Dusty - I remember trying to get Chuck to come out here to the event when he was in Cali , and I must admit , it is a long haul

I will always extend the invite to any of the Bronco vendors but you and Chuck are the only ones that really take an interest in the event and I'm happy to say that this year ... there is a strong possibility that BC Broncos will attend . Maybe I need to send the others an invitation - I haven't heard from them yet ?:?

Bax - If you fly in , I'll make arrangements to pick you up . You can stay with me at the hotel leave your bronco at home ... I don't want yours making mine look bad ;D ;D

Howdy. This will be my first year with an actual trail rig to play in, so i'm really hoping to come play and see some other broncos. Looks like its about 250 miles, so its deffinitly the closest bronco gathering I'll get to go to. Sounds like a good time!

Well I've wanted to get out there to Howiepalooza since before I was a vendor As business owners its hard to close up shop and hit the road, but we still manage to do it from time to time. For me, it always has been and always will be about the WHEELING more than anything else. Yeah there's shop rent and bills to pay but if you can't go have fun once in a while, why bother? I bet Chuck feels the same way.

I like all of the Bronco events, those I've been to and those I can only read about and see the pictures after the fact. They've all got their own attraction. I've always liked the more grass-roots, downhome vibe that Howiepalooza seems to have. Maybe we can make it out there for HWPLZA2K9 ;D

I will make it again if you can get it to rain enuf to not be able to farm. Had a great time in Iowa and Hanibal. Happy B-day if I can't make it. Hope to see you there.

Hope you got the pics I sent you

BradH - I can't promise anything on the rain ... but the band does play a great rendition of "the rain king" by the Counting Crows

Crewdg - I'm looking forward to seeing you again ... I will stock up on the paint pens

1sorbronc77 - you are going to love it this year !! I'm glad you can make it

2broncos2go - It looks like it's going to be more of a family reunion than a trail ride ... why did I push it back to May ?:? I'm ready now


Don't forget ....there will be a jerky competition this year ! 2 categories , Domestic (beef , pork , turkey etc. ) and wild ( deer , road kill whatever ? )

I've got a couple of surprises up my sleeve ... but the cat ain't gettin' out of the bag until then %) %) %)

I hope to make it this year. May just be in a rental car and not the Bronco though. Can you suggest a good car to rent for the trip Howie?

I am thinking about going and will have empty seats.

I had to ask permission but i think i have her talked into letting me go. I would tell you i make the calls around here but she is standing behind me.

 

[chuck]

I have been planning to come to this for years but this year it was first on the calender. There are too many events to be able to make them all but I will be at this one if I have to ride a bus. E-mail/call me and let me know how I can help.

 

[howiebilt]

You can't tell ... but I've been doing the happy dance ;D ;D

Chuck , I'll give you a call on monday

This is Mrs. Bubba. He thinks he wears the pants in the family but I tell him how to put them on. ;D

 

[astark]

Thank You for sharing Mrs. Bubba, we will enjoy his company and take good care of him

And....any chance you might send some homemade chocolate chip cookies with him ;D

Hey Howie, from Fredericksburg, VA to Hannibal, MO is only 935 miles. Hell, according to MapQuest I can make it there in approximately 15 hours. Oh well, sorry olde tymer. That bites! I'd really love to attend. :-[
