To one of the best rallies I've been to... not sure who to thank here but let me begin with Larry Poole and Co. Homer Fouquier and Co. and David Trombetta and Co.

Man, oh man, did ya'll do a really wonderful job. Naturally the Panther Creekers are into the bike games but all the other parts of the rally were great as well.

This is Crazy Ed and to tell ya the truth, I began chasing the Cut 'N Shoot chapter in the field events waaaaaay back in '93, 94, 95, 96 at various rallies and they have been my inspiration ever since. Sheila doesn't know it but I've been beat by her a few times or so and Herb, you need to let that gal head up a bike game group and you guys'll be beating us in no time. .....maybe!! Anyways, we consider Cut 'N Shoot to be a sister chapter to Panther Creek and always look forward to seeing ya'll every where we go.

Again Shreveport, ya'll were absolutely fantastic. Everyone I talked to had nuttin but good things to
say. We at Panther Creek are definitely looking forward to seeing all ya'll at the Texas State Rally here in a few weeks.

Hey bros and sisters, keep the shiny side up, keep the dirty side down and for me I just try to keep her betwixt the fences!!!!

Homer,

Congratulations on an excellent State Rally. This makes the fourth LA Rally I have attended and this one by far was the most organized! You and your team did an excellent job. All the Cut-N-Shooters in attendance had a great time and will be looking forward to coming back to Shreveport again. The Rally facility was excellent. And the Parade -- awesome!!!

I have heard from Valerie and others that Cut-N-Shoot won the Chapter Challenge competition. If only we could learn to do bike games as well as Panther Creek -- always room for improvement. Anyway, can you let me know how many Shooters were signed up and when the check will be mailed. If possible, I would like to present the check at our next Chapter Meeting which is on April 12th. If you would like to attend and present it to our membership in person this would be great.

Thanks again for hosting a Great Rally!

Director, Cut-N-Shoot HOG

Larry, I want to extend our thanks for the H.O.G. Rally registration being well organized and easy to use. People were friendly and had the right amount of knowledge to give us when we arrived. We hope Shreveport hosts the rally again next year.

Thx again ... Jerry & Susie Hill

I thought I would send you a picture of the expressions seen on most of the HOG Members and Guests leaving the Louisiana State HOG Rally this past weekend!       

I hope that you got a chance to experience the GREATEST HOG RALLY in the history of LOUISIANA. If not, you're gonna get another chance next year, when the LA STATE HOG Rally returns to Shreveport for "Round 2". Bigger and better plans are already in the works!

Be watching our web page for further updates on the official dates and times!

I trust that you will forward this to the appropriate officers. I just wanted to thank your chapter for a FANTASTIC rally.

It was obvious that a LOT of people went to a LOT of trouble to pull this off. It was GREAT! Our chapter had the time of a lifetime.

Thanks again and regards,

Dear Mr. Poole:

I just wanted you to know that my husband and I had a great time at your rally. This was our first and it was awesome! All the bands were great! Everyone was friendly and helpful. Please let all of the people on your committee who worked so hard know that we certainly applaud all of their hard work and effort into making your rally a success.

We had never been to Shreveport/Bossier City - and again, it seemed like the whole town was accommodating.

We will look forward to next year.

Thanks for having us!

Thank you, thank you, thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had a really wonderful time there. Ya'll did a great job in organizing and putting on a terrific rally. We're proud of ya'll. We especially loved the field events but then that may be obvious. Even with the weather like it was it turned out to be a very successful rally. As always the comraderie with Harley Owners Group family is very endearing. Looking forward to seeing you guys at Texas State Rally in May.

By the way, mark your calendars for the first weekend in May for the 3rd, 4th, 5th for the Talihina Weekend in Oklahoma. We will be having a Poker Run, Bike Games, Bike Show, and Observation Run, all on Saturday.
We have notified 6-8 chapters and are expecting a good turnout. If all goes well there will be a keg party Saturday night.

Once again, thanks for a really wonderful weekend!

Hey Everyone (Rally Volunteers & Staff),

I didnt get a chance to speak with every one of you last nite. I just wanted to let you all know that I thought you ALL did an AWESOME job on the rally. It was and is my pleasure working with all of you.

I do think that the bar has been raised to a level that anyone that attended will be expecting other rally's to always measure up to OUR 2003 Louisiana State Hog Rally in Shreveport/Bossier.

Job Well Done,

The Original Rally Boy........Larry Poole (hehehehehe)

--------------REPLY--------------

I couldn't agree more! Thanks for being so dedicated to "the cause"! I'll look forward to working with each and every one of you on the 2004 event!

Ride on!

Hello. I am a resident of Bossier City and I was downtown yesterday for the event. I have a web based gallery with about forty images in it. I would like to link it to your home page, of offer it in your bulletin board, but I am not a member. Several owners said that they would love to see these pictures.
If you are interested, the link follows.

John Barnwell,

We just got home from the ralley and I wanted to say thank you for to all of the members for putting on an excellent event.

We travelled from Houma with 6 members from the Houma HOG club and we had a great time. The facilities were first class, the people working the event were very professional and the whole thing seemed well coordinated from the parking, to the food, the vendors, and the events.. Great job!!! The only thing that wasn't top rate and that you had no control over was the weather. I thought the parade was very well done.

It really made me feel connected by riding in that event. It started on time and flowed very smoothly. I have ridden in a bunch of events such as this and they all do not come off as smoothly as this. Hats off to you guys.

Thanks again and I look forward to the next one if it happens in Shreveport/Bossier City.

Thanks
Robert M Gouner
