If you see me and my dad in the ford say hi!

 

Not sure people know about the art auction we do at our show. Proceeds from the art auction go to the Hannah Wells Medical Trust. We will be going to Boston Childrens Hospital June 12 and she is scheduled for open heart surgery on the 16th. Many get confused on the difference between the gate proceeds and the auction. Just trying to let people know the difference between the 2. The proceeds from gate and vendors go to Helping Hannahs Heart - a non profit designed to help other families that have children with congenital heart defects. Last year, after paying for the show, we were able to give $5000 to a family. This year we hope to do the same thing. So when you are paying your $10 a day entry, know that you are helping out a family with a child that is going through some pretty rough times..... And when you bid on art, you are helping us directly. Thank you for all the support over the years. We do not take it for granted and hope that people will come out rain or shine. Check out this art that Hetz did!!!!

 

Get er done Ed! Get gone n get ur ass out here!

 

Hetz never dissapoints and awsome job on everything he does!

 

I'm starting to get more easily distracted at work and the weather is driving me insane. Here's hoping for a sunny Thursday morning to get here soon!!! :beer::beer:

thanks

 

I would probably be able to do that John since I haven't missed one yet. Just get a hold of me later in the year I guess.

 

You can find my pre-64 #swapmeet stuff under my IG account @hotrodjeep and like John said check out #vintagetorquefest

I'll be posting more tonight as I start to load the Tahoe for the trip.

Just wondering if anyone that is vending would have brake shoes for a 54 Plymouth belvedere

 

not sure about this show - but we always have a guy that sets up at Iron Invasion..........

 

Just so everyone knows.... I will be out of the loop now until Monday night. Yes, it takes this long to set up and tear down. Gotta load the trailer today and go get more CHAIN RACING cars tonight. Then unload the stuff tomorrow....Thursday is setup for vendors and feature cars and Friday is the show. Seeya there. Steve Day or Doug Siemen are probably the best people to direct questions to from here on out.

 

I know I didn't sign up officially to volunteer, but I will be there Thursday afternoon and I am more than willing to lend a hand if you need it. I will PM you my info, I'm camping all weekend.

See ya Thursday mornin'.

 

Going to be there with a bunch of friends with some vintage mini bikes and this guy. Look for him in the swap area.

 

Looks like the rain may hold off.... Plan is for us to leave late Friday, and hope the trans holds together in the Chevy.... Maybe just trailer it part way if it looks sketch.... Either way looking forward to going again.
