The turnout was larger than in the past two years, there were a lot of new faces this year.

The Funcross was a great success everyone had a blast over double the entries than last year, everyone was looking forward to the drag racing till it got rained out. Danny is looking for another location closer to Branson for next year and possibly (just a thought) doing the Funcross on Thursday and running all day.

The rain on Saturday for the Car show meant a lot of changes had to be made pretty much last minute because the original plan was to have the cars on the grass areas, with that much rain the grass was still pretty wet and while it was still pretty packed it was still very slick, so the venue offered the parking lots and road leading to the parking lot for the cars. We had a couple of issues getting the cars loaded because the road was narrow but it worked out.

The new show location is better, not in a bowl, lots of grass around, a large pavilion with fans going, several restrooms accessible in the club house with a small cafe/dining area with pretty decent menu to order from with very reasonable prices.

The new hotel was great,very clean rooms, provided water hoses to wash cars with, had a great sitting area in the center, everything easy to get to and very accommodating staff. Breakfast was normal hotel "free" breakfast fare- biscuits,gravy, eggs, sausage, waffles, toast, ect, but so much better than the Rowdy Beaver.

Overall from everyone I talked to, everyone had a great time, thought it was one of the better ZFest in years.
