I wanted to thank you for the opening your home for the races. My boyfriend/fiance Dale Riley came with me for the 1st time two years ago. He passed away Feb. 18 of a sudden heart attack. I knew Dale for over 10 years and when I say this it is not lightly. The moment he drove onto the ranch he was at home he loved it the races, horses and the people. As soon as we came home he started planning for the next year. He didn't own a horse but he was a Cowboy in the true since. They made a slide show of all the pictures he took and his family saw a side of him through the pictures he took at the ranch. I miss him awful but I'll be back again this year because I know it would be what he wants and my time at your ranch is like being with family. So again I can't thank you enough for all your family does to bring everyone together. Susan Eichler To The Eoff Family,

I apologize for taking up any of ur time with my concerns. I was just curious as to why the rookies that are trying to qualify for the nationals at ur race in Clinton are having to pay the same admission as spectators when they are also having to haul to four out of five other races. I thought we wanted to premote chuckwagon racing not scare people off. Witch brings up my other concern by buying a membership threw y'all will take away from other memberships associations, which I thought we wanted to get more folks into. Thanks for ur time.

This was the first year I have ever gone down and played in the river on the horses. It was 7 of us down there and a lady got mad and was real rude to us for being down there and swimming our horses. I am probably the oldest out of the bunch and am 27 and she was treating us like kids saying she was going to go get Dan, that we were NOT allowed to swim our horses down in the river and we needed to leave. I checked in the book, it didn't say anything about it and stopped up at the check in and asked and they said they had never heard of anyone not being allowed to ride or swim in the creek. I just wanted to be clear on what we could and couldn't do on your ranch. I don't want to cause any trouble and want to show ya'll and everyone else on the ranch respect, but I just thought she could have approached us in a lot better manner than what she did. I guess what I am needing is to have your approval, have this ever happen again, or just the knowledge that you would rather us not ride or swim in the creek. Oh, I have one more question for Dan.

Wow, I honestly think this is the best DVD yet by far! They did an amazing job on it this year! I also am sending Clif Andrus a cd copy of all the pictures I took from this past year. I posted some on the website, but I took over 1300 pictures so it's hard to upload them all on here. If you would like to for me to, I can send you a cd as well. I think the main ones I haven't uploaded yet are the ones of the classic races. But I hope all is well, I look forward to seeing everyone next year! Amanda Dan & Peggy,

He was the driver for John 3:16. He traveled to Clinton every year to race Classics and was recognized for his 10th year in 2008. Chuckwagon races were a lifelong passion of Ron's. He went to be with the Lord while he was working on his wagon. He will be missed. Ron Edens from Caney, Kansas passed away unexpectedly on June 16, 2009. He was the driver for John 3:16.

I really enjoyed my very first National Chuckwagon Race in 2008. I had a blast and plan on attending every race possible in the future. (By the way this will be my husband Calvin’s 3rd time attending, made him bring me instead of his friends last year.) I loved spending time with my horses and my husband, and having the fellowship that is there! We look so forward to the race all year long, and plan on spending the whole week this year. The main reason for this entry is that last year on Friday in the middle of the night, someone rode into our camp and stole my husband's boots with the spurs attached! We looked all Saturday for the boots, found one in the ditch about 500 yards from our camp with no spur. The boots could be replaced, but my husband had those spurs given to him by his older brother when he was 13.... (By the way we even had our lights on around our camper and trailer when they were stolen!)We just wanted everyone to keep your special items locked up, in the event that someone else might find them more special than you. This year come by and see us if you can, we will be on top of the hill, by the pond, at the Stolen Spur Camp. Lol……. Can't wait till Labor Day week! Hello, Peggy and Dan.

Mon, 23 Feb 2009 01:37:46 +0000 http://chuckwagonraces.com/blog/?p=4#comment-286 In 2007 there were portable showers available for a price. They started at $5.00, but not many people used them. When they lowered it to $3.00, they had more customers. Last year (2008), they weren't there at all, and were really missed. I heard several people talking about them at the 2 warm showers in Southfork. Will those showers be back in 2009? Given these tough economic times, If they were there, I would suggest a 'package deal' as in 2 showers for $5.00 or $3.00 each. I think that sounds fair. I would like to pass on that the folk who ran them, they cleaned them after every person, and did a GREAT job!! Nothing at all like the cold showers or the ones in Southfork. They kept them clean. Thanks and see you in August! In 2007 there were portable showers available for a price. They started at $5.00, but not many people used them. When they lowered it to $3.00, they had more customers.

Especially if you have a family that you bring with you. I think in light of the economic crisis, it would be a very wonderful and welcomed jesture if yall were to lower the camping prices this year instead of raising them, or even give discounts to campers and not just the racers. My family and I usually come for the whole week but this year we may not come at all b/c of the prices. I know more ppl would come if yall did lower your prices a bit. Just a thought........
