I've worked out the banquet details. Here they are folks!
Friday Dinner - July 28, 6:00 social, 7 p.m. dinner (tentative)
Served Buffet style in the Nevada Room, but with a BBQ theme. Sit back in the Nevada Room with a beer and get to know everybody that's just ridden from different parts of North America for the first national FJR event! Rallymasters, staff, and others will welcome everybody and detail the events of the weekend.

https://www.fjrtech.com/WFO-5/register.cfmThe Official WFO-5 Page
https://www.fjrtech.com/WFO-5/register.cfmand your online name. Remember that only people who have signed up at the WFO-5 page and paid their registration fee will be able to participate in the dinners. You'll get a special wrist band at check-in that will allow you get into the banquet area.
After July 23, it will be $93 for the package deal, $47 for Friday, or $52 for Saturday including those late folks. We won't be able to accept cash at the door because I have to get banquet counts into the Hilton two days before the dinners. Do not bank on paying at the door!!!!!
I'm in and around until Thursday, July 6 to field and answer questions on this thread, fix anything I forgot, read the entertaining remarks that I'm sure will ensue, and then be gone for a long weekend riding. I'll be back Monday, July 10.
See y'all in Reno.

**NOTE for PayPal Challenged People**
Those bound and determined to avoid PayPal may contact me via PM first to possibly make arrangements via check payable to Matt Watkins and snail mail. It would need to be a simple and smooth transaction and I still strongly encourage PayPal. If you are bent on this option, PLEASE do it sooner than the deadline.
Cancellation
If before Tuesday, 5 p.m., I might be able to accomodate partial refunds. After that period I will be in transit to Reno, must turn in counts to the hotel, and very likely will not be online. Then, you'd have to use your Jedi skills to make contact with me.
