It was time to get the official dates posted so that everyone could put it on their calendars.
I am still working on the final details but here is a rough draft of the event.
As always our events are FREE - No registration fee, wherever possible we will arrange for sponsors to help fund portions of the event
Friday April 12th
Everyone's favorite Slingshot Dealer Brewer Cycles has one again stepped up and offered to host at NO Charge a ride (Ronnie and Colette are planning something new). The ride will conclude back at Brewers were we hope to have lunch. Once again we will try to get a representative from Polaris to visit with us.
6:00 PM Slingshotinfo.com / CEDA / The Flying Pig Ranch and all your friends in Clarksville will be hosting a FREE welcome dinner. As always we will be raffling off some gifts at dinner. Our forum father rabtech has promised us some Slingshotinfo swag. If we have any vendors that would like to donate to the raffle please contact MACAWS via PM.

MACAWS
Sorry I guess my dog got out...glad he persuaded you to join us. Looking forward to seeng all you crazy people again.
Gadgeteer
ethermion - While not entirely necessary, you are correct, calling the Mrs. is an effective means of, uh... "persuasion." However, I'll save you some time and toss my hat in so you won't have to resort to such measures. ;-D Honestly, I am grateful for your - ahem- "persistence" as I would otherwise miss out on stuff like this and would never have met so many awesome folks. Many thanks, Sir! Also, many thanks and cheers to MACAWS and his wonderful wife for pulling these events together! You guys are the best! We look forward to seeing you, and everyone else, and sharing in more good times!

3rdwheel will post, I am sure. A-Team SS will post, I am sure. Andy Hatch, no way. BatPower, I will check on him. His life has been complicated recently. Ben67zl1, I kinda doubt. Bradshaw'sSS are 30 minutes away. Bu11sh1t is a V-SHOT contact. Long ride for him, but he is seriously bad-ass. Cameron Roberts, I will ping him, and actually I am overdue a visit anyway.
Candyman is a puss for not showing up last time. david3198, aka the joker, I will try. dharmab , it ain't his thing. DocG just got married so who knows - not up to him anymore. Gadgeteer, if I call his bride, he will post. I will call his bride.
hrmiracle is slingless at the moment, and only really likes me because I am a stud muffin. She doesn't like anyone else here.
Jdin and bride will be at my house next weekend, and if not other complications they will post. lrobbi is like 20 minutes from my house. I will promise to punch him in the nose if he doesn't post. In which case he will laugh his ass off for 30 minutes, then toss me into a river, which is fine.
TheRock (aka Rocky) is OCONUS. Tech_Rick I assume to be OCONUS. WraithSS, I can ping him, though he is often OCONUS.
MACAWS
Thank you my friend
ethermion
First of all, I would never, ever miss an MACAWS event. Noper. Not gonna happen. Great opportunity to tell funny stories about him. For example, he called me yesterday about this event (I have been not so attentive on the forum recently for other reasons...), while I was baby makin'. Dude! I said. It is Valentine's day, and you are calling me after dark 'bout a crew swarm? He replied, "is it really Valentine's day"? Best to his bride.
MACAWS
Is it me or you just don't want to pass up a few free meals. looking forward to seeing your bride, hope she brings you with her..Thanks for the friendship!
ethermion
Bride would post if only to see FunCycle, so they could share notes on cleaning and polishing a sling. But, she is also fond of just about all of the crew. And, she is very picky about her friends... Lots of stories there too. Last year, MACAWS and Designer covered my 6 preparing for bride's birthday. And I got a free lunch. That was big, big. Bride won't forget.
I will be dragged along only because bride does not drive stick, and I am a stud muffin.
So, anyway, if anyone is on the fence, don't miss a great opportunity to see ME!
FunCycle
Reservation made at the Magnuson arrive on Apr 11 and depart on the 15

Trying to talk wife into going to event. Most likely scenario is leaving Friday afternoon getting off work a few hours early.
Who is going from tidewater area and what time/day? Would love to ride down together.
Second question is dinner Meetup Friday. Pig something I think around 6pm? Thought I saw something about hotel offering space for gathering too.
Considering 5ish hour drive I guess 1pm latest for departure from here too. If I can even get a room at this late date.

Umm...is this near lake Gaston? Did route from address listed and s bit over two hour. Not 5
