Believe it or not I am from Vincennes and in Vincennes and I've never been to the Spirit of Old Vincennes Rendevous because I have always felt it was too touristy for me. I am checking it out this year just to see some of the venders and because I've heard the grub is good.
Maybe we can get some of this websites sponsors to be vendors and sponsors of this event.
To start the actual planning of this event....... How does the second weekend in August sound?

I will try to make it. I should be in Otwell for two weeks and August sounds good.

I'm definitely down for it. If you all need a location, I've definitely got one.

OK Kemperor spill it!

I'll through my Ohio hat in... I can adjust my schedule most of the time.

It is a bit of a drive, but I'd be interested.

Are you jiggy for it?

At my weight and age.....jiggy just getting up for more coffee.

That there is funny, I don't care who you are!

I know of 110 acres of wooded land near Gosport. Has a freshwater spring. Actually set up pretty well for a thing such as this. It's private property.

You talk as if permission is assured, are you? because if so I guess we have a location.

110 acres huh? OK, how long after your jamboree do I wait before I have to come down and find y'all wherever you wandered off to?:whistling:

Local Militia Rescued

Indiana State Police announced late this afternoon that all of the members of the Hoosier Jamboree have been found. Sixteen members of the Hoosier Jamboree, a group state police are calling a splinter militia group, were lost amid 100 acres of forested land here in Indiana. According to reports, the group had spent the week-end testing their skills when they became disoriented in the woods. Several aerial flares were used in an effort to attract rescuers but the flares only succeeded in burning four tents and three tarps.

"They had more gear in there than the 1st Infantry Division," said Captain Dobbins of the highway patrol. "Unfortunately, no one knew how to use any of it. It's just fortunate that Nora the Squirrel called us before anyone was seriously hurt. Other than being disoriented, wet and cold, everyone was fine."

In other news, Nora the Squirrel has been nominated for a humanitarian award by Governor Mitch Daniels.

"They had more gear in there than the 1st Infantry Division," said Captain Dobbins of the highway patrol.
You at least got that part right....


Trax, if I wander off it's so I won't be found.

They're all too tall for the Traxistanian military, it's a long story ..about being short...never mind.

We'd never fit on the Shetland Ponies, that's for sure. (And they'd never support us, either).

Hey! Traxistan has a canine unit.

Yeah but all he's trained to do is stop bacon export.

Has anyone confirmed a location for the jamboree?
