WESTON BEND CENTRAL MIDWEST LABOR DAY MINI RALLY 3 - Event Date: 30 Aug 2013 - 02 Sep 2013

Ok Fellow 2013 Weston Bend Rpod Mini Rally attendees. There is a lot to see and do in Kansas City and the surrounding area. Here are a few things to consider if you get tired of just sitting around the park! Friday night we usually have dinner together, I will bring KC BBQ and baked beans. Feel free to add whatever you like. Last year most of us ended up spending evening meals and campfire time together, but that is not a requirement.
