Graves Mountain Rally (Virginia), Labor Day Weekend 2021

[CGarbee]

For those who like to plan early...
The dates for 2021 are September 2-6, 2021.

So, I think that I have made all the edits to the website that I can until we decide on a shirt design and I get a better HTML editor and fix a couple of background issues (the registration form claims to be from 2018, but when you view the PDF, it will be the correct one...).

The website is:

Hope to see a bunch of you this fall at the event, and at the farm during the work weekends as we get ready...

Got it on the calendar, Cabell. Planning to come this time around, will be submitting my forms and payment in the next few weeks.

Looking forward to it!

I quit my new job so I could attend!

I'm dedicated!

Not sure if we'll make it. A dear friend told us to save the date for a wedding. Once they settle on the schedule of events, we might could make it down for a day or two, I hope.

Hello Cabell. Is the website down? Want to register but site seems to be offline.

We will be having a work weekend (trail clearing/trail preview) during the days leading up to the 4th of July. We will also have a event preparation weekend shortly before the event. Individuals who can join us for four combined complete days of volunteer labor during either of these work weekends will receive a TRAIL CREW shirt and other recognition at the Trailrides and Rally. You must register with me in advance (send me a message/email) for the work weekends so that we can coordinate volunteers and ensure that everyone is provided an opportunity to work and earn their Trail Crew membership.

The Graves family will once again have a massive fireworks display on the 4th, along with activities that afternoon...

I'll be at the farm from the morning of the 2nd through the morning of the 5th...

Hope that some of you can assist in getting things ready.

If you have tried to access the website in the past few days and haven't been able to...my brother (who owns the server hosting the site) just changed his ISP...
Apparently, there are a few hiccups in the connection (a new line was run from the access point to the building with the server...)...
Hopefully, it will be back on-line soon...

 

[CGarbee]

The letter that I send out via USPS to folks who are on the mailing list (aka, folks who have attended an event in the past...) should get mailed in the morning...
Included in it is a copy of this year's registration form...

I have attached the event letter, flyer, and registration form, to this post.

One of these days, I will enable online registration....

Meanwhile, mail the form to me....
Form is in this thread, on the event website, and was mailed to those who have attended previously....

Thanks!

The shirts have been ordered...
Price will be determined once the shop has completed the order and I know what the final costs are...
Chuck will have them for sale at the Registration/HQ Tent.
This year, we are honoring those who gave all in the service of our Country...

We had a great turnout for the trail cleanup weekend last week (coincided with Peach Day at Graves Mountain on July 25th...).
Had crews on both Doubletop and Graves Mountains ensuring that they are ready for our event...

 

[Bulldogger]

We're not going to be able to attend this year, unless we just drive out for the day Friday to say hello. Another event has taken priority this year.
