Might be interested in that -- this event is 1 week before my wife's due date, so might not be able to make it!

Where you guys camping? I'm thinking I'll have my 2 yr old ride shotgun and do a campin trip with him.

We will be camping but I have not really looked into it. They have on-site camping at the fairgrounds.


edit-I sent a message to see where the exact event location will be since "in the county" is a bit broad. :laugh:

I just spoke with the wife tonight. It's 3 weeks before her due date so she definetly wont be going to it. But I'll be there. I'll meet up with some folks and can help out the best I can as for locations if people want to camp/hotel or anything since I live in the same side of the state.

I'm doing a 5K cross country trip this summer and sent in my registration a few weeks ago so I can include this event in my wanderings. I'm looking forward to being on the "other side of the country" at a Jeep event
