Gift for the South Central Teardroppers Going to Minden

Hey folks, I asked, in an earlier thread, about who from South Central was going to Minden. The reason that I asked was because, even though I wont' be going, I wanted to do something for the team that "will" be able to go (I am excited about Minden as if I am going myself :lol: . Too bad it wont' be televised.)

Anyway, since the Cedar Hill gathering, I thought about making a gift (free) for those of you who are going to Minden. I had to wait until the semester was over before I could commit my time to the project.

The gift is a plaque of sorts shaped like a tear. It will help others know who you are. It has 2 hanging loops for threading wire or 2 nails for mounting, the name of our group and the flags and names of the states represented in our group. You could hang it on your door or near it so that if you are out and others come to see your tear, they will know who you are. There is also a 2.75" X 4" area (the door way) where a picture of the teardropper can be placed (I suggest laminating the picture in case of rain.) The picture can be affixed with double-sided tape. The plaque is 11" X 7.5".

Julie started a list in my earlier post, but others might have signed up since then. If you don't mind letting me know in this thread that you are going and you would like one of the plaques, that would be great ( for some, it may be your 2nd time responding...sorry) I have already PM'd a few people who live closer to me to see if they will take the gifts to Minden for me.

Here is a picture of the original. The only diff will be that they will be smoother, the background of "South Central" and all of the other words will be grayish silver instead of white (Salt shaker - not included). If I can keep from breaking off the trailer hitch ball, they all will have that feature too. The plaques aren't perfect, but they are from the heart for some great South Central folks... and honorary SC folks as well.
:applause:

{P.S. For those who, like myself, are not going to be able to make the Minden scene, l haven't forgotten you. The plaque will be available to you and anyone else that wants one for a small cost after I've completed the ones for the Minden group. This isn't a get-rich-quick scheme either. But you can understand that as the requests increase, so do the cost for materials and time to make them. I'll start another thread for those non-Minden request later so that things don't get mixed up.

Todah, that is so sweet of you. The fact that you are making them will mean so much. I can't wait to get mine! I will sure miss seeing you at Minden, I enjoyed you so much at Beavers Bend. We had planned to leave yesterday but Gene got sick and we are having to wait a few days. If everything goes right we will leave on Friday morning and go to Idaho to pick up our new TD, then head for Minden. Jon will be taking his TD and going also. I would be glad to send you some money to help on expenses, just tell me.

We will miss you!
Grani B.

Okay, here's the list for the gifts. It combines the names from my previous inquiry about those going to Minden and Julie's inquiry as well. I hope that this catches everyone who wanted a plaque.

You will have to provide your own wire/chain/ribbon to hang from the loops. I have some small "s"- hooks that can be used if you use a chain (I'll put those in the box with the plaques.)


If you are going and want a plaque and your name is not on the list, please say so before 5:00PM (Central Time) today, otherwise there will not be one for you in Minden.
