        We had a nice time and did see some of our friends we made over the years of going there.
        As side from that, the rally had a very poor showing Only 24 vendors compared to 3 times that many years ago.
        I hope the Davis family regroups and gets it back on track or it will be done..

          Any idea as to what went wrong???? I heard the old man died and the kids took over. This is on my list of things to do.....Being so close to
          Labor Day, I always have schedule problems. Seems a lot of rallys are going under due to lack of attendance.

            That was the word around the rally last year. This year was really bad, only 24 vendors. This was due to the raise in vendor fees which was tripled last year. I hope the family gets the hint and gets the rally back the way it was.

              We stopped in for a couple of hours, on Saturday. Talked to our trike installer, looked around, and left. Didn't have much time for anything else.

                My GF and I attended for the second year in a row and enjoyed it as I like to camp on the grounds. I'll make it again next year on my way to the Rocky ride in Montrose.
                Recently moved to TN my native state, Feels good to be back home.

                  I did talk to Mr. Davis a few weeks ago and he guaranteed me it would be bigger and better next year.
                  This year was our 25 year in a row there and I hate to miss it as it always is a great time.

                    Bigger and better next year.......I think we have heard that line before. Next year Davis will compete with the new Wing Ding date.

                      I don't think that will make a difference. Not that many GWRRA members at Davis

                        I was thinking the vendors would most likely choose Wing Ding over Davis.....

                          Most of the vendors at Davis are small ones or ones from around the area states.. Motor Trike and F4 are about the only big ones.
