3rd Annual Dakota USA Nationwide Meet in Ohio

Its that time of year again! This time the 3rd Annual Nationwide meet is shaping up to be huge! For the people that have come the previous years, everything is going to be bigger and better. After last years showing of 40+ participants, we are hoping to be able to smash that mark and improve on it again this year. All types of Dakotas / Durangos are welcome at this event. We had numerous R/T's show up last year, and this year we were hoping for even more!

The site for this years meet is once again at Rockbridge, Ohio at the Farmers Flea Market. They have been very generous to us the years previous and have pledged to let us use their site again. The market is located at Farmers Flea Market on US33

The meet begins around noon on Saturday the 20th, and will begin with a show and shine truck show until 4pm. At that time, prizes and awards will be given out. Along with the prizes, there will be a 50-50 raffle, corn hole contest, and other contests. Also this year will be the "Furthest Distance Traveled to the Meet" award which will be a gas card awarded to the person who traveled the furthest to come to the meet. Various sponsors of the meet will also be on hand with prizes and information such as Line-X, Valvoline, Amsoil, etc...

New for this year is having the services of a photographer who will be taking pictures of all the vehicle who attend the meet. Cd's of the pictures will be available for purchase. Also, Dakota USA merchandise will be available for purchase.

Also new this year is organized camping. We have a campground that is holding a section open for all people who would like to camp for the weekend, or just for that night. The campground is located at the Lakeview RV Park (http://www.lakeviewrvpark.net/). Please contact them at 740-653-4519 and ask for Joey. Make sure to mention the Dakota meet to receive a discounted rate. Tent camping and RV camping is available.

After the show, the rumblings are looking like a barbecue will be happening at the campground. The pavilion has been rented at the campground for any after show festivities.

Caravans have been forming from areas such as Michigan, Pennsylvania, and even the lower states such as Mississippi. If you would like to join up in the caravan, please get the information of the general meeting area from the Caravan Thread (http://www.dakotausa.com/vBulletin/showthread.php?t=43567).
