Charity Sled Build Day

[WinnipegStPaul9]

For those close enough to Fort Wayne, Indiana please remember to mark October 3rd on your calendar as that's the day we'll assemble the charity sled. Our goal is to debut it at the A-1 Show in early November. DA

Well, build day is only three weeks away and everything seems to be coming along fine. PJ is planning on Pizza and pop during the day. What I'm needing to know is:
Who all is coming?
Are you interested in going out that night for a meal together?
Do you need lodging?

Please post your thoughts here, thanks!

Here is the address to the shop and I will have some sort of JD sled placed in out the front yard so anyone can find it easily in our industrial park. We are only about 3 miles off the I-69 Expressway, so it's *SUPER* easy to find and there are numerous motels, resturants, movie theaters, fuel stations, grocery stores and shopps within 3 miles of the shop too. Oh, almost forgot- there is also a Redi-Med about 2 miles away for DA and Bob, as I'm sure they'll need it...

We're startin' bright and early at 8 am!

Just a quick reminder of the JDSleds.com Charity Sled Build Day coming up this Saturday, October 3rd.

Here is the address to the shop and I will have some sort of JD sled placed out in the front yard so anyone can find our building easily in our industrial park. We are only about 3 miles off the I-69 Expressway, so it's *SUPER* easy to find and there are numerous motels, restaurants, movie theaters, fuel stations, grocery stores, hardware stores, and shopps within 3 miles of here too.

DA is bringing over a bunch of parts he has for the sled on Tuesday and I'll have everything organized for us on Saturday, with coffee/doughnuts in the mornin' and pizza/pop for lunch. I figure once we get everyone here, we can take an arial "group photo" of us all together with the sled and the related parts all surrounding us before she goes back together for the last time. Maybe someone can bring some sort of "jdsleds.com" banner or something to include in the photo?

We're startin' bright and early at 8 am, so be there or be square and.....oh, almost forgot- there is also a Redi-Med about 2 miles away for DA and Bob, as I'm sure they'll need it...

See ya!

We are loaded up and ready to hit the road bright and early in the morning. Unfortunately there is no snow in the forecast, so the drive should be good!

Looks good Kevin, we're ready for ya!

DA took charge of the coffee making, so if it tastes like dirty socks.....blame him.

I snapped a few pics of the corner of the shop where everyone will come together to put this thing together.

I will say this... I've never seen so many NOS vintage John Deere snowmobile parts in one place, in all my life and I must also say, I'm super-impressed by everyone's generosity in the selfless giving of their time, services, money and parts to make all of this happen. Unreal...and my hat's off to all of you that have contributed!!!

Someone is going to be a very proud owner of this thing when the smoke clears and our chosen charities are the real benefactor's of all of this!

See you guy's in the morning and here are the pics taken tonight. Enjoy!
