    Is there any info out there for Fall Fest this year? I lost the flyer that I recieved at Spring Fest so I was going to go to the fests webpage but that doesn't work and I can't find a single piece of info on GIRS right now. I remember it was November 10th in Cedar Rapids, but that's about all I remember. Can someone in charge of this please get on this and get some publicity out there. I had some people in Nebraska asking about it and I could only tell them what I remembered and didn't have any link to send them.

    Also, if someone could get some flyers made up I could pass them around to all the LFS's in Omaha and I have some friends from Lincoln that I could have them pass some around. Please PM me for my address

    I know it's summer and a lot of people have better things to do(along with the BOD changes), but this should be something easy to do since we already have the flyers made up.

    Thanks!

    Its in the works. It getting put together. There was a date set, but that date may not work now because of other larger things going on in Iowa City area at that time. I am sure Andy will chime in as soon as he catches this post. They have the venue for sure I know that.

    Fall Fest will be Saturday, November 10th at the Clarion Highlander Hotel in Iowa City.  We have a few details that we are finalizing with the Hotel and will be signing the contract shortly.  We'll be working on plans for speakers and/or demo's next.  Expect more details to follow soon.

    I'll be there and I'll be giving away an Algae Scrubber in the raffle.

     Could we get some more information regarding Fall Fest?  Other than the announcment that is would be  November 10th at the Clarion Highlander Hotel in Iowa City a month and a half ago, I haven't heard anything.

    There are so many things standing in my way this morning, I can hardly begin. Yet I have heard there are rumors of water. Maybe that is enough. ~ L.L. Barkat

    There's a post on the homepage about the speakers; Mark Vera and John Coppolino. There is a new "fests" website that has just come out, you can link to it under Home>Events>FallFest2012 or visit www.girsfests.com 

    There will be a new home page announcement within a week or so. Fliers are being distributed to the LFStores and regions this week. Stay tuned!
