6/13/20 Update! 2020 Fall Rally Postponed!

[Marilynd]

To all Montana Owners Club (MOC) members:

After much consideration, and with sad hearts, we have decided to postpone the 2020 Annual North American-National Fall Rally until September of 2021. Our decision was not an easy one to make. We feel that with all the uncertainty brought on by COVID-19 and all its conditions, restrictions, and limitations, our final decision was made in the best interest for all our members.

Due to the State of Indiana regulations on maintaining Social Distancing at events, activities like the Ladies Driving School, the Keystone Tech Repairs, the Plant Tours, and the Amish Dinner could not have taken place this year. These same regulations would have also significantly impacted the number of members that we could have had in attendance.

We are all looking forward to a more normal 2021, if nothing else, we will have a better idea of what the New Normal will be in one year. We will begin to work on our plans for 2021 with our focus on making it the most memorable and special MOC National Rally ever to be held.

Save this date now to join us September 8th - 15th for the 2021 Montana Annual North American-National Fall Rally.

Lastly, we are working on the possibility of having a “Virtual Rally” in 2020. Keep checking back for details.

We wish everyone good health and safe travels until we see you again next year!

Best regards from your Wagon Masters,
Richard & Marilyn Dube

Disappointing but a wise decision considering.

[Loneoak]

That’s very disappointing, but you did the right thing. I appreciate that this was not an easy decision to make. Sure hope to see you next year! Thanks for all that you have done to get to this point.

[Charlie 3931fb]

You know what it is all good. We are all still here on the forum. I am sure, even that it is disappointing news that everyone here understands why the decision was made it was done in a loving, caring decision that no one comes home sick with the COVID-19. I know that I would not want that to happen to anyone that i new and care for. Another thing a lot of folk's here are buying new Montana's this year. We could have a full house next year. All in GOD'S time...

[Mikendebbie]

Sign me up for the virtual thing! Sounds interesting!

[Texan]

Right decision. With so many seniors at these rallies this could be devastating to our members. Nothing is more important than your health.

[Montana Man]

Call it a peaceful protest and it will all be good.

[ricksay]

Sorry to hear this. Will miss you guys.

[shetzel55]

Thank you to the Wagon Masters and the Assistants who have worked so hard for this rally. We hope to see all of you for 2021! Stay well and stay safe!

[Schautzie]

The right decision was made. Will certainly miss everyone this year but will be looking forward to next year! Safe travels for those who are and to all stay healthy!!!!

[sheilamcneeley]

Thanks for the update, we will miss you all but very much understand and wish everyone well during these crazy times!

[motto56]

Sad but looking forward to a virtual rally. Won’t be the same but can still “get together” that way. Thanks for all your work and careful consideration!

[Jay Bird]

Thank you Wagon Masters. Rosetta and I know it was a tough decision to make but you did the right thing. God Bless, keep safe, stay healthy and we look forward to seeing you in Sept 2021.

[Ram Montana High Country]

Thank you Wagon Masters - just mentioned to DW this AM it was very likely.

Looking forward to 2021. Still need to make the trip for IS install.

[Rondo]

Thanks to the Wagon Masters and their Team for all you have done up to this point to try and keep the Fall Rally a go but we do understand and we know you will continue to do planning for the 2021 Fall Rally. That Rally should be bigger and better than you had hoped the 2020 Rally to be. Looking forward to the 2021 Fall Rally and also looking forward to a possible Virtual Fall Rally and all that it might contain even though we will not be able to be there in person this year. Best of luck and hope everyone stays safe during this time of unknowns!

[Bill n Susan]

Thank you Wagon Masters... the right decision was made. We will all have twice as much fun at next years Rally.

[bish]

We too want to THANK our Wagon Masters, Richard & Marilyn for all the hours they have put into planning the Rally and the many sleepless nights they have had in making this decision.
It clearly is the right decision and we have 2021 to look forward to along with the possibility of a 2020 Virtual Rally.
Stay safe everyone!

[jeffba]

Tough call I am sure. here's to a Super Rally next year

[Five O'clock Somewhere]

Will only make us look forward to 2021 that much more. Take care.

[Nat_Park_Travelers]

Thank you for the information and explanation. Hopefully this will all go away soon. Already have it in my calendar for next year! Also thank you to all who worked so hard on trying to get it all together - we appreciate it!
