This is a cut and paste of John Torpy's posting from Gordon's site.
Hello fellow Iowa rally fans. As some of you have heard, there was a possibility of no rally in 2008. Dave Butler and his staff would like to take a break to catch their breath and a well deserved rest.
Due to the overwhelming disappointment and shock of the crowd, Dave has given the encouragement and opportunity to put together a committee to host a rally in 2008. The dates will be June 11 to the 14.
The Jefferson county fair grounds have already been booked. We have also reserved the Best Western hotel for the Saturday night banquet. We have also all the rooms at the hotel for the rally days (they will only hold the rooms until two weeks before the rally so reserve early). Hold, in this case, means that they hold all the rooms in the hotel, in anticipation of the rally all the way up until two weeks before. You must reserve a room from this block of rooms, and you must tell them that it is for the Power Wagon Rally.
Also we have contacted the Super 8, the Economy Inn, and the Landmark Inn, and given them the dates, however they will not hold any rooms for reservations for the rally. You may, however, phone them directly and make reservations yourself.
We will keep you posted as events unfold, any comments and suggestions will be encouraged and welcomed.
Thanks for your support
