Put it on my calendar as a maybe. Too much going on right now to commit.

Hey Randy, I'm hoping to be there again this year, been very busy this summer but I believe we only have one more tractor pull on the 1st. Hopefully I can get the truck out in time.
Randy - I can't get my '51 to make it there, but I could still come up in my daily driver. It that still an opportunity? I grew up in Dane Co many moons ago and would like to get a chance to come up and meet some fellow Bolters from my old stomping grounds. What do you think?
PS - Since I am in the KC Metro area, if someone from up there was to order/purchase stuff from KCMongo, Jim Carter or Classic Parts, I could certainly collect and transport them up there and save someone some shipping costs. I've got an 8' bed on my 2013 Chevy Silverado and tarps and tie downs to protect/secure a load. It would be no charge shipping as I'm going to burn the gas up and back anyway.

Dan it would be nice to meet you. I kinda plan to drive down there. Not sure what people might want to see. 1958 step or a 1959 Panel. Would be my first event.
Thanks BD. It'd be nice to meet you as well. I think I'm going to make a go of it. Drive up Friday and crash at my brothers place in Oregon, then leave early Saturday to drive up to Hartford and hang out for the day.

Well, as usual, stuff changes - blah. Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to make the Saturday event after all.
BD - I appreciate your interest in meeting up. Perhaps another day sir.
Hope anyone that does attend takes and posts some pictures so I can at least see what I missed. You all have a good time!

Well the attendance at this years' gabfest was a little thin, the weather forecast may have had something to do with that. But it was great to meet everyone who did attend.
A gathering is still a gathering, whether big or small. I wish I had been able to attend. Some very nice looking trucks and appreciate you sharing them! Maybe next year for me.
