We can't wait for this event. This is going to be my first Dragon. Now I'm just trying to decide which MINI to bring. The Cabrio or the hardtop? Or maybe the 67 Mini. I also want to give two to my fellow SSMers for planning this Welcome Dinner.

Make sure you all check out the Sponser tab, because without these great sponsors stepping up, this would be nearly as great as it's gonna be

The Adventure Center is just down the hill from the lodge at Fontana Village. Can't miss it.

Be sure to visit the NAM MOTD area. There is a Maps section where you see everything from the roads, Fontana, and the village buildings.

Has anyone been to Fontana since MOTD4? Check-in last year was at The Inn. Not the location on the map which was check-in during MOTD3 and before.

I don't think thats changed this year. The former check in building is no longer the administration building.

Yes, check in is now in the inn and is no longer in that separate building way down the hill.

They continue to improve and update the facilities and it looked great at the end of October. . .

Cool, just wanted to make sure. We don't want anyone having to run all over the place looking for check-in after a long trip.

Me. I know the cabin I'm staying at. Last year the windows weren't very secure so I'll just head there and call check-in and let them know I'm here.

I just read all the details of the dinner! Sounds like this dinner is going to be fantastic. I will definitely be buying extra raffle tickets to help raise more $$$ for the Ryen Neil fund.

Oh, and please seat me as far away as possible from koolmini. I'll still be able to hear him just fine from all the way across the adventure center!

This is going to be my first trip to The Dragon, and I am so looking forward to it.

First AMVIV, then The Dragon, and finish the year with MITM.

What a great year this is going to be.

The Welcome Dinner sounds awesome. I wil definitely be buying extra raffle tickets as well.

Gotta start saving now.

Tickets seem to be going at a healthy clip... 190 sold in less than 48 hours, only 110 left. Be sure to get your Welcome Dinner tickets while they are available. We are limited to 300 guests, and there will be no sales at the door...

Speaking as one of the event's planners (Snooter did all the hard work), I can say that I think those who attend will be pleasantly surprised, if not downright impressed, by not only the dinner, but the atmosphere of the Adventure Center by the time we're ready to open the doors.

Come on, folks, let's sell this sucker out!

Bill
