Fort Smith is actually a pretty big town but a whole lot to do. Mt Magazine is actually a good 45 min away. I think Ive come up with something though i used to work for advanced auto parts here in fort smith and am still good friends with the manager. I was talking to him today and he mentioned the annual fundraiser for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. We had always talked about having a good car show to raise money for the foundation. We are thinking maybe having it the third weekend in September there will probably be a registration fee but it will all go to charity . There will be trophies and he talked about giving away a flip out DVD\CD player for the farthest distance traveled this was just an idea and it all goes to a great cause and thought it would make for a great GTG and let the public know more about the CAFCNA. let me know what you guys think and we can go from there



So what do you guys think of this if you think its somthing you want to do do let me know yes or no so i  can figure out somthing i would appriciate it. (y) (y)
 
Sounds like you've got some interest Mud Diver - now you just need to start planning.  Pick somewhere you think would be interesting to a variety of folks, pick a date (which will probably change as everyone chimes in  :laugh: ) but getting started is the important part.  Once Nationals are over, we'll be looking for more GTG's to go to  :cool:

I like the charity show idea...
 
Member mcrendog moved to Ft. Smith from Indiana several years ago. we even went to a GTG that he held in Little Rock. Even later, on our trip home from California I told Joan that it would be cool to try to find his Avalanche and tag it! We knew where he worked so we got off of the interstate and went lookng for it.....we found it and tagged him! He was shocked to say the least. I have not heard from him or seen any posts from him in quite a while.......
 
All right  i will get it all figured out and get datess times and everything and let yall know. i think were going to make it a two day event where we have the show on sat  and then sun go to a local state park. Devils Den its a really neat place its got all these diffrent caves you can take 
flashlights and go explore think it would be intresting. ill get everything ellse figured out and let yall know. (y)
