+Cornerstone4 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 These won't be available for purchase until after our event at the end of the month, but, I was so excited with how well they turned out, that I had to post a picture! We are having our second event in our little valley this month. We are expecting well over 200 people to attend, so we thought we would make an event coin! (Why not, it's as good of an excuse as any!) Anyway, one of the things that brings people to our little valley each summer is our Balloon and Wine Festival. Hot Air balloons, wine tasting from all the local vineyards, free concerts, what more can you ask for! With that in mind, here is our new coin! Pricing and order info will be posted about the 1st of March. Trackable with a custom Icon. Quote Link to comment

+kayakerinme Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I think you'd need more hot air to lift an ammo box that size :-) Very nice design - wish I could get to the event but will settle for jockeying for a coin afterwards. Up, up, and away! Quote Link to comment
+Ladycacher Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 (edited) When I was young and living in Wichita Kansas, my mom would get me up REALLY early to go to the Hot Air Ballon Festival they had once a year at River Fest Time. I think they still do it, but anyway, It would be dark when we got there and chilly too. I remember the sounds of the balloons getting ready and the heat that came off them to warm me up. I dreamed of taking a ride in one of those balloons one day and I am still dreaming of it. It was a amazing thing to me then. I will have to get one of these when they are ready. Great coin!

+Cornerstone4 Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 I got the Temecula Event coins in today, and they look great. I know we will have coins available next week. We have well over 200 people coming to the event, but not all of them are coin collectors. Even though only the Polished Nickel coins will be available outside of the event, here is the breakdown on the finishes: 10- Silver Finishes (These coins are marked with an "S" after the tracking number.) No sales on these. 40- Gold Finish 960- Polished Nickel Quote Link to comment

+Cornerstone4 Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 I thought these weren't available till the end of the month???? how come I saw like 3 on ebay? Those are from us. Since they are going to end up there anyway, we figured we may as well get first dibs on the ebay auctions. I am sure there will still be some available next week. Quote Link to comment
+-SuMa- Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Nice coin, can I buy one? regards Marc Quote Link to comment

I would like to order one when they become available ..they are beautiful! Quote Link to comment

ParentsofSAM Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Can I get one too? Where do I need to be and when? Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I'm pretty sure C4 is busy packing up all the bikerdog coin orders and will probably announce a sale of the "balloon" coins once that's completed. There should be several hundred left over Quote Link to comment
+PassingWind Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I'm pretty sure C4 is busy packing up all the bikerdog coin orders and will probably announce a sale of the "balloon" coins once that's completed. There should be several hundred left over C4 put together an amazing geocaching event on Sunday (actually 2 events) that he put an enormous amount of time and effort into preparing. The Bikedog coins were the first priority for preparing the coins for shipping, most of those were prepared for shipping on Sunday evening at the event. From what I understand a handful of event attendees still want coins so C4 needs to take care of them first and then he needs to take a bit of a rest for himself, he must be exhausted. I don't see waiting for more than a few days before he mentions a sale date. Otherwise, you could always make a trade with someone! Cheers, PassingWind Quote Link to comment
+Cornerstone4 Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 Thanks for posting updates AG and PW. You are both correct. One thing that happened is we were selling both bikedog, and event coins at the event on Sunday. Unfortunately, I didn't think ahead, and people were paying for both together, and for the first hour, the funds were mixed. So, I have spent several hours getting all the bikedog coins packed and getting an exact count. That money needs to come first, even if I shortchange myself on the event coins. I can't sleep easy until this gets straightened out. It may be Monday before I can open up sales. I have a commitment that will keep me away from a computer for the weekend, and I would hate to open up sales and come back to a big mess. Thanks for your patience. Quote Link to comment
Parrolet Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I hope to get one when you do. Quote Link to comment
+Packman5 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 We also hope to get one of these!! Very nice design!! Quote Link to comment
+UtChaz & Family Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 If there are any left over we'd certainly like 2 or 3. The drive that far south just isn't in our cards right now. Hope it all comes off without a hitch, have fun... Chaz Quote Link to comment
