Looks like the weather is going to be perfect for next Saturday the 18th. The color change on the trees is coming into full beauty. Should be an awesome drive to Elkhart !

We have a nice long list of participants already signed up and ready to attend. If you plan to participate please let me know ASAP as we will be bringing in a ton of food but want to be fairly accurate.

The event starts at 10:00. Lunch is at noon. We will have Viper discussions, go for a quick drive through downtown Elkhart and will likely finish up around 4:00. I will be sending out individual e-mails to each registrant which will include the agenda in more detail a few days before the event.

Thanks and hope to see you soon !

Hello Everyone:

Right now the weather forecast shows rain for both Saturday and Sunday. Bummer.

"Right now the forecast shows dry for Friday, Saturday and Sunday here in Elkhart, Indiana. Cool, but dry...

Just FYI if anyone plans to trailer in their car we have ample space for parking across the street on our adjacent property.

Also if anyone would still like to attend but has not yet registered on our new list please contact me.

An agenda will be e-mailed out soon.

Thanks,

Its still early and people are more than likely still driving home but, is there going to be someplace other than social media where pics will be posted? I saw 1 or 2 on Reddit already but was wondering if there would be more on here. Hope everyone had a great time and get those snakes home safe.

"Thanks to everyone who was able to attend our gathering this year. Despite the rain postponement we had a tremendous showing of Vipers and Viper owners !

Special thanks to Gordon Mock for video procurement and his communication work through the Facebook forums. Also thanks to Don Anderson for his wonderful music. Thanks to Justin and EQU Media for the photography. Thanks to Scott Snider for providing security. Thanks to my wife and family for set up assistance and food handling and of course a special thanks to John Donato, Ken Nowak and Dick Winkles from Team Viper for the Viper discussion. Good stuff !

We will shoot for the 3rd Saturday of October next year and hope to see you there.

Take Care,
Ray Sweers"
