EVTV MOTOR VERKS

 

It is expected that most attendees will arrive sometime Wednesday, September 26, 2012.  We will host a welcoming reception at the EVTV Motor Verks site at 5:00 PM – kind of a meet and greet with appetizers and drinks with a shop tour.  However, if you arrive earlier in the day and want to stop by, feel free to do so after 10:00 AM.

 


 

 

JACK RICKARD’S HOUSE

 

On Thursday Evening, September 27nd, after the day’s sessions at the airport, we will host a barbecue/beer/bonfire at Jack Rickard’s house overlooking the Mississippi River adjacent to the majestically lit new Bill Emerson Bridge spanning the Mississippi River.  There is also a beautiful small park adjoining and we invite everyone with an electric car to bring it down and park it in the park for display.  Jerry Ford’s Band wil provide music.  This will be a really fun gathering you will not want to miss.
