IH Parts America Of Loomis CA, in conjunction with NorCal Scouts and scouts west, presents
the 2nd annual International Harvester Sierra Fall Rallye. As with it's inaugural year, the rallye will be returning to lake francis resort at dobbins, CA, the weekend of October 10-12, 2008. The resort is located between marysville and Grass Valley. Lake francis resort is operated by a non-profit organization providing services to foster children in northern California. [ a pdf of the rallye flyer follows ]
To those of you who attended and/or supported the first rallye… a big thank you. Because of your participation, a first-time gathering of International Harvester trucks in northern California went way beyond it’s initial expectations of a handful of local sponsors and maybe 15-20 trucks. By closing, we counted 42 IH vehicles and had sponsor representation from many IH dealers nationwide…not bad. This year, the rallye will relocate from the courtyard area to it’s new home turf; the large open meadow behind the gazebo. Remember, the gazebo is where we had dinner. Being out in the open space is ideal for us and our Saturday activities. Of course, there will still be the Saturday night bbq dinner – Sunday morning breakfast – Friday trail rides – Saturday show’n’shine – people’s choice award – raffle – camping – the lake. Everybody liked that; it was a nice touch.
Realizing the success of the rallye from last year, we made it a little better this year. A mini-rubicon will be jointly constructed between NorCal Scouts and a crew from lake francis resort, so bring the wheeler,
and scouts west sponsoring a continental breakfast and chili-dog lunch on Saturday,
and Michael, kathy and the guys from IHSTO will be on board Sunday morning sharing some of the breakfast cooking duties with their famous, or is that infamous flapjacks. Between the resorts amenities, the food, scouts games, trail rides, the rockpile and a mellowing evening campfire, there’s plenty to do on Saturday. Oh yeah, the band --
Mad dash -- will be playing Saturday afternoon during show’n’shine and “playtime”. For those of you who remember last year's show, see why the field would be the perfect place for our rallye? It's time to pass the word. One last party before winter sets in.
