Hello Everyone!

We have set a date for the 2017 Gabfest. The Gabfest will be held on Saturday, August 26th at the Wisconsin Auto Museum in Hartford, WI.

More information will be made available as it becomes available.

Hope to see a lot of 'Bolters there!

Keep me informed on the Gabfest. Had a scheduling conflict last year and couldn't make it. I'm keeping this date open.

Good to hear, I was committed to a Pulling contest last year but the date looks open this year. Hope to be there.

Round two of the Midwest Gabfest in Hartford ,WI. Last year was warm and a bit wet but a great turnout considering. Let's do it again.




We are holding an informal (no fees, no trophies) gathering on August 26th, at the Wisconsin Automotive Museum in Hartford, WI.

Here is a chance to meet face-to-face with other vintage Chevrolet and GMC truck owners around our Great Lakes region (or farther!) to make new friends, exchange information, and to check out vintage trucks!

You don’t have to have a show quality truck to enjoy the fun. We welcome GM trucks of all shapes and sizes (unrestored stock, restored, street rods, daily drivers, etc.).

Just bring your truck and join the fun! Is your project still not on the road? Bring it on a trailer if you like ... or just bring some pictures of your pride and joy.

Come and make some connections with other truck owners and pick up some tips and tricks!

A local drive in restaurant will be at the event supplying food and ice cream. A few local restoration shops will have something there to look at.

When you’re here, spend some time checking out the Wisconsin Automotive Museum, home of the Kissel Kar (built in Hartford from 1906 to 1931), and the Southeastern Wisconsin Short Track Hall of Fame (celebrating local stock car racing history). Discounted museum admission for Stovebolters!

The Hartford Auto Museum is a great venue. Also it is located in downtown Hartford which has great little shops and restaurants for the whole family to enjoy.
Camping and Pike lake are also nearby.

We'll have t-shirts and decals for the event (for purchase).

Come on and join us - with or without a truck!

August 26th, 2017 (9 am to 3 pm)

The more trucks we gather together the better. Bring your projects, we want to see them all.

Hello!

Actually the date is Saturday, August 26th.

All is going smoothly for Gabfest 2017 Hartford. Plans are made, flyers are available and we are ready. Release the trucks !
Remember - we are looking for ANY GM trucks running or not up to 1973. We had newer trucks last year and that is great but we want to see the trucks that are tucked away, being worked on or whatever. Load em up!
Come and tell us about your project or share your ideas.

I finally got the info loaded on the Stovebolt.com homepage. Did I get everything right? Let me know if I need to correct/update anything. If the flyer is available as a .pdf or jpg, would someone send it to me? editor@stovebolt.com


Thanks!

Yup, looks good, I can send a flyer where do I send it?
