[AT] Portland Tri-State camping

[Spencer Yost]

Sorry for the late reply, but between hay and the day job I’ve been really busy.

My plan is to simply ensure that everyone can get together and enjoy each other’s company. We traditionally have a Wednesday night meal, but I would like for Thursday night meal to be put together as well for the folks we can only make the show for a long weekend.   

So everyone keep our calendars open for a Thursday night meal. I was really hoping for a throwback visit to the Back 40 in Decauter IN (about 25 mins away if I remember right) , where everyone brings a small engine/tractor part or tool for sale for a silent  auction. The money would go to the tri-state gas engine tractor association for being such great hosts over the years.  I still need to get more information from the engine folks as well. I would like for both groups to get together for this.

Looking forward to the 25th anniversary of the ATIS gathering!

Some of the not so regulars will need to let us know if you are coming, as we will likely have a crowded area.

We will need volunteers to help Gary with the trailer parking and I will need volunteers to man the northwest gate for golf cart access to downtown. May be asking for help in other areas such as Trading post and registrations. Please don't be bashful about asking any director or officer where help is needed.
