I tried the link, but it doesn't seem to work, at least not at the computer I'm using right now anyway.
Could you double-check and send it again?
I'd like to print the flyer to paper and show it to my boss so he might feel more likely to give me November 7th and 8th off.
If I simply refer my boss to this thread he'll undoubtedly ask me what the heck I was doing surfing the net during business hours, and then he'll punish me for that probably by telling me to stay in town and work.
Thanks for what you can do!
Casey in Phoenix

The flyer was perfect. Not only did my boss give me that Friday off, but I got Thursday off too. Thanks! See you there!

I've never been to this event. Are tents allowed for overnighters? If yes, are huge family-sized tents allowed? And can the tents become pitched next to where the bus is parked? Are there permanent charcoal pits near where the buses are parked at? Are there picnic tables close by? How close to the buses are the toilets? And how close to the buses are those fantastic hot showers that Pat Kelly told me are there?

The campsite at the fairgrounds is a perfect place to camp. Those of us that have been going for years always get the same spot each year. plenty of room. Restrooms at the campsite and showers a short walk away. The Yuma gang even has security to watch the campsite Sat during the show. One of our top three camp outs each year. The Friday chicken dinner is to die for. |

Hi, Mr. Howard. I appreciate your help. But now I'm confused.
The flyer says this event is being held at "Gateway Park". Is "Gateway Park" another name for "The Fairgrounds"? Or are these two different places?

Hello desertbus, the November 8th Saturday show is at Gate Way Park 8:00am-2:00pm. The campout is on Friday November 7th-9th at the Yuma Co Fairgrounds (entrance is off pacific ave across from the Walmart). Two event locations, park being the Saturday show'n shine, swap, food, raffle and the fairgrounds hosting the campout weekend.. A couple miles from each other!

Hi folks, and John....
We're flying over from the UK on the Thursday and are planning on coming down to Yuma on the Friday. Not sure yet if we're staying in a local motel or if I can persuade Mr Howard to loan us a tent and sleeping bag....
Anyway, what time does the chicken dinner start and what time can we get in from?
Thanks in advance, Anton

Just a updated reminder for those of you coming in on Thursday the 7th, that day happens to be our Thursday monthly meeting day and we will be meeting at the IN&OUT burger on the corner of 16th st and Pacific Yuma Palms Shopping Center. Only IN&OUT in town! Meeting will take place at around 6ish followed by a short cruise across town to the Hastings on 4th ave! I believe the chicken dinner starts around 5-6 switch3sixty
