Good luck to you folks. It sounds like a great time. I love The whole area up there. We will be up the week before at the Shawnee Wine Festival in Cobden.

The logo we are using was in JPG format, and had to be completely rebuilt with new graphics to make sure it didn't dither when it was screen printed. Essentially it will be a solid orange Africa, The same wording in the same colors, but the Cape to Cairo path across Africa will be the same color as the yellow wording.

Looks like shirts will be around $15.00 for less than 25 of them. Coffee mugs that won't fad will be $10.00. I can get other items as well (Patches, coasters, etc, etc).

On Edit: They work fast!

I have looked into stickers but they are kind o expensive since you need the quantity price break. I will continue to look though.

I really wish I could join you but I live 450 miles away from Cobden. I will be doing a quick three day weekend without the airstream. I am going to be working on my retirement property and scoping out the Wine festival. Maybe next time. I just missed your Wren Lake rally by one week. I was up the week before or after I don't remember and I had my airstream with me. I was working on the land. My wife and I do plan on making it to one of your Rally's. My wife only gets on week in the summer for vacation. She takes her other week over Christmas. I don't get off work until the end of May and I go back this year the last week of July.

I am impressed with how you guys get it all together. That is great!

Steve, can you e mail me a copy of the Africa logo? I'm in the mood to play with the embroidery machine.

I hope nobody is offended that I cut out poor Madagascar from the pic. I had to MOVE IT MOVE IT for a better picture.

On Edit: I just noticed a passed 3,000 posts. <------addict

Sugarfoot · 06-26-2009, 09:18 AM

Steve, congrats on passing 3000 posts!

mcair · 06-26-2009, 09:40 AM

Played with it some last night. It's not behaving quite like I want it to yet. I hope to have something to show by the weekend as soon as the current project is out of the way.

soldiermedic · 06-26-2009, 11:21 AM

Thanks Dacia,

No better thread to be posting on for the number 3,000 too!

I have received my quotes from two places I have inquired on for catering. Both places are exceeding what I needed to have it at in order to cover other things for the rally. Quotes so far have been $15 and $18 per head. I have a few ideas to play with the menu that I can cater. I cater my families 4th of July and Thanksgiving every year...this should be nothing. Is there anyone with any food allergies I should be aware of?

A nailed down menu will be coming forthright soon. Stay tuned.

Spent the afternoon almost ready to throw both of my computers out the window, but progress is being made! stay tuned.

Here are 3 versions of the embroidery design. I was hoping to show them off on fabric but Murphy seems to have gotten bored following Kevin around and is now haunting my embroidery machine. Until it has a dr. visit, you will have to be content viewing the paper templates.

Comments please. Which one do you like best. And what might be nice to change. I haven't decided yet where this is going. Steve suggested towels. May also do a tote bag or two.

THOSE ARE AWESOME!

I like them all. I like the idea of the gold "50" in there, but all of them look nice. Kudos to you McFamily (Allison), and I hope to see more in the future. Can I happily supply you a sweatshirt or two to experiment on?

I want to make a Missouri/Illinois picture with the route drawn on it. Then put 1959 over the Africa, and 2009 over the MO/IL with a 50 below it. Maybe not embroidery, but something.

You guys are amazing! We're so jealous that we cannot come along for this celebration!

76sovereign · 06-27-2009, 01:45 PM

I think Tote/shopping bags would be great!
