A few thoughts for now......
What a great show it was, well attended. I felt it was one of our best; I loved it, it was fun. We just get better. Lots of new faces I got to meet.
A
big thank you To all the volunteers & sponsors who helped make everything come together and flow smoothly, yes smoothly. On site exhibitors included Jeff Ismail and Chad maycroft @ihon, Isa and royce Ismail @ Isa' s IH, John Glancy's Super Scout Specialists, and bill @ hamilton fuel injection. Thanks to dan minor for accepting the babs sponsor plaque.
Weather was ideal. Sunny skies with temps in the mid 70's. The nights were actually pleasant, not to chilly.
Aroma catering provided 2 excellent meals, and plenty of it, for all of us. Ya know, I liked having our catered meals at the lake francis grange hall. It was comfort able and out of the elements for both dinner and breakfast.
Babs once again provided a fantastic chili dog lunch. 144 chili dogs served.
Lot's of pickup trucks this year - the "year of the pickup".
A lot of you worked on your trucks this past year. Nice rigs. Judging was very competitive this year. [I'm gonna work on my 1300 this year
even saw a few people fishing and swimming [floating] In the lake.
Both the kids and adult raffles were a huge success. The ticket organizer came in handy.
Speaking of kids, thank you to norma Ismail, misty hancock and her Mom beanie, and ada hill for providing the kid with lots of stuff to do. I hope I got all the ladies.
Babs'sters dave perez, Craig johnson, Joe & stacy santens, jayson watkins, rob, doc, a big thank you for all you do for the show and especially for keeping me focused.
[this was the most relaxed I've been]
The event shirt and hoodies were a hit, just like last year's 50th anniversary shirt. Justin, from palmer signs designed a very impressive shirt for us. There are a few shirts of each size and a several l & xl hoodies available. So if you would like to purchase these items, contact ihon. Also, previous years shirts.
We greatly improved our program, so I hope it helped you during the show. The notes and networking pages will always be included in future programs.
Any questions, comments and suggestions, please email or pm me. On the personal side,
it's your show too, So help me make it better for ya, as planning has already begun for next year.
I hope to see you all for the 7th annual Sierra Fall Rallye.
Wonderful traditions we've established because of you.
. Too many conflicts. I do have all these raffle prizes though. I would like to arrange with some one who's going and have them take them up. I could meet at the 50's diner easily between 8:00 am and 2:00 pm. This week or next, mon thru fri.
