Bussin' 2011 will be our last Bussin' rally. After 11 years of doing this rally we are ready for a break. This decision was only made after much discussion between Paula and I and many close friends. If someone is interested in taking it over, please let me know. We will help you with contact information for our sources and paperwork required, etc. Although it is not copyrighted, we do ask that if someone decides to use these dates for a new rally, that they do not use Bussin in the name of their rally. This will allow their rally to build using its own indenity. In the first ten years we had approx 1400 coaches attend our rallies. There are only a few left that attended all 10 previous rallies. I won't mention the names for fear of forgetting some of them. We have many great memories from these rallies. We are a little sad about not continuing, but we both feel we need a break from hosting rallies. In addition to the Bussin' Rallies, we also hosted and co-hosted rallies for the SE Busnuts and SE Cruisers. A special thanks to all that volunteered through the years and continue to volunteer this year. Without you. these rallies would not have happened. We still plan to attend rallies and travel in our coach, just not get involved in organizing the rallies. Jack & Paula Thanks to everyone for all the memories | ||

This will be a great loss. We have always had a great time and always felt welcome. I dont know how you found the time or energy to have done it this long! How is has grown from standing around fire pit at the horse ring to the Horizon facility, and now the large monster gathering at the Turner center. You and your helpers have done so much. I have learned and been inspired so much. Thanks again. (PS we have some good kayacking on the Susquhanna river Towonda Pa if you ever pass thru.Dave and Dori | ||

EVERYONE - If you've never been to one of these rallies, THIS IS THE YEAR TO GO!! From a small gathering to over 160 coaches, this is the PREMIER busnut event on the east coast, and, to some degree, MUCH better than Quartzsite. Jack, Paula and his group of volunteers put on a fantastic weekend to ring in the New Year, including such things as seminars, a flea market, GREAT food, wonderful fellowship, lots of time for swapping bus war stories, many attendees opening their coaches for "newbie" tours, hysterical musical entertainment, and just plain FUN! Let's make this the BEST rally yet! Make your plans NOW to attend Bussin' 2011 in Arcadia, FL in order to support Jack & Paula's efforts for the wonderful events they've worked so tirelessly to put on for us fellow busnuts! I've got my airline tickets, car rental & hotel reservations already (don't have time to drive from CA), so the rest of you need to get started! DON'T MISS BUSSIN' 2011 - you'll kick yourself forever if you do! FWIW & HTH. . . RJ Long PD4106-2784 No More Fresno CA |
