Due to me having too many irons in the fire, I was only able to attend for the day, but what a great time I had!
Don and Vicky, Mike and Pat and Jeff did a fantastic job making sure that all was under control at the Stovebolt booth. After the photo shoot, the annual meeting and giveaway went smooth as silk. It was a pleasure chatting with the usual bunch and meeting some new members for the very first time. Overall, attendance was down most likely due to the predicted wet weather, but it actually turned out to be a pretty nice day. It started out overcast and a little drizzly, but it didn't last long and wasn't enough to get you wet. By mid afternoon the sun was shining down on all of the vintage iron that was on display.
Special thanks to Mongo and crew for running a top notch event and like always we (us Stovebolters) were treated like royalty. Gaylene stopped by to thank us for attending and also announced that next year will be their 20th year hosting the show. It would be really cool if next year we could help them break their all time attendance record (weather permitting of course).
