PS: We need your vote! Which unconventional tow vehicle would you like Andy Thomson, owner of Can-Am RV, to bring to Alumapalooza for the towing test drives? (Sign up at Alumapalooza 4 for a hands-on 15 minute demo using the tow vehicle of choice and a new Airstream…a chance for the curious and the unbelieving to actually drive one of his combinations and see how it feels.) The vehicle choices are 2011 Taurus SHO, 2011 Dodge Caravan 3.6, 2010 VW Jetta TDI. Click the link above to cast your vote!
It’s going to be a GREAT time at Alumapalooza this year! We’ve got the biggest and most packed program of events we’ve ever had!
Interesting to find out what’s going on? Just click here to download the Preliminary Event Program (pdf). You’ll find lots of shows, demos, seminars, contests, and opportunities to meet fellow Airstreamers.
This Preliminary Event Program is pretty close to the final schedule, but keep in mind that a few things may change before the event dates. You’ll get the final version when you arrive, in your Goody Bag (along with a lot of other nice stuff).
Alumapalooza 4 is filling up fast! If you’re thinking about going, check out this Event Program and register today! You won’t want to miss everything we’ve got planned.
We’ll have the Preliminary Event Program posted here very soon, but if you are coming to Alumapalooza you should know that we will be repeating the popular Dutch Oven cooking sessions! Matt Hackney will once again lead the two sessions. This year we’ll be making Monkey Bread, and Burritos.

1 package taco seasoning mix
Box Minute Rice (to make 3 cups)

Part of the fun at Alumapalooza is joining in some of the activities at the community events that happen the same weekend. The village of Jackson Center runs a great event called “Jackson Center Community Days,” which includes a lot of great stuff like church suppers, amusement rides, a parade, car show, and a couple of 1K and 5K runs.
If you’re interested in entering the Saturday morning “Tiger Trot”, you can pre-register now online. (Note that this is entirely separate from Alumapalooza registration.) Lots of people from Alumapalooza do these runs and they always report a great time.
