There was a registration on the web page to provide them with an estimate for food, but not mandatory.  I registered and now can't go.  They are feeding everyone at the dealer that rides in the parade and brings a gift.

Yes, ends where the tent will be setup. On the courtesy dodge link that Doug posted there is a web form on the right you fill out then you will get an email confirming. I think this just gets you a shirt.  Otherwise, I think just bring a toy and show up.

Show up a the starting point with 400+ other jeeps in Jefferson, and ride the 47 miles down todonate your toy and get some food and hang.

They are challenging everyone to bring a toy per person.

They have a free Large t-shirt for every gift and more shirts for sale.

Yikes. I'm shooting for 8:30 and it will be what it will be...

The earlier you get there the more sitting around you will do. They start staging about 8-830 because they separate people into the year/model of your jeep. So the earlier you are there doesn't mean the closer to the front of the line you are.

I'll be hanging out at the dealership about 8:30. See y'all on the other side. Godspeed
