All,
All 4WDs from All states welcome!
For those of you that still have not RSVP'd for the upcoming ILFWDA
Convention please do so today. You can find the RSVP form as well as further
information online at _www.ilfwda.org_ (http://www.ilfwda.org/) We have also
extended the reservation deadline untill tomorrow 5/25. If you are unable to get
the rsvp mailed in time please shoot us a quick email to let us know that you
plan to attend. I know there are a number of people planning to attend whom
have not RSVP'd. If that is the case with you, please try to RSVP or at
least email us to let us know you plan to attend. This will assure us of having
enough food, drinks, shirts, and the like for everyone in attendance.
Keep in mind we have negotiated discounts with Pine Lakes Resort for
camping. You merely need to mention that your reservation is for the ILFWDA
Convention to receive your discount. You can get more information about Pine Lakes
Resort at _www.pinelakesresort.com_ (http://www.pinelakesresort.com/) We are
also going to be raffling off some great prizes. Total prizes in excess
of $3000 in value will be raffled on Saturday night at Pine lakes after the
convention. We have a set of tires from BFG to raffle, as well as prizes from
Flowmaster, Superlift, Rocky Mountain Suspensions, Drivetrain Specialists,
Tellico 4x4, Bestop, Advance Adapters, K&N, Edelbrock, Bushwacker, and Redneck
Concepts.
I also just got a call from Grant Reid at Redneck Concepts and he is going
to be attending as well. So you will have a chance to ask him all the
questions you want about the Redneck Ram, Cowboy Stirrup Step, and their awesome
winch ropes. Not to mention you will have the opportunity to see some of those
products in action on the trails because he is bringing 2 of their rigs to
tag along with us.
Don't forget their will be free food and great conversation around the
campfire at Cottage number 3 at Pine Lakes Resort on Friday night. As well as
early registrations. We will have some great trail riding all day on Saturday
with a great dinner and the convention at Pine Lakes afterward. While your
down you can also check out Rockport Off-Road Parks newest Rock Climbing
areas. They have added a number of new, easy, hard, and crazy sections to their
rockcrawling area. Last but not least we will have a scavenger hunt on
Saturday for some more great prizes. Did I mention we will also have goody bags as
well.
What else can I say. The price is very reasonable, at only $65 if prepayed
and $75 at the gate that is super reasonable. Considering that the fee
covers dinner on friday, dinner on saturday, entrance to Rockport on Sat and Sun,
a goody bag, door prizes, guided trail riding, discounts on lodging/camping,
and if you prepayed you even get a free t-shirt. That's a heck of a deal...
and all the proceeds go to help ILFWDA in their efforts to help the four
wheel drive community!
Please try to make it to this event. It is always a blast and you get to
wheel with your fellow four wheelers from all across the state. Hope to see
you there!
