Yeah, it was pretty neat. Liked Paul's new ride, engine sounded awesome; Dave Perry drove his bus all the way from central Florida to sell some racks; Skyler, my 7 year old granddaughter said the neatest part of the show was getting to go the top of the monument; and she also commented that her mom got a lot of tan (I told her I called it sunburn); congrats to Tim Drachenberg for getting best of show in his 51 split; and to Steve and Sharon for getting best display. Still haven't figured out how in the world Steve gets all of that coke stuff packed in that Westy. And I wish we could figure out how to get all those Houston area people to attend shows anywhere else other than Houston. 150+ cars, most of which have never been seen anywhere more than 30 miles from Houston. And as to the "no show" season coming up: There is the buggy blast in Salado put on by the Manx Buggy club in two weeks. Neat little show primarily for the buggies but all VWs are welcome and they have a neat cruise and picnic and it's in a neat little town. Also, a show on June 26 I believe in Oklahoma City. Then of course you have the summer to plan for Eureka. And a bus side note: Auction concluded on Jane's pink 21 window bus: Looks like it went for $32,500. ________________________________ From: "a1992cabbygirl@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <a1992cabbygirl@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Mon, May 17, 2010 7:41:26 AM Subject: [tcb] Monument Show... Well, the 20th annual Monument Show is behind us. Now the long drought of no shows begins. But we did have a good showing of Type 2s yesterday. I think I counted 10 in total. Some that I hadn't even seen before. Congrats to all the winners from the TCB... Mark J. Trey J. Chris D. (cajun eskimo) Sammy If I missed anyone...I am sorry. There were over 150 cars there and the weather was not even the best...but after about 10:30...boy did it get hot!!! Lots of people are hurting this morning after getting sunburned. Hope everyone had a good weekend. Emily
