Gary A. Schinske

President, MTA

All are welcomed. This Rendezvous, keeps getting better and better. From Indiana, straight up U.S. 131, to Reed City. Turn Right/east, on HWY 10 to Evart Fair Grounds.

Rendezvous is at; EVART, MI, Fair Grounds

[Tim Rose]

Sounds like good fun....maybe we could try and go...School may start by then for us?

What kind of attendence does the MI conv. usually see.

[trapperknox]

Oh, sure go to OH for conventions go to MI, but God forbid go to IA's convention

[Stanley]

Last year was MTA's 50th. We had over 1400 paid through the gate. Kids under 12 were free. I think the attendance was higher, but I know I'm safe with the 1400 paid. The Fair grounds are very nice, plenty of camping spots. There is a Super 8 Motel on the other side of the fence, next to the fair grounds. I'm told all vender will be under one roof this year. New Building. I'm pretty sure there will be a High School football game friday night. The football field is part of the fair grounds.

The Company "NESTLE" has there "Ice Mountain" wells in this community. Nestle, lets say, has put a lot of $$$$ in the area. School & Fair Grounds have benifited.

Any questions, I'll try to help you out.
