I'm getting some good response back around this event. So far 6 Vipers confirmed, Dan Lessner from VSP may come down and join us in Mayville in the afternoon.

Few from Ohio are making the trip too!

I even extended an invitation to Ralph and Doris. Doris is a "no" since she is going to some "Oprah" event... but she was going to see if Ralph wanted to come.

Run for the Border 2014 Participants:

Below is the schedule for the Viper Owners Association event this Saturday September 13th. I made a slight adjustment to the stops with a change in one of the venues. I deleted "The Brewerie" stop due to they have a wedding booked for that day and inserted Lavery Brewing in Erie. We have 11 Vipers confirmed for the day!

If you have a 2-way radio, bring it! We will be tuned to channel #3-0
Wine/Beer/Spirits taste testing is optional all locations. Most of the locations range from $3-$6
All times are followed by "ish"
Please know when to say when and if at any point you need to skip out, that is just fine
I included a fuel stop at an ethanol free gas station in Erie at 1:30p
