Check out Area 57 which is where the Ozarks Run will be held this year.  It sits between the Ramada and Dick Clark Theater and all festivities for the show will take place there.  No more walking up and down the hills to view trucks because they'll all be together!  We'll have specific parking for registered vehicles too so you won't have to worry about finding a place to park!  If you have a 10x10 or 12x12 tent, please feel free to bring it because we'll have plenty of room for you to set up and get out of the sun.  We'll also have concessions on the property, Friday night live music on stage, Saturday DJ and Saturday night we'll have a drive-in for your enjoyment!

Look around the Area 57 link to get an idea of what's going on with the property......check out the "Photos" section because the pictures there are of OUR show!

Check back later for updates and more information as I get it!  We've a lot in store for 2008, so come join us in the fun!

Registration Fee - $25
If you register between March 1st and April 15th (you can download the registration form and mail it in with your check), you will receive a free t-shirt of your choice (must be present to collect your t-shirt)!  So, you're actually saving $15.  How's that for a bargain?  You'll get a coupon when you come to the registration desk to pick up your goody bag and you can go pick out your t-shirt from there.  The cost for registration is $25, so if you want a free t-shirt, send in your check early and save yourself a few dollars!  We also welcome those who want to register but have no vehicle.  You can still register, get a goody bag and dash plaque, and a chance at door prizes.  If you register by April 15th (must recieve your registration by the 15th), you can add a free t-shirt in with that price!  What a great deal!
Didn't make the free t-shirt deadline?  That's ok, send us your registration anyway, 'cuz we put a little "extra" in the goody bags of those who register before the show!  We do this because it allows us to have your information already typed up on our registration sheet so you can check in quicker!  Besides, you just might get a really cool surprise!

Sponsored Trophies
Beside the trophy I'll list the names of those sponsoring each one so you can get an idea of what trophies are still available.

If you'd like to sponsor one specific trophy, please let me know which one (or more) you'd like to sponsor as soon as possible (March to June 1st).  We need this information in before June 1st so we can have your name or company name engraved on the name plates.  So check this list often to see what trophies are left.  I'll update this page as soon as I get notice of changes.  Payment needed before June 1st also.  Thanks!

Would you like to donate to the ladies raffle for 2008?  If you would, then give me a call and let me know what you'd like to donate.  We'll have a mixed bag again this year because the ladies enjoy it so much!  It's SUMMER, so think HOT!

Ladies Gifts
We enjoy giving credit to the ladies who have stood by their man when it comes to their trucks and for that we want to welcome and thank them!  We have a small gift for each lady who is listed on the registration form.  Charlotte Kinsenger had been donating ladies gifts for years and because of her donations we are continuing this tradition.  Thanks Charlotte!  We will continue your great idea!  If you've got a small ladies gift you'd like to donate, just drop me an email or give me a call!

Ozarks Run T-Shirts

Our childrens colors went great last year, so we'll have them again....banana, lime, tangerine, and I'll be ordering a few more this year so we won't run out!

Guestbook

I started the truck club guestbook in 2005, and we've continued adding to it each year.  Don't forget to sign it while you're at the show!

NOTE:  If you've got some good pictures you'd like to add to the upcoming years guestbooks bring them along, or mail them to me if you choose (you can also send them to me via the internet, but please do NOT downsize them, I need them in their original form).  If you send me a self addressed stamped envelope I will send them back to you after they're scanned and copied.  I may not use them all, but I'll save them for guestbooks to come.  I hope you like this idea 'cuz I've had fun working on it!

Food Vendors

The Dick Clark American Bandstand Theater is building a concession stand for the property.  Here's the info I got from Larry and Ken about their menu!  We are offering Rib Tips, Mini Burgers, Hot Dogs in Pretzel Buns, Pulled Pork sandwiches, ZAPPS chips and of course pretzels, nachos, candy bars and sodas for all that attend event at AREA 57…..and don’t forget we will also have cold beer!

Saturday Dj

Did you enjoy the DJ?!  Bud Perry from Bud's Tires & Wheels here in Springfield brought his trailer and set up in the grass and he'll be back again in 2008 only he'll have a bigger area to work with!  Bud also helped us with the awards, so we're looking forward to another great year!

Flyers & Registration Forms
If you've been to either of the last 2 runs and have registered your vehicle (or paid for registration w/out a vehicle), you will automatically recieve our flyer and registration forms the following year.  If you haven't been to a run for the last 2 years or would like to be put on our mailing list, drop me an email with your full name and mailing address (please include phone number) or give me a call and I'll be happy to drop one in the mail for you.  Flyers and registrations are sent out around March 1st.

Motel Reservations
If you didn't pre-register at the 2007 Run or weren't able to make it to the show, but would like to keep the same room you had, or would like to plan on reserving a room for 2008, please give the motel a call right away (800) 641-4106.  You can cancel up to 24 hours before hand and not be charged for your room, so take advantage of the availability right now and get your room reserved.

Please make sure you mention that you're coming to the "Show-Me F100's Ozarks Run" so you'll get your special rate.  The motel won't have information about the show for you, the number above is for "reservations ONLY".  Our room rate for 2008 is $47.95.  Along with your room you'll recieve a coupon for a "hot breakfast" for every day you're there!  It's NOT just a Continental breakfast either, but a full breakfast buffet!

If you're not sure about the room number you had, give them a call and get it corrected right away so you will be added to their computer correctly.  Make sure you have the correct DATE of arrival and departure too.  They can only do so much, ok?!  Thanks!

    POP TABS    
For those of you who bring pop tabs every year, we're still collecting them,
so bag 'em up and bring 'em with you!  Many find that putting them in a rinsed out water or milk jug works very good in transporting (I'm using a liquid soap bottle myself - minus the spout of course!).  You've got all year to save them, so get an early start!

It takes a lot of pop tabs to bring in a decent donation, so get your friends and family involved and have them save their pop tabs (soup tabs, or anything that's alluminum) and bring them when you come down.

Bringing pop tabs is an awesome way to show loyalty to a truck club and you have shown it through the years with flying colors!  Thank You SO Much for helping us!

A Few of Our Vendors
If you're interested in being a vendor at the Ozarks Run, just drop me an email or give me a call and I'll let you know what space we have available (looking for craft vendors too).  You will need a temporary license for the city of Branson and I can send you the application for this.  With Area 57 now open for our show, each vendor will have their own spot with electric (if needed)!  Call for details.You must have a temporary license and be on our roster to vendor at the show, they must be recieved by me before June 1st, including your fee (the sooner the better). Sorry, but all others will be asked to leave.  It's not my rule, but Branson's.

NOTE:  It's never too early to get your name in for the following year, so don't wait to long - with a change in the property, our vendor area has expanded so we look forward to more vendors!  Get your name in now!  You can also send me your business card and I'll give you a call.  Thanks!
Our vendors are asked to donate a door prize or discount on an item.
