This sounds like something I can't miss. But those are a lot of days to get off. I don't want to fully commit to going til I've had a chance to talk to some people about getting all those days off. So for now please put me down as a maybe.

Just wanted to pop in and give ya'll some more information about the event.

A couple of important monetary highlights:
1. You are responsible for your lunch the day of the event. However, we will pay for your dinner the night of the event.
2. The event itself is only $10 but there are seperate fees for the park ($35 daily fee) that are not associated with TFT. I didn't want anyone to be surprised and think that I mis-lead anyone.

BELOW IS THE FULL WRITE-UP ON THE EVENT

Event Info:
4th Annual Topless for TATA’s Wheeling Event

Event Date:
August 4, 2012

Event Location:
Rausch Creek Offroad Park

Block of Rooms Reserved:
Comfort Inn, Pine Grove, PA under “TATA run.” Direct number to the Comfort Inn is 570-345-8031.

What Has Changed This Year?
• Comfort Inn, Pine Grove PA will be the hotel of choice for accommodations. We have already setup a block of rooms listed under the booking of “TATA Run” at a rate of $62.50 per night. Please call and reference “TATA Run” to ensure your stay at the Comfort Inn, Pine Grove. Their direct number is 570-345-8031. For those bringing children please remember that the Comfort Inn has an indoor pool. The hotel is also pet friendly. All rooms are equipped with a microwave and refrigerator. The Hampton Inn is no longer the host hotel.
• Registration will be done electronically this year. Please click here to register or visit the website. This year’s event will be limited to 225 vehicles. After 225 we will start a waiting list.
• We are working towards having lunch services available on site at Rausch Creek the day of the event

What Has Not Changed This Year?
• The Topless for TATA’s Wheeling events primary goal is to raise funds and awareness for Breast Cancer Research.
• Trail guides, at their discretion, reserve the right to make changes to the groups and group line up.
• The proceeds raised at the event will be donated to Breast Cancer Research Foundation. BCRF’s mission is to achieve prevention and a cure for breast cancer in our lifetime by providing critical funding for innovative clinical and translational research at leading medical centers worldwide, and increasing public awareness about good breast health. Currently, over 90 cents of every dollar donated goes to research and awareness programs.
• You are responsible for providing your own lunch, snacks and beverages.
• All sponsoring vendors are invited to attend our event.
• Registration/Check-in will be at 8am on Saturday, August 4th, 2012 and we hope to hit the trails no later than 9:30am. Advance check-in will be offered Friday, August 3rd, 2012 evening at the Comfort Inn, Pine Grove, PA.
• Although not mandatory, it is still suggested for you to have a CB along with recovery gear. At a minimum we are requesting that all vehicles have some type of recovery point in the front and rear.
• We cannot stress enough the importance of listening to your spotter and or trail guide.
• The Raffle will be held at Rausch Creek in the Pavillon. The Raffle will be held at a predetermined time immediately following the trail ride. You must be present to take part in the raffle. Only event participants will be eligible to take part in our raffle.
• The Topless for TATA’s after party will immediately follow the raffle. There is no additional cost to attend the after party. All participates are welcome to attend. We plan to offer Pizza, Chips and Soda/Water. Location TBD.
• 4th Annual Topless for TATA’s event swag (t-shirts, hoodies, etc.) will be available for purchase the morning of the event. Our suggestion is to pre purchase your swag to ensure you get the size and quantity desired. Event swag will also be available through the Topless for TATAs website.
• This will be an All Breeds event. That being said if your vehicle has the ability to run Topless it is highly encouraged. This year we will be again imposing a $10 fee per vehicle that will go directly towards the cost of hosting this event.
• Please be aware that Rausch Creek land use and passenger fees have remained the same for 2012.
• The Topless for TATAs crew will once again be at several Jeep events, MOAB EJS, PA Jeeps, and ADAMS Jeep Jam to name a few, throughout 2012 promoting our even

What Help Is Needed This Year?
Last year our event was a huge success due in part to the overwhelming response we received for our request for volunteers. For the 4th Annual Topless for TATA’s event we will again be calling on volunteers to help with registration, trail guides/gunners and the after party. If you would like to volunteer to be a trail guide or tail gunner, please let us know. Again, our event would not be where it is today without the help of volunteers!

How Do You Register This Year?
All registration will be electronic this year. You can click here to register or go to the website and click on Register. Make sure you frequently visit the Topless for TATAs website, forums, or our Facebook page (The Official Topless for TATAs Wheeling Event) for up to date information as it becomes available.

This Year’s Event Agenda
An Event Agenda will be forthcoming as the event draws closer.

UPDATE!!! We have had an overwhelming response all within the last couple of days and have over 100 spots sold for this year’s Topless for TATAs Wheeling Event! While that is wonderful and exciting for the participants that have already registered, I am concerned that some of you might not get the opportunity to join us this year. With less than 125 spots left, some of you might find yourself on the waiting list if registration continues to fill up at this rate. This is just a friendly reminder as I know most of us have had an extremely busy week with Christmas and New Years.

Thanks for the update Chantelle!

All, PLEASE register ASAP for Topless for Tata’s if you even THINK you want to join us. It is only a $10 registration and we want to make sure that everyone that makes this epic journey can attend all events.

ALSO: I just called and reserved my room for Aug. 3rd and 4th, checking out on the 5th. When reserving rooms we may want to get a 2-bed room just incase they run out of rooms we could bunk-up for a couple days. PLEASE also call to reserve your room when you register for the event.

I would like to get everyone together that is going (so far) probably next weekend to start planning this trip. This is a big trip for everyone and I want to make sure we are all on the same page for the best experience for everyone.

The ONE REQUIREMENT (and only one) I am going to place on this trip is that EVERYONE has PROJECT-JK windshield banners AND So-Cal cowl decals. This is a Forum run and we need to represent. Remember we are going to be in a JEEP PARADE and we want to be unified!!!

ill be doing rausch creek on jan 21 2012 so ill put picks up for you guys for somethings you might be hitting up. here is their web site


www.rauschcreekoffroadpark.org/mem.php

it is a 35 dollar fee per day and 15 to sign up for their one year membership. also each passenger in the vehicle has to pay $7 and sign a wavier of release as well.

if you guys rather camp out in the rausch creek area (2 hours away) my parents live there and most likely will let you guys chill their and drop tops and doors. its a very nice quite area. ill talk to them if anyone is intrested and they have their own bar in the basement with pool table, pool and all..

just a though also get in touch with the NJ group or the PA group there is a nice off road trail with tons of water/mud crossing in NJ not to far from the TATA's place and i think it would be worth hitting up as well ill be doing that the 28th of jan and ill share more details about it as i cant find that post lol
