Hey, Lake of the Ozarks is only about 5 hours north of Little
Rock...Y'all can count on my attendance and I'll see if I can shake up
some of the more lethargic Spridget weenies around here too. I'll have
the old beaten up "Punkin Seed" orange Mk2 Sprite looking as good as
possible (which is no easy task). By the way, If you're planning to
drive your Spridgets (as opposed to trailering) don't forget to budget
some time to enjoy the awesome Ozark mountains range. It's one of the
best driving & scenic opportunities you'll ever find.

Bud,
Do a Google search for "Lake of the Ozarks" and surf around. Beautiful
scenery and some of the best Spritely roads in the US. Great stuff for
the family to do - even tons of factory outlet stores for the wife to
cruise through! We think the venue group did a superb job in finding
this location which has all of the above plus being centrally located
for people from right and left coasts, Canada to Mexico. The event
should be a total winner for Spridget people. Of course the good folks
with the MGCC and AHCA are welcome too, but this will be one where the
Spridgets rule and most especially the BEs!! Looking forward to
seeing you there!
Cheers!!
Jim - 68 Midget in Dodge City
