we are in harrisburg, PA this morning...gonna head down and visit gettysburg then head west to Columbus, OH to stay with TinyMoMo. Had a hard time finding a hotel last night...huge biker weekend in Gettysburg and the next town up we found all the hotels were booked for a car show.

sorry for not getting pics up...hopefully we get into Columbus early enough tonight that we can!

baked and kiss

Glad to hear you found a place for the night. Can't wait to see your pix of this trip. Plz give my best to Tiny MoMo and let her know the "Lori, Laurie, Lorrie" Club wasn't the same without her at Convention.

Thanks UCLA--LOL I will be there next year!

I am awaiting kissy and baked's arrival right now!

I have a dumb question.

Why can't they have these conventions in the central part of the States so it would be the same for everybody to get to.

If somebody lived in Cali it would be a long haul to drive to Mass.

Most people fly, although lots of road trips are taken to conventions. There has to be a sweep club willing to come to a convention and put a bid on it - "state their case" so to speak as to why their community should host the convention - if there is a club willing to do the work and can come to a convention, attend a Past/Present/Future Convention Hosts meeting and put together the bid for it - that would be fabulous There is no National Convention Sweepstakes Committee or anything like that - sweepers rely on the clubs to step up and host. Pulling off a convention for 600+ sweepers is no easy task - so you have to have a strong club and/or strong leadership to make it happen. As you can see from the list below there have been conventions all over
