our GTG list is a little bit sparse ...... think we could use a Mod GTG ......

Looking into holding a ModFest Memorial Day weekend.  Keep your eyes open!!
 
You folks start a thread with a date and heck yes it will be added.
 
Michigan needs a ModFest. Way too many things I have to do.

I agree!!!
I still haven't installed my strobes! (but it's not from lack of knowledge or tools)
I've just been way too busy!
Strobes are the main mod on my list, although I have some pretty fancy 105th anniversary Harley emblems that are begging to be put on the truck, as well as some more color matching to be done.
 
Added the Holiday Dinner.
 
last weekend of the Ren Fest Sept 29-30
 
DirtyGirl and I are "on lockdown"  
We have had so much going on the past couple months and have to save a little gas money for:

Then try to save up for Florida - December 25- Jan ????

I might be interested in seeing the lights .... depends on when ....

Pick some dates that are best for you...
I go every year, they add something new each time.
But have never seen the Fireworks display. (No biggy tho, I've seen plenty of Fireworks!)

I'll be sure to bring a couple of Thermos's full of Hot Chocolate to warm us up at the end!
 
Cool I'll be back after thanksgiving let me know which date it is.
 
I am available any night... except Tues/Thurs.
I will let everyone else decide on a date that is good for them, and go with it!
