| Pear burner - think of a flame thrower and you're close. It got the name from ranchers who would burn the thorns off the prickly pear cactus so livestock could eat them. |

| I can't go because of a prior commitment, but my pear burner will go as long as someone reminds me at the party...
That will help with the JN bonfire... |

| For reference it's unlikely I'll make this event, as I'll probably still be in South Africa on business (or a few days of sight-seeing after) at that time... |

| The main event is scheduled for 1 May 2010 at Hidden Falls Adventure Park. As usual fun, food and entertainment will be provided. Make sure that you are a part of this great event and PRE-REGISTER now! We are now signing up soldiers, drivers and volunteers. Now is your chance to sign up for a great event!
We are expecting about 250 soldiers and families from Ft. Hood, BAMC, and the Austin Chapter of the Order of the Purple Heart. Not only do we have plenty off-roading planned but we have activities for everyone involved from the youngest to the oldest. Activities include a Moon Bounce, Face Painting, Balloon Artist, and the Humpty Dumpty Course. Live bands will be playing throughout the day for everyone's entertainment concluding with Paula Nelson (Willie's daughter). Local off-roading clubs and the Austin Chapter of the Order of the Purple Heart will be severing breakfast, lunch and dinner for our participants and guests.
We are asking wheelers to donate their rig to be used for this event as we did last year. You will drive your rig and a soldier or their family members Saturday. Pre-registered Drivers will pay a fee of $75.00 and includes up to three passengers, wheeling Friday - Sunday, three meals and entertainment on Saturday, as well as two nights of primitive camping. Those who show up at the gate will pay regular park fees. You must register before April 23rd.

Still working on the price. Hidden Falls site currently says $60 for the driver and $30 for each passenger. Later it says $75 for the driver and up to three passengers. I'm trying to get clarification on this now. I'll have it up on the WFTW-SA site shortly.
What we have on the site currently is just for pre-registration just so we can get an idea of how many rigs and free seats are available. We are also trying to get our warriors and volunteers to pre-register as well. We will have an actual registration available on the site with the ability to pre-pay. Email will be sent to those that pre-register to alert them when I get that function up and running. |
