NACHI member Russell Spriggs will be driving the NACHI mower at the upcoming Big Back In www.bigbackin.com event on June 18, 2006 in Spirit Lake Idaho. Over 2,500 real estate agents, mortgage brokers and title companies will be in attendance. NACHI is an official sponsor of this event.
Question for you Russ? Are you being Eco - concern with your mower? Ie: Ethanol fuel… Good luck with the race and parade. Watch that you boat doesn’t colapse… </IMG></IMG>
Mark, the only alcohol-based fuel will be from the Biergarten.
Jason, I’ll post after the 18th - too bad it’s after the MI meeting!
BTW-
The “Big Back In” got it’s name from the fact that, for many years, motorcycles would make Spirit Lake a regular Pit Stop *(we really **DO *have saloons - see the pics on the site, www.bigbackin.com ) and “Back In” their bikes to the curb, oftentimes filling up the whole Main Drag of our one-blinker-light town.
A few years ago, (remember, I live out in the boonies, and this is what is done for entertainment), some locals thought they’d pull a joke on the bikers & pre-empt all the saloon-fronted parking spaces with “backed-in” lawnmowers! Thus was the Big Back-In born.
I have a red Murray mower, and don’t really have the facilities to give it a NACHI paint job, but I’ll be pulling a NACHI decked-out boat.
Nick is generously helping out with the banners, which will be used again and again in Spirit Lake and all throughout the Inland Northwest.
Now, if we could come up with some NACHI pennants, I could hang them from some upright fishing poles . . .
With a color printer & some Iron-on paper & some felt you could be all set. Just make sure that if ironing them on to anything other than white you use Iron-on paper for dark fabric.
Russ,
I am looking forward to doing a extensive testing of you alcohol to make sure it is what they are claiming it to be. Russ, if you have a color jet or bubble printer. OfficeMax etc has bumper sticker kits that you could print out any of the Nachi banner’s or logo’s to put on your murray. Looking forward to seeing you in MI.
Joe, you’re always welcome!
I’m sure we can fanagle a CE unit out of appropriate and safe ways to invasively examine 12 ounce pressurized containers . . .
MACHI member Cheryl Nordby is making banners for the event.
An invitation to 2,436 Realtors, Mortgage & Title folks, & past clients is going out this week. They will all be invited to tape their business cards and listings flyers all over the boat I’ll be towing with the NACHI mower in the 2.5 mile parade.
Most of the parade is around the lake, because Spirit Lake is only a blinker-light long!
Over 1,000 people attended the event in this blinker-light town.
Realtors, mortgage brokers and builders stopped by the NACHI booth to chat & promise business.
Pics will be posted in a couple of days - I mailed a CD full to NACHI HQ to post!
Russ. I knew I should have come out to be your co-pilot on this mower poker run. Besides, we would not want to send the wrong message to the people that Nachi approves of consuming… :roll: and driving. :twisted: Glad to hear that all went great, now you will have to spend time removing all off the business cards of the boat. Looking forward to seeing the pic’s. </IMG></IMG>
