ROD, take the ball and run with it, you plan it and they will come

It will be hard to top Vegas #'s but sometimes a small group you get more quality time with each other, planning meals and scenic drives also easier with less than 96 cars .......... LOL

Piegon Forge to the Biltmore in Ashville NC was a trip with 96 Prowlers, blocking started at Hotel and we did it all the way there. My car sitting blocking a dump truck while the other 95 cars made the turn, I think he enjoyed it, not so sure about all the cars that ended up behind him.

Really if you can get 25 to 50 cars for an event that is a good turn out.

My 1st big event I attended was when Larry Lord invited the Prowler owners to join him on vacation in Deadwood SD in 2001 58 Prowlers

Someone said the Vegas event would be the biggest, well unless they have over 180 Prowlers in one place it will not be the biggest

2007 Chrysler Museum 10th anniversary party had 180 cats in the parking lot

I have enjoyed the really large events that we have attended but after hosting the Anniversary event in 07 I will say I will never host a group like that again. It is a logistical nightmare. The Denver event in 05 with 80+ cars was bad enough. I am really enjoying the smaller groups I've had for Dream Cruise every year.

I was pleased that everyone enjoyed the Anniversary event, but I for one didn't so much. I never had the chance to take my own photos, I never got to meet all the new folks that attended and never had time to relax and enjoy it. It took 8 months of my life to plan, mostly by myself. In the week prior, I had local help assisting me with the goodie bags, etc. A lot of what Chrysler was supposed to do got dumped on me, so I was doing their work AND the things I planned for the owners on my own!!!!

I've been trying to get the Ohio folks to do something I think would be great....I'll even offer to help.. I'll talk to them this weekend at the party!!!

Rod - as far as 2013 in concerned n we are planning a Texas event for May 2013. I was looking at a hotel in the Hill country but am reconsidering and may move the host property to between Austin and San Antonio so most people coming from the north or east will be an hour closer. I plan to post an announcement AFTER the Las Vegas event.
