Pigeon Forge roll call - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

PanelDeland · 04-20-2002, 10:44 AM

OK gang, who all is goin' to be making the trip to The GMC/Chevy Truck Nationals in beautiful Pigeon Forge Tenn.They are the 3-4-5 of May.The NSRA nats are in Knoxville Tenn. the same weekend.
My Uncle Sam got into my truck budget so I won't be bringing LIZ but I really enjoy meeting the BB members and looking at the cool trucks.
Since I won't be entering a truck I was hoping someone else would be and would possibly have an awning they would share some shade.My wife will go but isn't happy sitting in the sun.
Let me know if you are going and we can set a meeting spot.

I will find out tuesday if I have to work. If I dont have to work I will be their.

LT-102 · 04-20-2002, 11:18 AM

Wife and I will arrive on the evening of the 3rd. Can't wait, I'm like a little kid wishing for Christmas to hurry up and get here. This is our first time there, will there be many vendors?

PanelDeland · 04-20-2002, 03:03 PM

Usually are quite a few vendors though not many were up to the standards most of the vendors on this board set.There were quite a few 67-72 vendors and probably 8 or so BB members last year.

Who is going to take pictures of all the '67 - '72 trucks and post them for those of us that are just too far away to even consider the trip?

PanelDeland · 04-21-2002, 01:57 PM

I'm working on a way to make sure we can all meet.I'll be wearing my shirt and I'm sure others will also.David King will probably see us all since he is supposed to be selling parts.

Knoxville71shortbed · 04-22-2002, 08:55 AM

Is there a web site where there is some info about this show? I checked on the Pigeon Forge events web site, and they don't have the show listed. I've been planning on attending this show for 6 months. My wife wants to make other plans, because she says that there isn't a Chevy Truck show scheduled in Pigeon Forge. Someone help me out here. Where can I get info about this show? Thanks.

Tennman · 04-22-2002, 12:23 PM

My wife and i will be at The Governer's Inn for the show around dinner Sat. We will be driving my ole 71 4x4 again. Hope to see ya'll there. I think we all need to meet ....

stmoore · 04-22-2002, 12:59 PM

k'ville 71.. there is a Chevrolet & GMC show May 3,4,5 at Governors Palace Theatre at Governors Crossing. This is actually Sevierville but most folks still call it Pigeon Forge. I will be there as well as most folks in this thread. Sounds like wifey is not real excited about it. For motel info call 800-523-3919

PanelDeland · 04-23-2002, 09:43 PM

Tennman,I think Race has used up his fun tickets(US Greenbacks,dead Presidents or whatever you call them) buying a home.I know he would like to be there again and I wish we all could get there more than once a year. I hope we get a picture of about 20-30 or more members this year.We gotta beat last years 8 or was it 9?
Looking forward to seeing as many of the members as can make it.
