Moderators topgun2 Posted June 13, 2023 Moderators Share Posted June 13, 2023 Nicely done. Glad to see Oliver represented and the guys from CGI were there too. Not too big and not too small - this size rally is just about right - at least for me. Congrats and I sure do hope that this becomes an annual affair.

Moderators SeaDawg Posted June 13, 2023 Moderators Share Posted June 13, 2023 This is the first year Oliver sent a rep, right? You all have done this several years, now. So great to see the New England family growing! And, having fun! 2 2008 Ram 1500 4 × 4 2008 Oliver Elite, Hull #12 Florida and Western North Carolina, or wherever the truck goes.... 400 watts solar.

"Well Done" Richard. He spent many hours and mikes putting this all together. Your efforts are greatly appreciated. Because of you many new and old Oliver owners have become lifelong friends... 2 hours ago, SeaDawg said: This is the first year Oliver sent a rep, right? You all have done this several years, now. So great to see the New England family growing! And, having fun! Matt Duncan joined us last year. This is actually our third year. The first year we did Maine owners by invitation. The second year was Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. Again by invitation via email. The primary reason for this was the campground is small, and has limited resourses. This year the thought process was to include all if New England. But to do this we had to search out for a larger venue. The primary reason was there are now 75 ± registered with Oliver and we didn't have a clue how many might even be interested in coming to the sea coast of Maine. Even so it wasn't widely published on social media, so as not to overwhelm the CG. What oh what will transpire next year? As most of this years attendees have already made reservations 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
