    Hello!


    I'm very new to the GIRS community and am very interested in attending spring fest. However, I don't have a means of getting to Des Moines for frag fest. I was wondering if anyone from Ames is attending Frag Fest and would be willing to give me a ride. I'd be more than happy to pay for gas too!

    /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/sad.gif I'm guessing that this is a no. LOL

    Give it a little time. I know that we have several members in the Ames area that are probably coming down for Spring Fest. I'm in West Des Moines - so that's no help.....


    I'm sure if you are flexible that you will likely be able to get a ride - even if it is down with one person and back with someone else. Hope you can get a ride. Its a great event.

    Thanks for responding! I'm hoping that I get the chance to attend spring fest. It seems fantastic.


    I was getting worried as I wasn't actually sure whether I had posted this in the right forum or not.

    Hey xiaoxiy welcome to GIRS! So sorry we won't be able to help you out this time! Normally we do go to these events (and we're from Ames) so let us know in the future. This time we've already committed to volunteering at a church event. Don't hesitate to let us know in the future though for sure! /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif

    I am sure we can get you a ride. Let me work on it, if nothing else I can come get you. But you would be there way early and staying late.

    Jeeze, that would be such a long drive for ya... Hopefully I'll find someone from Ames who is heading up to Spring Fest, but if I don't, I'll definitely let you know.


    Also, I'd only need a ride up, as a few friends are planning to meet up with me in Des Moines after Spring Fest.

    oh I'm sure we will, it's one of our largest events of the year (hence the lots of help needed! lol) had I not already committed before I knew the dates though. I was awfully conflicted on which to chose! lol.

    There might be a few events here and there in Ames but it usually gets pretty spread out. I did say my tanks were open for a tank tour should they want to come this way, so we'll see if the tank tour makes it up this far. If not, maybe another event soon. But typically hosting an event helps lend to the location... /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/wink.gif

    Actually it would probably be good if you posted it on the Public forums also - the General forum and the Frag Fest forum. There are people in other parts of the state that may not subscribe to the Des Moines forum - but that may pass thru Ames to come to Spring Fest.
