First winterfest was in 2000. So using all my fingers, I came up with this being the 10th anniversary of winterfest. The longest running NAXJA event? While I don't know for sure the Moab or Tellico events are probably close...

While I was in attica for the original winterfest weekend in 2000, I was scoping out the club and met/wheeled with those that were there...I then joined in May of 2000. Including that first one, I've made everyone except for the one that was not in Attica (which I don't really count as winterfest...but I digress)...

so that's 9 out of 10 for me...

how many have you made?

This will be my second one. An looking forward to many more to come :thumbup:
 
this'll be my fifth I think.
I remember meeting Les and his son Aaron
at my first WF. Do I have my math right Les.
my daughter Tater (Julianna) has been to all these with me.


John (lesslimited) watched as I got my first rocker panel ding\
on green trail because I didn't have my sliders yet.

I did miss the one in MO.

09' will be #5 for me. 04' was my first and I've hit them all since.

I couldn't remember, I had to go look at my toolbox with my WF decals!
 
How many of you can't count? Jeezus

:lecture:

You don't count the first one as an Anniversary. This is the ninth anniversary, but that means we have over a whole year to plan something special for the real 10th!

Sorry to bust your finger-counting skills macgyvr.

BTW this would be my third time attending Winterfest.

10th annual this year? next year is 10 year anniversary?

I always have trouble figuring out the annual/anniversary, what to count, what not to count thing...

6?

i know that I've been broke, rolled and cold.

I've been at a river, a campground and hotel (both haunted and not)

been drunk at all.

had straw to help with the mud, and the bus to shield against the wind.

I'm in my third major relationship and I've attended single.

Most of all, I've had some of the best times wheelin/bs'in in a little town called Attica.

Pretty sure the Sam clone was '04. BJ had just started kegging then.

That stuff was damn good, it convinced me to try homebrewing again.

'04 was my first, '05 I was in Hawaii but participated by phone, and I believe it was Okie Terry that was tossing the straw bales on the fire in '06. I have a pic from across the campground of the 20' flames :scared:

I froze my butt off at the '07 Attica WF, made the first day of the Missouri WF and drank too much at the campfire that night. Froze again sleeping in the van, then drove home with a killer hangover and went to Maui the next day.

'08 was a good time, but I'll be in Hawaii again for this one :(

:D

Edit: found the pic, looks like only about 12' high, but it died down abit before I could grab the camera...
