The Great Southeastern LX Shindig!

**DawsonMagnum** · 01-20-2006, 07:12 PM

Come one, Come all!

This summer will see the first ever Southeastern Regional LXForums.com meet 'n' greet 'n' eat! We are a "go" for July 29th and the location is the Georgia National Fairgrounds in Perry, Ga.:

http://www.gnfa.com/

It's huge! It's air conditioned! And you can park your LX Inside! It's PERFECT! So mark your calendars! Pack your bags! Throw your kids in the back and come on down to meet THOUSANDS* of your fellow LXForums members!

*this is only an estimate and is quite likely a gross exaggeration, but what the hay!

Sorry, but if you're not in the southeast region, you must move to a location east of the mississippi river and south of the mason and dixon line before you'll be allowed to attend.

Seriously, though, COME ON DOWN! The more the merrier! I'll trade you a pail of peaches or some boiled peanuts for a good chunk of Wisconsin cheddar!! Yum!

It's about a 10 hour ride for me from Richmond, VA, so put me down as tentative.

Would we like some rain down here on a sweltering summer day? Did Rose Kennedy own a black dress?!? HECK YEAH!

Anyone not from the south is welcome to attend, as long as you bring your y'alls and southern accents with you!

Will have to talk to hubby...but will do my best! I am assuming this is a fully family friendly event?

Speaking as someone who doesn't have his own family as yet, I'm not sure I am aware of all the nuances of what "fully family friendly" means. I can tell you that this is definitely *not* an "adults only" soiree' (pronounced 'swah-rai' for all you unsophistimacated non-southerners that might be reading this

). Beyond that, if you have any specific questions about things, fire away!

I guess I just wanted to be sure my 4 year old will be welcome! Perhaps, if enough people are coming with kids, it would be worthwhile to be sure to have some kid events to keep the kids occupied so the adults could enjoy some conversation and mingling?

Sounds like a great idea! If we get confirmation that more than a handful of children will be there (and I suspect that will be the case) we'll definitely work up some kind of activities for them.
