Wow, I was just reviewing the history of the meet-up portion of this thread, starting at #2496, and see that not only did a few people vote last year for Branson or St. Louis, a few also voted for Kansas City. Missouri really was a fairly close second to South Dakota.
Hmm. Maybe it means Missouri or it’s governor is about to do something to distinguish itself.
The tour guide told me that so many people went to South Dakota last year and still now in the wake of Noem’s refusal to pass ‘rona rules that the locals are like, “Enough already. We don’t have room for you all in hotels.”
Between September 1 and September 15, we will vote on the weekend in June 2022 that the meet up will take place.
Here are the possibilities and their issues:
June 4 and 5 - Right after Memorial Day
June 11 and 12 - Graduations?
June 18 and 19 - Father’s Day and Juneteenth, which now
is a federal holiday
June 25 and 26 - The weekend before the 4th of July
weekend
See elsewhere in the thread as to why the month for this is June.
