Ok, I think we are off to a good start on the YT Mag festivals. I think a regional thing would be the best way to get the most participation, then those who don't mind traveling could go to other regions to meet other fellas too.
Seems to me that we need to decide on what regions to use. I was thinking NorthEast, East, and SouthEast, North Central, Central and South Central, and North West, West and South West as regions. If we had the regions spread out (i.e. we could have the 3 East region gatherings on one weekend, the three Central gatherings on another weekend and the three West gatherings on a third weekend.)
maybe guys could attend more regions if they want.Other thoughts: No need to make it a tractor show, but guys who are local or close by could bring their iron; others could just bring pics or something. It should be a family friendly event; i.e. very limited alcohol.
Timing of the events should work into 1)Harvest/planting season should not be interrupted, 2)Winter months in northern climes would not be fun. 3) Should not interfere with holidays like Thanksgiving, Easter, Christmas, etc. Can we coordinate with regional tractor shows? Let's make it inexpensive, so as many can participate as possible.
Campsite as alternative to hotel, low cost eats, etc. Those are the main thoughts I have filtered out, but I might have missed something important.
Please comment, this is a work in progress.
