- David & Leslie August 14 And where would that be? Or are you asking? If you're asking, then put a question mark (?) after your question.
  
  If you're asking, then I've heard Bend, OR has a couple of well respected firms.

RS&MS:
August 13It appears that the city of Minot party on Tue/Aug 13 for FMCA rally attendees referred to below from Marvin & Patricia Mon 12:29PM is in conflict with the Chapter Fair for new FMCA attendees.
- Susan and Roger August 13 The shuttles leave every half hour I believe it’s over at 8
- Ladynomad2005 August 13 The downtown party is from 4-8. First timers is 3-3:45 and chapter fair is 3:45-4:45. You still have time to spend several hours downtown at the party.
- Ladynomad2005 August 13 The downtown part also conflicts with card bingo. That's the way things are. Seminars, entertainment etc, you have to pick which things you are interested
Marvin & Patricia:
August 12Just found out where we pick up our welcome packet.
Minot is throwing us a party
Starting at 3:30 pm on Tuesday, shuttles will pick us up in front of the main building and take us downtown. Wear your name tags, some businesses and restaurants are giving d... more

Gus&Gail :
August 10Will there be service companies at Minot to make repairs on our motorhome roof A/C that went out on our way up to event?
- Marvin & Patricia August 10 Probably not. I would go over to the service desk early on whatever day they open up and see if a vendor can help you.Perhaps someone from the factory your RV was made in may possibly be there. Please if your are a first timer, don't miss your meet... more

  JLapica August 10 I got my email, it says first timers come in Monday the 12th. I'm going alone, we live 75 miles away so husband wants to come help me set up and then leave. Do you think that will be ok?
- Marvin & Patricia August 11 Yes, that is ok. He won't be able to go onto the grounds where seminars, etc are happening. He can come along to the parking area and help you set up.

  Marv and I will be at coffee and donuts in the morning close to 9 AM. If it is chilly, I will be wearing a burgundy jacket with "Marvs Diesel & Truck Repair" on the back. I will have a blue bag with Minot on it. We both are mentors.
