Looks like I will be attending as somehow, a room was booked for me at La Quinta.  :icon_biggrin:  :thumbsup: I plan to arrive Saturday and depart for home after the show Sunday, unless there's a compelling reason to stay another night.  :cheers2:  :headbang:

That way, I can get half way home. Hoping for good weather that weekend.  :icon_thumright:

Not sure if I can bring anything down for the feast,  as I wouldn't want to spread any botulism.  :icon_puke_r:

Let me know if I can help in any other way.

Oh yes, pretty sure I know my way around the TC area main roads.

May have some bad news about my attending. 

It looks like I need to get my brown car down to Fargo, ND for shipping to PA. Tried to make it happen this weekend, alas that's not in the cards. So, I'm now looking at this Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. Not sure if my employer will give me 2 more days off, on top of the 3 previously booked for this show.  :sad1:  I need to rent an open trailer, which is tough on very short notice.

Mark, if I cannot get online here to advise the group, I'll either call or text you at the number I have.

I really want to be there.

We will only be able to make it to the show for a while. Will be driving up with a couple of other Buicks from Nicollet and Sleepy Eye. Sorry, unable to make the party but hope to meet as many of you as possible.

It looks like I may have also hooked at least one of three friends that spent their youth campaigning
A body nailhead Buick's at local Twin Cities Speedway and Minnesota Dragway's.

Unfortunately the land these tracks lived on became way to valuable but the memories will live with me forever.

Packed the goody bags yesterday for the show and have only one week left to wait.

Well gang, it looks like I'll be there, unless a blizzard hits that is. Going to drive my car down, come hell or high water.
Planning to leave my house at 0800 Saturday, see you guys at Rob's shop sometime that afternoon.

The Fargo trip isn't happening, so we're looking at other options to get the brown GS to its new owner.

Getting Ready

So little time, so much to do.

Dust em off, change the fluids, tools in the trunk, road test, polish, cruise, worth every minute.

I'll be there at Rob's shop on Saturday, whenever Rob opens for business. Rob, can I bring dessert? Beer?  Looking forward to seeing the old gang and new attendees.  John

I will be there mid afternoon-ish. Bringing some chips and dip and a couple of platters of store bought cookies. Hope for decent weather.

Glad you're going to make it Tom.

Does anyone else have picture books they can bring?

They can be fun.
