Joe Ditchkus Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I received an e-mail that there is no room for me at the luncheon. I sent in my request July 21. I do not know how they choose who goes or not to luncheon. I am pretty sure i got pushed to the back of the line by someone with more stripes. Let them keep it.

Joe Ditchkus Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 I do not care about the meal. It is the politics and the way they choose. I guess there is favoritism everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coenut Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I received one as well. I figured it is because I am not bringing a truck this year. No big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer52 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Trucktoberfest show is open to the public (at least it was in the past) so if you just want to come and see the trucks, nothing stopping you. Just bring your own sammich. The spaces are limited for trucks and same with the luncheon but do not know the selection criteria. I thought it was first come first served. Doug Maney at the Museum is the person to direct your concern. In past years there were many empty seats (no shows?) at the luncheon.

1958 F.W.D. Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) Space is limited for the luncheon. Attendees are selected on a first-come, first-served basis. Museum Volunteers receive slots as well. And finally, when Greensboro calls up and says "Hey can you please save 10 seats for so-and-so who will be in town that weekend" it translates into "you will save 10 seats for so-and-so who will be in town that weekend." So yes, unfortunately some folks have been bumped, please do not be offended. This is the first year that this has happened. Some thought is being put into next year's event that will hopefully eliminate this issue. Edited October 18, 2017 by 1958 F.W.D.

farmer52 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Yardo... Is there going to be a "training/tutoring session" at the Nunnery on Friday night? BTW, I heard "mother Volvo" dictated the date for Trucktoberfest. Luckily the weather is forecast to be nice (keeping my fingers crossed). Roll Hauler goes into hibernation on Sunday.

I believe I recall hearing something about Greensboro and/or Gothenburg may have dictated the date. Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
