I will not be updating our website for next five (5) days days or so. I am doing an accident invetsigation for an electric company lineman that as lost his life due to a high voltage contact. Many, many reports, presentations and OSHA meetings. Thank you for your patience. (8/12/10). Enjoy the Gathering of the Orange....take some pictures and post them in our photo album. 

More pictures are being posted in the "Photo Album". So far I have downloaded pictures from the Van Tuyl's of Kansas. Thanks Rick, Tammy and Josh for all of the pictures! I am not done downloading yet. Then I have to make a folder that member Tom Foss took many pictures of the show, too. Keep checking the photo albums and see what our show looked like.

We are have had quite a bit of forum activity on our website. This forum is very important to the club and its board members to hear good and constructive criticism. As any newspaper accepts "Letters to the Editor" column, but only prints editorials when the author signs their name. It would be appreciated that authors would include their own name with the post.   Thank you.    We will get through these concerned times. We all have to work on making things better before, during and after the future of many Orange Spectaculars!

It's not too early to start planning for the 20th Annual Orange Spectacular/Gathering of the Orange July 22, 23 & 24, 2011. We would like to encourge seven (7) people to oversee one the following responsibilities. 

I could help you coordinate the activity and show/tell you how to schedule volunteers:

1). Dust control
2). Yard/entertainment set-up
3). Parking
4). Signing
5). Raffle ticket sales/seminar set-up
6). People mover/transportation coordinator
