Now that we're in January, I'm in a foot race like no other. The next few months will be a hectic dash to get everything put together and executed successfully, so my year won't be a total waste of time.
First, there's the American Cancer Society fundraiser. We kick off activities in two weeks and I'm sooooo not ready for that.
Then, there's the model boat clubs races and the Vettes and Vipers car show in February. That's after we head out to the Glamis dunes in California for the Jagged X off road event.
We have the Lincoln Day Dinner in Feb as well, with Sherriff Joe Arpaio speaking to the crowd. This will be a huge event because it's an election year and people flock to Sherriff Joe like he's a rock star.
In March we are dedicating our time to preparation for the big truck show, which is scheduled for the first weekend in April. Then, two weeks later we have the Havasu Havoc Truck Show, sponsored by Truckin' Magazine. That one's a nightmare because it's all twenty-something year olds with very expensive vehicles.
The week after that is the Desert Storm Poker Run, with huge expensive offshore boats who come to our lake just to show off and be on t.v. We only run a small portion of that event, which is fortunate.
The week after that we begin our Regatta season, which means there's an event on the water every weekend for two months--then two months off--then two more months of solid events. YIKES.
In the next month I have so much preparation and planning, I might lose my mind.
Oh well, it's better than working a real job.
