keep up the good work (y)
 
well if the wife doesn't come with me...I'll have an extra bed
 
I have never been to an Avalanche get together...can someone tell me what goes on at these events, what to expect, and do people bring there kids? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Live in Ontario so going to Niagra Falls shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks!

This one will be family friendly with a chance to go to the amusement / water park, go carts, laser tag and a trip to Clifton Hill on Saturday.

Just waiting for a couple replies from the venue to post the schedule
 
:welcome: Polish Prince.

Generally at GTG's (get togethers) we "talk trucks" showing what we have done and discussing what we would like to do with our Avs.
Also, if you have any questions about anything, getting answers in person is a great way to go.

Certainly bring the kids.  (y)
DouglasOak will have more info coming, but at these larger events there is usually something family/kid oriented to do.

Also, if there is a Polish Princess, bring her too.
That way she can see that being "obsessed" with the Av is normal with this group.  ;D

Check out the other topics in all the GTG sections, and you'll get a better idea of what to expect.

Polish Prince,

I brought my mom to my first gtg  >:D Okay she brought me because I didn't quite have my license yet  :laugh: It's definitely a family club! Mom and I have made coming to GTG's our "thing". Perfect parent-child bonding time! Dad never showed much interest so nobody has ever seen him  >:D many claim his nonexistence.  :laugh: Gold Bowtie can vouch for that. It's an extremely fun time no matter what goes on! The avalanche club is a great bunch of people no matter what region you come from  (y)

 
....sigh....... I miss all the great times and great memories that were made at these events, and on this forum.... time might have taken my Avalanche, but hopefully it will never take the fond memories in my head and heart of all the people here that welcomed us into their family.  :B: :B: :B:
 
FINALLY!!!! I made the time to get this done...
I had a few people mad at me, but I took tonight off to finalize the events schedule and post all the necessary info for the 2013 Nationals weekend.
Sorry for the delay... but here's the first lil bit of info.

http://chevyavalanchefanclub.com/cafcna/index.php/topic,138491.msg2015723.html#msg2015723

See you there!!!!!!
 
sounds like a plan (y)
 
This is going to be super fun :cool:
 
Lookin good!    :wave:    come on people lets make a good go of it

hi, 2 questions
whats happening the 26th 9 pm - ?? Lasertron Entertainment Center 5101 N Bailey Ave, Amherst, NY ?
also whats the 'modding' events
thanks
 
Grumpy .... I'm thinking Lasertron .... is Laser Tag? ...

and modding = modding your truck ... any work you do on your truck is modding ... adding lights ... strobes ... switch .... 12v plugs ... bed slide .... DVD player ... train horns ... that is modding .... you will see people gathered together around trucks helping each other out with stuff they are trying to install on there truck

I'm sure people will be wanting to check out my horns ....  >:D .... I have 5 horns from an actual train on my truck  :eek: .... check the train horn thread and you will see a pic of them right after I bought them in my back seat .....  :love: 

John
