Ocotillo Wells SVRA
October 15-16, 2010

Every October we meet in the desert to have some wheeling fun and give something back. Come join us October 15-16 at the Ocotillo Wells SVRA where we raise money, not only for the association, but also for the Cal-Diego Paralyzed Veterans Association.
 Whether you have a 4X4, motorcycle, quad or other off road toy, we have a run for you! The 4X4 runs offer choices for all skill levels from “scenic” to “body damage likely”. The motorcycle rides are geared for all experience levels. We also offer a ride for kids on motorcycles or quads. Basically, we offer something for everyone; that includes YOU! Even if you are a man wanting to go on the Powder Puff Run (this one is for the ladies), we allow it on the condition that you dress like a woman!
On Friday night we have a “Game” Run hosted by clubs and individuals all competing for your vote as “Best Stop.” With your event registration you receive one game card, and the person with the best hand receives a prize. You will also have the opportunity to buy additional game cards. The PVA receives the proceeds from these cards. We have the “Stops” set up in main camp so all folks can participate. Bring the whole family to walk from stop to stop, with each group requiring you to show varying talents to get your card!
Make sure to bring your RC truck with you, because Saturday afternoon before the raffle, we will have an opportunity for you to show off your RC toy on a rock crawling course. This is popular with kids and “big kids” of all ages! Depending on participation, we may even have a competition, so stay tuned.
Another thing we are trying this year is a “Best Equipped” game on Saturday before the raffle. If you have ever been to Hi Desert Round-Up, you are familiar with this game. Folks load up their rigs with everything but the kitchen sink (not that it’s not allowed!), then compete to see who can get their treasures across the finish line first. It’s a fun game, and all are welcome to compete.
 The Cal-Diego PVA receives all the proceeds from the raffle, and we even have a separate raffle for the kids. This worthy cause is completely dependent on donations from folks like us. All donations are tax deductible, so if you would like to donate money or product, or if you know of a company that would be interested, please contact us.
We understand that money is tight with fuel prices at ridiculous highs, and many folks fighting to keep their homes and jobs, so if you cannot afford to come out to participate, we urge you to register and buy a T-shirt to support your association. It’s no secret that event registrations are still below average, so we all have to do what we can to keep the association moving forward. All proceeds from registration go to CA4WDC.
This event is not only a great way to give back to a very deserving cause, but it is also a lot of fun! Come join us for a great weekend, or send in your registration and/or donation today.
