Cruisin' for Camp Courageous - 20 May

Needed to put a schedule "stake in the ground" to accommodate this worthwhile charity event; thus, the presence of this EIM planning thread.

We've always looked for opportunities for fun gatherings that were also on behalf of a good, charitable cause -- and this looks like a good one. Thanks much to Ron for the idea. Cruisin' for Camp Courageous is one of Iowa's largest charity car shows and is accompanied by food, music, crafts, antiques, silent and live auctions, and many other activities. On top of that, it's an easy Sunday drive to get there.

Everything you need to know, including registration information, is available using the following link:

http://www.campcourageous.org/?page_id=759

Please post up with a reply here if you're interested in participating as part of the EIM family -- Ron may be able to arrange for adjacent parking at the show if we get a critical mass of folks.

Hmmm...I wonder if we'll be in Class SE (late model stock) or in the much more intriguing Class SM-C ("New Age" MINI)?

Signed up

We're also signed up for the Camp Courageous. I see we have, at this time, a total of 3 participants. With 3 entries, we will need to meet somewhere the morning prior to the event in order to park together once we arrive at the Camp. I'm not sure where everyone lives, if it's Cedar Rapids we could meet at the HY VEE on the east side of Marion. If we're coming from other directions, we'll need to pick a difference place. Please send me a private message and I'll coordinate the meeting place so it works for all. Thanks for supporting this great event. Ron

Ron, I'll be reiterating this opportunity via email within the next week and will also post an announcement on our website. That could potentially stimulate additional interest.

I'm in Coralville, so meeting in Cedar Rapids is not a problem for me.

Parking At Camp Courageous

It appears that we'll have 3 of us going to the CC event. With this number of cars, it's not practical for me to ask for a special Mini parking area. I suggest we meet at 8:30 at the Walmart in Anamosa (right off 151) and convoy to CC. By meeting prior, we can enter the grounds together and park as a group. If anyone else decides to attend, we'd welcome you at the meeting location. Please let me know if this works for those attending. The actual address of the Anamosa Walmart is;

Walmart Superstore
101 115th st
Anamosa, Ia 52205

A PM or a post here on your intensions to meet at Walmart is appreciated.


Thanks, Ron

I'll ask once again---Anyone interested in meeting at the Anamosa Walmart to convoy to CC? Please post here as I need to know in order to not leave anyone behind.
Thanks, Ron

The weather couldn't have been better for Rschleder and Drimple at this event. Here's a recap clip from KWWL:
