This was my first time, but will be there again next year for sure.

I had a great time and wish I could have gotten there earlier on Thursday or on Monday for the Mid Ohio activities.Friday Night Party was cool; the only problem I had with it is that it was my first time there and I was trying to talk to a few people but could only do it during breaks in the music like when the drawings were happening. The music was too loud to talk over. Maybe have some quieter music earlier on for people to talk and the live band later on. I liked the live band idea, just hard to get to meet people for the first time.

I love the idea of a group photo. If you could get a sign company or someone with a bucket truck to donate a little time so the photographer could get a little height that would be one sweet picture. I would buy one.

The rides on main street seemed to work very well, don't have any comparison but seemed fair to me. Hopefully I won't overheat next year

.

As some one said somewhere else maybe you could assign other groups that come in an event, or part of an event, with the Ohio guys overseeing th entire weekend. That way more of you could participate, and or get some sleep over the weekend. There seemed to be some large groups from different areas that I am sure would be happy to take on different things. One group could be in charge of the rides for instance, one in charge of Friday party ect. I know some of the Michigan guys did the thurs cook out and another group helped out with the rides. Maybe make that a little more official. I know some things would be hard to do for out of state people but there seems to be enough that we could do.

Don't know if it has been done before but maybe some awards Saturday night and fewer speakers. Not serious awards but fun ones ( groups with the most members in attendance, most rides given on main street, ect. no judging just made up stuff). I did enjoy the speakers just seemed to go a little long to just listen.

Also next year if you could make sure my raffle tickets are near the top when the drawing happens,

that Superformance is gorgeous. Got three tickets sat night and will buy more as the year goes buy.

By the way I guessed that was the surprise, I told my wife I bet they have another car right before you rolled it out.

Good stuff Jim...thanks!

I am gathering up the ideas here and being emailed to me for group discussion... as always, these are my thoughts!

We had the exact same thought Friday night during the party. Maybe some acoustic and then pick it up as the evening progresses. WCCC was a big help and we hope that other groups will step up as well to help work and organize. We have put that idea out in public before. I like the fun awards... like a hard luck, or long distance... could be fun. Of course, folks would have to step up and nominate since I don't see how we could know who did what with everything that is going on. While I enjoyed all the speakers, I thought the segment could have been shorter. As for your raffle ticket being picked, we will probably prinnt a limited number next year so just buy them all!

I've been to every Spring Fling, and have had fun every year. But, I do have to agree with geniusjim, it was hard to talk to people I have never meet before, over the music.

As you know, Friday nights party was a new one for us so perhaps a little fine tuning is needed. We to noticed that a quieter begining is perhaps in order.

Don't forget the "least paint" award.

Rob, I just have to mention the Saturday night dinner...........I have never seen such an organized and efficient event! The food was great and I couldn't believe how fast they served everyone. I don't think you could improve on that!
