Please read thoroughly.
ARRIVAL: OCTOBER 17th – 10:30 A.M.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO GET GAS BEFORE ARRIVING!
1. Please arrive NO LATER than 10:30 a.m. We will depart between 11:00 and 11:15 a.m.
2. When turning onto 60th Ave. E. remain on the right lane and stay on it until 29th St. E. Do not enter the mall thru the 60th Ave. entrance. Traffic is awful. Come in thru the 29th St.. E. entrance of the mall ONLY.
3. All cars should back into a parking space, therefore making it easier to pull out when we leave.
4. We will leave by sections in a single lane format.
5. Our awesome bikers will clear the way for us to continually move onto the highway, followed by the pace car – yours truly. They will make it accessible for us to keep moving. PLEASE DO NOT STOP! Continue moving until the last car goes through.
BE RESPECTFUL OF ALL DRIVERS, PLEASE!
I-75 SOUTH – This information is per FHP’s recommendations, so we will adhere to them!
1. We will enter the highway @ exit 224 off of US 301.
2. It is imperative that we remain as a train. ONE LANE, which will be the CENTER lane. Motorcycles up front – followed by the pace car. Our speed will be approximately 50 mph. Please remember why we’re doing this. It is not a race. Let’s enjoy ourselves and bask in the fact that TOGETHER, we have accomplished something HUGE!
3. While our train should stay tight, but please remember to make room for any cars wishing to change lanes. We should be following the same driving rules we normally would.
4. It may be possible that we encounter belligerent people. PLEASE do not instigate or challenge these folks. WE ARE BETTER THAN THAT! WE ARE TRUMPERS! FEEL FREE TO WAVE, HONK AND MAKE SOME NOISE! BUT PLAY NICE!
5. We will exit at 179 (Toledo Blade), head west to US 41, then south to the fairgrounds.
6. While on Toledo Blade, we’ll remain on the left lane. Again, motorcycles will lead the path, followed by the pace car.
7. At the fairgrounds, there will be 4 traffic control attendants assisting with parking. PARKING IS FREE and there will be plenty of it. There will also be 2 hired CCSOs, if needed. #BackTheBlue Thank them for their service.
THE GRAND FINALE RALLY – PARTY TIME!!!
The rally will be held outdoors at the Fairgrounds Rodeo Arena. It will be PACKED! They’re expecting close to a thousand people, including us! Take masks if you desire, no judging from anyone!
After parking, there will be check-in tables. They are asking for a $10 donation per person to help offset some of the RNC’s expenses for this huge event. If you decide to donate, you will be given a wristband that includes lunch (a hot dog or hamburger or Italian sausage, a drink and a bag of chips) provided by “Mad Dog – Hot Dog Man.” Children 10 and under will receive lunch for free. If you decide you do not want their lunch, you may take your own, but they will still gladly appreciate a donation.
*COOLERS AND ALCOHOL ARE NOT PERMITTED ON PREMISES due to insurance and security purposes.
There will also be additional vendors selling Trump t-shirts, hats and other goodies, along with live music and featured speakers!
The arena will have grandstand seating, in addition to tables and chairs. Again, lots of people, so you may want to bring your own lawn chairs.
IT’S GOING TO BE A FULL, FUN-PACKED DAY ON THE TRUMP TRAIN! LET’S HAVE AN AWESOME TIME! LET’S MAKE SOME NOISE, AND LET’S SHOW THEM THAT WE ARE NO LONGER THE SILENT MAJORITY!
