I've been asked by the rally masters (Gary and June Wall) for the Sep 2017 NHOG rally to crosspost their emails here regarding the rally…below is the information on the upcoming rally.
I have no idea how to make this a sticky post so it will stay at the top…if anyone knows how then please either make it so or let me know how to make it so. I'll repost whatever Gary and June wall send out here.
I've pasted the text of the attachments below the email.
Anybody who's attended a previous NHOG rally is (I think) on their email mailing list…but if you're not getting any info and want to be added just drop Gary and June a note and the'll add you.
==============================================
Hi, fellow NHOG'ers,
By this time next year our 2017 Rally will be a fond memory.
We hope to see as many of you as possible. Therefore, we are giving you almost a year to plan your trip to Spearfish, SD and the lovely Elkhorn Ridge RV Resort.
Please see the attachments for our preliminary information
Please let us know if you:
1) have a topic you'd like us to have for a rally session.
2) know a vendor who might be interested in leading a session, or
3) would like to lead a session.
See you there (we hope)!
Gary and June Wall
