If we do this again would it be on the traditional "Cruise In / Barn Raising" date of the Memorial Date weekend or some other time?

The last Barn Raising, BR IV, was poorly attended with most people saying that "its always in Bowling Green and always the Memorial Day weekend".

being part of a holiday weekend does help Yvonne and I, we're not retired (yet) and not needing to take vacation days to attend a BR is helpful.

But it doesn't need to be THAT holiday weekend though...

Part of the reason that Cruise In failed as well.

Us working stiffs can't always afford to take a few days off work.

I did make something back in May '13, was a day late on my last leg of my bucket list trip. There was one red plastic cup left on the parking lot under the trees by the picnic bench at the Hampton Inn. Must have been a good time.
