    We have found that setting a "standard" time frame helps your rally grow. People will learn when the rally is and can plan accordingly.  Our first Bussin' rally was in 2001. 45 coaches showed up for an extremely cold weekend (lows in the 20s & highs in the upper 40/low 50s with a strong North wind). The next year we had 75 coaches attend (and much nicer weather). The rally has grown since then and seems to have leveled off at 165-190 coaches. We set a rally date of December 29 through January 1. This always covers the New Years Eve holiday and falls during Christmas vacation.  Some have said they would rather have it later because they want to spend the holidays with family, while others have said they are glad we hold the rally when we do because they could not attend if it was after the Christmas vacation.  It seems to work for most, but there will always be some that the dates do not work for. You cannot set a rally date that will work for everyone.
    Speaking of rallies, Bussin' 2008 will be held from Saturday, December 29 through Tuesday, January 1, 2008. the rally will be held at the Turner Agri-Civic Center in Arcadia, Florida.  We are finalizing the last details and hope to post all the details next week.  Stay Tuned.  Jack

University of Wyoming. We get a better deal there because we're alumni (alumnus??). Not as good as the free energy money they
throw at their in-state students, but still not bad.
