The Fresno/Central Valley Chapter cordially invites all FReepers and Lurkers in good standing to attend our 5th Annual Free Republic Rally and Tailgate Picnic (and FR's 10th Anniversary celebration) to be held on September 8th and 9th, 2006.
Our rally will begin at 5:00 pm and end at 8:30 pm Friday night, at the corner of Blackstone and Shaw in Fresno. Afterwards, the group will retire for dinner, refreshments and good fellowship at a nearby restaurant (time and place to be announced).
Special note: About 150 members of the Youth Group of the Riverdale Assembly of God will be attending our rally. Some of them will be arriving between 5:00 and 5:30 and the rest after 6:00 pm. They may also be bringing their sound truck to use as a stage. Those of you who were with us a couple years ago when they did this will remember what a thrill it was to have this group join us. This rally promises to be a huge patriotic success. You won't want to miss it!
Our tailgate pot-luck picnic will be at Woodward Park on Saturday, September 9th. We've reserved the "Gazebo" area for the full day. We'll probably start arriving about 1:00 pm and will dine and party till dark.
The entrance to Woodward Park is on Audubon Drive, just off Freeway 41 (Friant Road Exit) on the northern edge of Fresno. The Gazebo area is near the center of the park (see park map).
Bring your flags, banners, signs, family and children. Prepare to support your country and enjoy the company of your good FReeper friends!

Now, how cool is that? ........

I felt kind of funny the next day. Maybe I DID fall over, but I don't remember.
It was probably a good thing they are out of focus. LOL
We work fast. In fact, we're just a blur we're so fast.
Thankfully for the public, you captured the good side of Enterprise. The back side, the side that doesn't scare them so much.
They do look better that way, don't they?
*ducking*
I look younger.
It's not nice to scare the public. Better that the pictures were blurred.
Thankfully no one took a video of the project. We would never have heard the end of it.
Congrats on keeping old traditions alive.
Remember - "All things in Moderation, including your Excesses!"
Prost Eins!
At dinner the night before at The Olive Garden Chey Robertos they serve everything with the Universal Redneck Utensil:
Heh...Thanks for stopping by.
A couple of years ago I wore my "LOL" shirt to the picnic...
To be a true redneck utensil, it must be rusty and engraved with "Olympia".
It was great meeting you as well Syncro. We had a great time and met a lot of good FRiends.
It's one of my favorite events bar none.
Glad you and "Rally Babe" made it.
:>)
Thnaks for the idea for next year.
Oh I have the video...LOL
