Embracing Iowa Dirt Weekend!!

[Vibrato]

From Ryan Hanser, Iowa IMBA Dood- (I can't remember his official title- we'll just call him this until I do)

Hey, all... Below is an outline of where we're at in planning our June weekend together... Would appreciate your feedback/questions.

Note that we have secured a block of discounted rooms at the Hotel Fort Des Moines (home base for the weekend) and have members willing to host home stays, too.

How many of you could get to Des Moines sometime on Friday? Hansi Johnson (new regional director) will be in town and it would be great to have us all connected that day, even if only for a few hours that evening...

Also, how many people are you bringing to some/all of this gathering?

That's all for now. Please reply!

Thanks.

Rage or I can get numbers of attendees to Ryan if anyone is interested. I will be camping at Red Rock lake this weekend with the whole fam-damily and I'm gonna go up for the Iowa Trails Planning session on Saturday for sure, considering the "Embracing Iowa Dirt" session on Friday too. (If it's rainy and crappy, Poof and I will be doing the whole thing just to stay inside!)

Hope to see some home knobs out there!
