Do we know anyone from CA or AZ that is going to this show?  I need some help getting parts back to the west coast.

Anyone seen the news about flooding in Kansas City?  Any word if this will have any impact on the show this weekend?

Considering that Kansas is flatter than a pancake (http://www.improbable.com/airchives/paperair/volume9/v9i3/kansas.html), the entire state must be underwater! 

Here's a post of recently flooded roads in Overland Park (http://fox4kc.com/2017/08/22/full-list-of-roads-closed-in-kcmo-due-to-flooding/), but a floodplain map indicates most flooding is likely constrained to rivers and stream areas (https://map.opkansas.org/map-viewer/#theme=Floodplain%20Info).  The Grand National is at the Convention Center, just south of I435, and appears to be out of the flood zone.  Access to the area may be problematic, though.

Yes, the flooding is not near the convention center.
It's the same localized areas that flood a couple times a year.
City is back to 99.9% open today.

Sensationalized news. Eclipse over, needed something to talk about.

Midlife, bring a bicycle to Kansas sometime.
After I take you on a 30 mile ride, tell me if you still think it's flat!!! 



Official communication:
I’m sure many of you have seen the national news report on the flooding here in Kansas City.  Well, no worries, we are high and dry at the show site, trailer parking, and all hotels in Overland Park, KS!  The weather forecast for the upcoming weekend at the MCA Grand National looks AMAZING!!!  Daytime highs will be in the low 80’s with minimal, 10% chance of rain on Saturday, and just slightly higher on Sunday.

And, don’t forget to RSVP to nonahernandezshowregistrar@gmail.com to get a seat on the coach Saturday night to downtown Kansas City for $20.00 per person.  Get your tickets when you pick up your registration packet at the show.

See you this weekend!!!
