The Paris Landing Regional Avalanche Regional Meet is officially over now and people have headed home.
As coordinator of this event I would like to give a big THANK YOU to the 25 Avalanches that participated.

Most everyone arrived Friday evening, some a little later, but everyone made it safely.
We started off Saturday with continuing registration and The Marketplace. We offered many products for sale and showed off some of what our sponsors had offered for the Raffle. Everyone received information on our sponsors and their products during their registration and in their Welcome Bags.
The Welcome Bags included the following:
SAMPLES - Jack Daniels Mini Bottles, 2 Cans of Stoner's Tarminator, 3 sample packs of Meguiar's NXT Tech Wax, a K&N mini-filter key chain, a Flowmaster ink pen, Mr.Clean AutoDry Carwash sponge, Armor All wipes (courtesy of the Atlanta International Auto show ), Paris Landing Regional Meet T-Shirt
DISCOUNTS - TNT Avalanche Accessories, Sportwing, Stoner, Sparkplugs.com, Mr.Clean AutoDry Carwash, Lil Devil Motorsports,
DECALS - Jeg's, Flowmaster, Taylor, Mr.Clean AutoDry Carwash, K&N, WAAG, Jack Daniel's, Sparkplugs.com, 2004 Paris Landing Regional Meet Decal
FLYERS - Flowmaster, K&N, Taylor/Vertex, Westin, Jeg's Spring Catalog, SnugTop, TireRack.com Catalog, Pacer Lighting
We were able to offer for sale at The Marketplace: Smig's Hose Kits and Billet Door Light Frames, BikerChic's Door Handle Covers, Diecast Customz Dub Avalanches, SnakeEyes mounting brackets and monitors & Z66Butch's Swing 'N Load. I appreciate all those that participated in sending products to the Marketplace, I'll be in contact with you this week to square things up.
We were able to Cruise into Paris Saturday morning. We left out of the park at 11:00 and were escorted onto the highway by a Park Ranger showing off his strobes. Rainman led us through his hometown with some traffic assistance by Musiks. We cruised to the Paris(TN) Eiffel Tower and had a chance to take many pictures of the AV's with the monument. We headed back out on the road to Trollinger's where we suprised the restaurant, but they took things in stride and had all of us in and out in less than an hour.
Off-Roaders headed out after lunch at Trollingers and had quite a drive up to Land Between the Lakes (LBL) to get their AV's a little dirty. There had been a lot of rain over the last week including the night before. We were able to take a very light trail and about 1/2 of another trail before things got...interesting. We all got to see how skilled we were at backing up in small wooded spaces, how well a Z-66 does off road (not bad), how to tow an AV and the proper technique for riding on the rear bumper of an AV. We got some good pics that you'll see here soon. We had to cut the off-roading short due to some unexpected delays and the trails becoming unpassable. We appreciate Tree Hugger for guiding us in and out safely and being a cool head under a little pressure...you did a great job.
Saturday's group dinner showed exactly how many people were with us. We had 70 people at dinner. We ate at the Park's buffet...all you could eat prime rib and a full variety of other stuff.

We really enjoyed meeting everyone and appreciate everyone who came out to this meet and joined us. It was a big event regardless of the numbers in attendance. It was a pleasure to meet you all, my only regret is that I didn't have time to talk in depth with each of you and I didn't have time to check out each attendee's AV (stupid rain :Bang Head: ). You guys were great to work with and I appreciate everyone's cooperation in all aspects of the meet...YOU GUYS WERE GREAT! Anytime any of you are back in the Middle TN area, please let me know and we'll meet up.
