Mongo's Garage is not far from there. He says he has plenty of parking and has also invited his club, some fire fighters and boy scouts.
His shop looks plenty big enough to have the gathering.
More info to follow.

I would love to stop at Ted Drew's while going through St Louis (who knows). Not sure if we will drive straight through or stop somewhere, just playing it by ear.

The Grand shop is closed for the season. Open 11am till 11pm. Here is the menu. http://teddrewes.com/menuAnother must see stop is Crane's Store. It is 1/4 mile off of I-70 in the middle of nowhere at Williamsburg, Mo. Take Hwy D north exit 161. It's like walking into a country store in the 30's. They are also the biggest Carhart dealer in Missouri and make a good cheap sandwich to go. Make sure you pet the dog laying on the front porch as you walk in. https://cranes-country-store.com/about/How about a road trip report with pictures? I still have Alvin's number and will pm you my home and cell numbers. Glad you guys are joining us! Don
