Anyone want to do this one this year? Several of us did a similar thing here in the springs, but I don't think I will participate in that mess again. The one in Denver gets a lot of good reports from those who attend, so I would personally like to make the trip. The one in the springs last year had a huge turnout, but the meeting after the parade/caravan was a complete nightmare. The raffle/meet and greet was at a bar downtown. Extremely crowded, people were too selfish to get out of their seats after they were done eating, so many of us stood the whole 3+ hours, with our kids, who ended up eating their food while sitting on the restaurant floor. Screw that.

Who wants to add a nice line of built KJ's (stockers too :wink:

) to the Denver Caravan?

I will try to attend I have always maintaned that Christmas is for the Children. Last year in fact King Soopers in the persuit of the almighty Dollar decided to remain opened on Christmas. Although I had enough Seniority to take the day off with pay, plus the fact I was opposed to the store being opened that day. I discovered that some employees would be required to work that day. Seeing that these young people who had youngsters at home would be forced to work for no other reason then they hadn't been employed long enough to take the day off. I ellected to work that day so they could have this sacred day with their loved ones as it is ment to be. I thought the grocery chain had learned it's lesson when on Thanksgiving the store had lost over being $10,000.00 . But NOOOOO the gready ba$tards decided that the all mighty dollar was more important then family. If I can be of assistance in this event I will be more then happy to donate my time if I can. Being as many know currently financilally embarassed, I will still do what ever I can to assist. I will stay in touch.

I attended last year and if I am in town this year I will be attending again. Last year I was in the Rubi but I had been thinking I would take the Liberty this year. Its was a lot of fun, met some great people and had a good time.

Well I am going with some fellow wheelers over today, although I won't be in the Libby this time. Looks like a Rubi kind of day. If you see a guy in a red base ball cap thats in deperate need of a hair cut driving a red Rubi, that will be me. Hope everyone that can will come out and donate a toy or two for the kids.

It was nice to meet you and see your Jeep up close and personal. Man those bumpers are even nicer when you can actually touch them!
