Van's Dinner at OSH

[Thermos]

I've been looking periodically at Vans website over the last couple of months and haven't seen an advertisement for tickets to their dinner at OSH.

Have I missed something? Have the tickets sold out already, or have they just not gone on sale yet? Or is there something else going on?

They haven't made mention of them as far as I know. It usually hits their website and that hasn't happened yet. Maybe they are foregoing this year?

I don't know what the status of this year's dinner is but it wouldn't surprise me at all if they've bagged it. Van's has wanted to stop doing this for a few years now.

A couple of years ago --2008 -- we had agreed to merge their dinner with the RV BBQ in Camp Scholler (they approached me), but then things came up and I had to drop out.

I think the RV community has really changed in the last 5 or 6 years and it makes these big events less likely. The RV-10er isn't like the RV12er who isn't like the RV-9er. The bigger the "community" gets, the more it is beset by problems communities have and I think this is no different.

There are people you want to hang out with in the community and people you don't want to hang out with in the community, so I suspect these large events will be replaced by a bunch of smaller ones.

I have my reservations. Will be flying in Sunday for the whole week. Look for a candy apple red, white and black RV-7A in Home Built Camping and stop by for a cold (root) beer.
