It is with great sadness and regret that Gail and I will no longer be able to host the National HDT Rally. I truly would hate to see the rally just fade away as so many people have benefited from it. I am looking for someone to step up and take over so others can continue to take advantage of the benefits that the rally provides. You wouldn’t be stepping into it cold. I will turn over to whoever takes on the task all of the equipment that I have accumulated over the years. That would include the sound system, PA, projector, video screen, computer, the Blackstone griddle used for the breakfasts, all of the kitchen equipment and more. If you are interested in taking over the National HDT Rally, please contact me at sdixon747@gmail.com. We can then arrange a time for a phone call to discuss details of what is involved.

So sorry to hear that Rod. Hope it doesn't turn out to be anything too serious. See ya when you get here.

PreRally Rally The "PreRally Rally" is well under way! Happy Hour everyday at 4:00. Meeting new friends and reacquainting with friends from years past. Even with the FMCA Rally being here, as of 10:30 this morning (Thursday) there are still 19 full hookup sites available. If or when those fill up, there are still many, many water/electric sites available. Most if not all of the FMCA group will be gone by Sunday morning where you will be free to move to your favorite site. Come on in, we're lookin' forward to seein' ya!

The regular rate is $30 per night but if you tell them you are with the National HDT Rally the rate is only $24 per night. There is another rally going on the week prior to the National HDT Rally, but I have been told there is plenty of parking for those of us coming in early for the “PreRally Rally”.

Pre Rally Rally Thursday Happy Hour

Bad case of alcohol abuse!

Gail said you can’t come if you don’t bring it. 🤪

Karen Watts made a nice Promo Video for the National HDT Rally! Thanks Karen!!! Registration is still open. Go to NationalHDTRally.com to register .

HHRV has some great info. I still use it occasionally either with an iPad or MBP. I always thought a phone makes a lousy computer. With Drupal 7 going away, I hope that doesn’t mean that we will lose HDTRally.com There is a lot of great historical info about past HDT Rallies. I don’t know what is involved with converting it to WordPress. Then it could all be saved on the NationalHDTRally.com site.

A little over 60 so far. We expect 70 give or take a little. Registration is still open! Go to NationalHDTRally.com to register.

Dennis, you will be missed! Looks like we are going to have a good turnout this year. Good luck with the new puppy! Steve

Just a reminder, today, September 14th is the last day to get your early registration discount for the National HDT Rally. Today is also the last day to order an event t-shirt. Tomorrow, the registration fee will go from $95 per person to $105. The registration will still be open after today but at the higher price and no t-shirt.

It’s always more fun when you are there! Are you going to join us this year? We’ve missed you.

People have asked “What do I get for my registration fee?” Well, in addition to a week of fun and learning with seminars presented by some of the foremost experts in the field of using an HDT in RV service, we have several meals catered in throughout the week. Pizza and Subs on opening night and Barbecue on Wednesday. We have an ice cream social with more flavors than Baskin-Robbins.Friday night is “Pot Luck”.

Everyone is welcome. The early registration discount has been extended through September 14th. Go to NationalHDTRally.com to register.

Rod, you will be missed. Sorry you can't make it. I would like to hear what you have to say about masks. I certainly respect your opinion as a nurse that is in the thick of it. You can PM me if you would rather. Stay Safe and Healthy Steve

The National HDT Rally is on! I have been in touch with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, Hutchinson/Reno County Chamber of Commerce, and the Kansas State Fair Administration. They all agree that with common sense precautions it is safe to have the National HDT Rally. For example following the CDC recommended social distancing, hand sanitizing, and recommend wearing a mask when indoors or when you can’t socially distance. Hand sanitizing stations will be setup in the buildings and I will have a limited supply of masks available upon request. Tables etc. will be sanitized daily with hospital grade disinfectant. We feel that the National HDT Rally will be safe informative and fun. We encourage everyone to come out and join us. I have extended the early registration discount to September 14th. To register, go to NationalHDTRally.com and click on REGISTER.

Welcome to the forum. I would recommend that you come to the National HDT Rally in Hutchinson, KS October 11 to 17. Get all your questions answered and plenty of hands on time too.
