Hey Everyone,
I am willing to help out any way that I can. I am going to MOGA and will be out for that week. Otherwise I can help any way that is needed.
Thank you,
Jam3s

I am willing to help in anyway that I can. I know that KB has had an event at Cleary Lake Park in Prior Lake but has MnGCA?
They have a good number of camp sites and plenty of area for temps.
It is a Three River Park |

if you want me to work on the event page again, that would be fine--just be sure to send me some content so it's not barren! |

I can help out with the planing. I have some ideas for time and locations. April and May are hard for me to help because I am an organizer for (insert plug) Minnesota Scottish Fair & Highland Games .
