past year's there's been drag racing but I wouldn't assume that will be there this year unless they specifically say it will be.
Cookout and bonfire at the fairgrounds one evening, along with Spyder riding games (backwards timed race and blindfolded obstacle course are the main things that come to mind.)
Anything I forgot?

Registration for Spyderfest (Springfield, MO) is now open and they are offering VIP passes to the first 500. I'm wondering about the VIP pass. What is it? Does anyone who works the event know what the VIP pass allows you to attend?

David and Sharon just signed up on Spyderfest.com website, said I was #156 and #157, but I also got a "Your order # does not correspond with registration number for the early registration giveaway." If I get a VIP Pass or not doesn't matter, I'm sure we'll be all google eyed and overwhelmed by the whole experience...
Beat me by 20, but we'll be there!
