Party at the shop
 

Since I don't have everyones email address I thought I would post it here as well.

As many of you know Ann and I have wanted to have a small gathering at the shop with friends and their cars. The Village of Pleasant Plains is having their annual garage sale on Saturday, June 6th from 8-1 so we thought we would have a get together from around 10-3 (or later) for those interested in having a relaxing afternoon and depending on the weather. There are thousands of people who venture into town that day for the sales so we thought we would try to take advantage of the increased traffic and get a gathering of cars to help promote the new business as well as a chance to gather with friends.

We have a large parking lot that we can park the cars and one which will have a minimal amount of traffic on this day. There is also plenty of room for truck and trailer parking if needed. Other than some slightly dusty conditions depending on the winds it is a great place to get together. Ann and I may have some pop and brats available and/or you can bring your own food, chips or drinks and for those interested the Grainery Bar and Grill is directly across the street. Maybe I can even talk Ann into whipping up something like chilli or......?

Come see the shop and the now mostly finished memorabilia room (always changing) dedicated to Fred Gibb, Dick Harrell and Dennis Hartweg. So far we have many great cars planning on attending such as an unrestored 72 Hurst Olds, LS6 Chevelle, 70 Pro Stock Camaro....., 2010 Camaro, 2008 Shelby Mustang, 2009 Hemi Challenger and several other very neat Day II and restored cars as well as many drivers.

We are located approximately 18 miles west of Springfield, IL on Highway 97/125 and once in the town of Pleasant Plains we are located directly west of Casey's gas station on Route 125. The Google Earth address is 207 State Route 125 West, Pleasant Plains, IL 62677. Sometimes this does not come up correctly on Google Earth. It is the large rectangular building with the semi/trailer pulling into the lot towards the west end of town and on the norht side of Rt. 125. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

Hope you can all join us. Don't be afraid to pass it along to anyone else who might like to drive their car out for the day.

If you think you can make it shoot me an email so we get an idea of how much space we will need.

Several people have emailed me stating that they want to stop by but their cars are not done. This is NOT about the cars but rather a get together with friends where cars may be present. Stop by regardless of what you are driving. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

I will do the best I can and if the P.P.F.D. leaves me alone that day! Been a wicked initiation so far. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

Damn. More pressure! Bruce can't make it, Charley got tired and quit posting pix, Tibor lost his camera, what's next?

Maybe I can get a Government subsidy! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gifhttps://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif
