I can't beleive we're only a couple weeks away from this years event! Our whole staff has been feverishly working on keeping our web site information up to date so you'll know what we know - as soon as we know it! Everyday it seems more evetns, concerts and activities are added. This week we found out about fun new events. Brand new to the line up are activities in Cassadega - home of the famous Spiritualist Camp located on the west side of the County. This location has been featured on several TV shows and specials and is the unique home to some of the world's leading psychic's. If you love spiritual communications, physical phenomena and interesting facts and anecdotes about the world beyond than this will be a stop you'll surely want to add during your visit. Camp mediums will be offering readings, healing meditations, workshops on communicating with the so-call dead and historical walking tours. Now that is totally unexpected - but could be fun.

We've also got word on a new Harley Outlet (yep we said outlet) that will be opening its doors just in time for the event. The new location is at 777 Main Street just next door to Hot Action Leathers. Who couldn't resist a visit there to pick up some great Harley-Davidson merchandise at bargin prices!

We've got another wedding planner too who will be marrying people on the beach during the event. Now that's a souvenior (or a great way to remember your anniversary). Look for the listing on our Calendar of Events for details.


Add to that radio hosts, biker publications, vendors and more all calling and emailing to let us know there are on their way and looking forward to hanging around for a nice long, fun weekend with all of you. Our phones haven't stopped ringing with all the questions, comments and excitement you would expect right before a big event. There's even people here already who just couldn't wait!

Lots of businesses in our area want us to make sure everyone knows that they are really happy to welcome you to our destination and look forward to rolling out that red carpet just for you.

We did also hear of new legislation taking effect this October which heavily fines anyone caught with excessive speeds of 50MPH or more over posted speed limits, doing wheelies and vertically mounting and/or hiding license plates (now all must be installed horozontally). Locally our law enforcement says "if someone wants the attention, we'll give it to them". So be smart, ride safe.

We're also in the final stages of putting together our free promotional items to give away. We've got the popular 2008 Pocket Guides which list all the events and activities plus the 2009 posters, wallet cards and more. Please do stop by our Visitor Centers for your free supplies while they last.

Be sure to check back again as we get even closer to the event dates. Keep in touch with us and let us know what your thinking. We created this event for you so be sure to tell us what you like, want, need ,expect - you name it. It's your chance to create the event you want and our chance to tell you just how much we enjoy having you visit and participate with us.

Until next week........
