The Show-Me F100's is an F1 and F100 truck club for
'48-'52 F1's and '53-'79 F100 pickups and panels.

This is our official Ozarks Run page!  You'll be able to find all the information that you'll need to know for each run by checking here first (dates, registration forms, flyers, vendors, prices and anything else we've got on the list).  I'm sure you'll find it more organized too!  Stop back and check things out to make sure you stay "up to date" on the latest Show-Me F100's Ozarks Run news.

Ozarks Run

July 10th, 11th, 12th, 2009
Ramada Inn & Reunion Center
1700 W Hwy 76
Branson, Mo.
800-641-4106

(for MOTEL reservations ONLY)


Check out Area 57 which is where the Ozarks Run is held.  It sits between the Ramada Inn and Dick Clark American Bandstand Theater and all festivities for the show will take place there.  No more walking up and down the hills to view trucks because they'll all be together!  We'll have specific parking for registered vehicles too so you won't have to worry about finding a place to park!  If you have a pop-up 10x10 tent, please feel free to bring it because we'll have plenty of room for you to set up and get out of the sun.  We'll also have concessions on the property, Friday night live music on stage (in the center of the grassy area), Saturday DJ, awards in the afternoon and Saturday night we'll have a drive-in for your enjoyment!

Look around the Area 57 link to get an idea of what's going on with the property......check out the "Photos" section because the pictures there are of OUR show!

Check back later for updates and more information as I get it!  We've a lot in store for 2009, so come join us in the fun!

UPDATE:  Check out the Area 57 map with placement of trucks, vendors, music, DJ and more.  We will be following this map at the 2009 show.

If you'd like to be a vendor at our show, contact me (Bj) at (417) 863-9501 (cut off date for 2009 vendors has passed).  I take vendor names and numbers early, so if you'd like to be a vendor, please contact me as early as you can.  I'm also looking for craft vendors too!  If you've missed the cut off date for this year but want to make sure you're set up for the following year, just give me a call and I'll add you to our roster for the following year and contact you early to make sure you still want to vendor at the show.

Early registration for trucks starts March 1st, and the forms on the page will be active then if you want to print one out and send it with your check to me.  Early registration always gets you a little something "extra" in your goody bag, and if you register between March 1st and April 15th, you can add a FREE t-shirt to that registration price!  Registrations taken until July 1st - after that date please register at the show.  Dick Clark American Bandstand Theater does not have registration forms or flyers to send you, so please make all inquiries with me.  Thanks!



Join us Saturday evening at 6pm for a sit down dinner at Dick Clark's American Bandstand Grill!

UPDATE:  Because of the lack of interest for the sit down dinner at Dick Clark Grill, we've dropped the "ready made" dinner that many of the bus tours enjoy.

Because of the great food and easy access to the grill from Bldg 700, those who work there will most likely have our dinner at the Grill (I've already heard from many people who want to join us).  If you'd like to join us Saturday night, let us know when you register your truck (or drop me an email now) so we can get a head count.  Seating can be limited depending on the area we sit, so the sooner we know you'd like to join us, the better it will be for service at the grill.  The area directly to the left of the door as you walk in along with the small room off of it seats around 40 people.....so you can get the idea of what we are talking about.

Registration Fee - $25
If you register between March 1st and April 15th (you can download the registration form and mail it in with your check), you will receive a free t-shirt of your choice (must be present to collect your t-shirt)!  So, you're actually saving $15.  How's that for a bargain?  You'll get a coupon when you come to the registration desk to pick up your goody bag and you can go pick out your t-shirt from there.  The cost for registration is $25, so if you want a free t-shirt, send in your check early and save yourself a few dollars!  We also welcome those who want to register but have no vehicle.  You can still register, get a goody bag and dash plaque, and a chance at door prizes.  If you register by April 15th (must recieve your registration by the 15th), you can add a free t-shirt in with that price!  What a great deal!
Didn't make the free t-shirt deadline?  That's ok, send us your registration anyway, 'cuz we put a little "extra" in the goody bags of those who register before the show (by July 1st)!  We do this because it allows us to have your information already typed up on our registration sheet so you can check in quicker!  Besides, you just might get a really cool surprise!

Sponsored Trophies
Beside the trophy I'll list the names of those sponsoring each one so you can get an idea of what trophies are still available.

If you'd like to sponsor one specific trophy, please let me know which one (or more) you'd like to sponsor as soon as possible (March to June 1st).  We need this information in before June 1st so we can have your name or company name engraved on the name plates.  So check this list often to see what trophies are left.  I'll update this page as soon as I get notice of changes.  Payment needed before June 1st also.  Thanks!

Door prizes given to those who register only, and door prizes may be limited, so make sure you get your registration in before April 15th to recieve your free t-shirt.  If you missed the April 15th deadline, you can still send in your registration.....you won't get a free t-shirt, but you will be considered an early registration, and we have a little "extra" in our early registration goody bags.  You save yourself time when registering 'cuz all we have to do is check off your name, give you your goody bag and door prize and you can go enjoy the trucks!
(Registrations received until July 1st by mail)


Men's Raffle
The men's raffle this year is.......MOTORS!  Recently we got notification that Bill Wages with AER Manufacturing is bringing a 302 Windsor HO, long block motor.  It'll have a water pump, valve covers, rocker arms and a few other things too!
Tickets for this raffle are $5 each or 5 for $20, so bring your change!  You must be present to win....no tickets sold through the internet, and only sold at the show, so come on down and get a chance to win this beauty!  We don't have an exact value on this at the moment, but I'm sure you won't be able to find one just like it!

So now you know what the "surprise" was!  Wasn't it worth the wait?  I thought you'd like that one!  See ya at the show!


Ladies Raffle
This year you'll have to think "Gardening".....and of course "Summer!"  I'm sure you'll enjoy the mixed bag we're putting together this year!

Ladies Gifts
We enjoy giving credit to the ladies who have stood by their man when it comes to their trucks and for that we want to welcome and thank them!  We have a small gift for each lady who is listed on the registration form.  Charlotte Kinsenger had been donating ladies gifts for years and because of her donations we are continuing this tradition.  Thanks Charlotte!  We will continue your great idea!

Ozarks Run T-Shirts
We have tons of great colors this year so be sure to check them out when you come to register.  We'll be in Bldg 700 which sits between the Ramada Inn and the Dick Clark Grill.  For those who register between March 1st and April 15th, you will recieve 1 FREE t-shirt, so get your registration in early!  (1 shirt per registration and you must be present to get your free shirt)

Guestbook

I started the truck club guestbook in 2005, and we've continued adding to it each year.  Don't forget to sign it while you're at the show!  The Guest Book will be at the Registration Desk.

NOTE:  If you've got some good pictures you'd like to add to the upcoming years guestbooks bring them along, or mail them to me if you choose (you can also send them to me via the internet, but please do NOT downsize them, I need them in their original form).  If you send me a self addressed stamped envelope I will send them back to you after they're scanned and copied.  I may not use them all, but I'll save them for guestbooks to come.  I hope you like this idea 'cuz I've had fun working on it!

Cash Donations
Any cash donation is always welcome!
(make checks payable to "Show-Me F100's")
These donations go toward the costs for putting on the Ozarks Run so they are always welcomed.  If you would like to donate for something specific, please give me a call or drop me an email and I can let you know what you could help with.  We always have a cost somewhere that we'd love to get covered!  We will gladly announce those who have donated to the show either by finances or by gift donations.  You don't know how much your support really does help!

They will be open early Friday morning and open for all our activities, including our Saturday night Drive-In movie (American Graffiti).

Saturday Dj

Did you enjoy the DJ?!  Bud Perry from Bud's Tires & Wheels here in Springfield brought his trailer and set up in the grass and he'll be back again in 2009!  Bud also helps us with the awards, so we're looking forward to another great year!  Got a favorite song you'd like to hear?  Stop by and let Bud know 'cuz I'll bet he's got that song tucked safely away just waiting for you to hear!

Flyers & Registration Forms
If you've been to either of the last 2 runs and have registered your vehicle (or paid for registration w/out a vehicle), you will automatically recieve our flyer and registration forms the following year.  If you haven't been to a run for the last 2 years or would like to be put on our mailing list, drop me an email with your full name and mailing address (please include phone number) or give me a call and I'll be happy to drop one in the mail for you.  Flyers and registrations are sent out around March 1st.

Motel Reservations
If you didn't pre-register at the 2008 Run or weren't able to make it to the show, but would like to keep the same room you had, or would like to plan on reserving a room for 2009, please give the motel a call right away (800) 641-4106.  You can cancel up to 24 hours before hand and not be charged for your room, so take advantage of the availability right now and get your room reserved.

Please make sure you mention that you're coming to the "Show-Me F100's Ozarks Run" so you'll get your special rate.  The motel won't have information about the show for you, the number above is for "reservations ONLY".  Our room rate for 2009 is $49.95.  If you have any problems when calling, please ask for Eli or Veronica.  Along with your room you'll recieve a coupon for a "hot breakfast" for every day you're there!  It's NOT just a Continental breakfast either, but a full breakfast buffet!

If you're not sure about the room number you had, give them a call and get it corrected right away so you will be added to their computer correctly.  Make sure you have the correct DATE of arrival and departure too.  They can only do so much, ok?!  Thanks!

    POP TABS    
For those of you who bring pop tabs every year, we're still collecting them,
so bag 'em up and bring 'em with you!  Many find that putting them in a rinsed out water or milk jug works very good in transporting (I'm using a liquid detergent bottle myself - minus the spout of course!).  You've got all year to save them, so get an early start!

It takes a lot of pop tabs to bring in a decent donation, so get your friends and family involved and have them save their pop tabs (soup tabs, or anything that's alluminum) and bring them when you come down.

Bringing pop tabs is an awesome way to show loyalty to a truck club and you have shown it through the years with flying colors!  Thank You SO Much for helping us!

A Few of Our Vendors
If you're interested in being a vendor at the Ozarks Run, just drop me an email or give me a call and I'll let you know what space we have available (looking for craft vendors too).  You will need a temporary license for the city of Branson and I can send you the application for this if you're not able to download it and print it out from the website (only vendors with a Branson Temporary License will be allowed to sell their items).  With Area 57 now open for our show, each vendor will have their own spot with electric (if needed for an extra $25 for the weekend)!  Call for details.You must have a temporary license and be on our roster to vendor at the show (this includes any truck parts, swap meet items, etc.), and applications and fees must be recieved by me by June 1st, (the sooner the better).  Sorry, but all others will be asked to leave.  It's not my rule, but Branson's.

NOTE:  It's never too early to get your name in for the following year, so don't wait too long - with a change in the property, our vendor area has expanded so we look forward to more vendors!  Get your name in now!  You can also send me your business card and I'll give you a call.  Thanks!
ALL vendors are asked to donate an item or coupon toward an item for a door prize.
