Bruce, it's everything from 'normal' folks and cars to those that like to dress the part and spookify their vehicles. It's all good.

BLyke · 1K+ Club

Thanks Stan,
I suspected it would be. Not sure if i will be driving either of my old cars but think we can make it. it has been a run of of hard to make dates lately.

bowtie · Secretary

Yeah, normal people are the "norm", but kids are welcome to dress up, go trick-or-treating from car to car. I know several 'Steiner members make special stickers just to put on store-bought suckers and dress up thier cars. Fun show anyway. They have pipe rapping, flame throwing, costume contest, etc. The 'Steiners are usually there in full force too, and they do an excellent job staffing and running the show.

bowtie · Secretary

oh yeah, get there early too. I was thinking we could do a meet-up at my place before the show, leaving at 8am sharp. I'm just a couple miles away.

What do you 2-headlight guys know about "normal" people?

It's true we're kind of a above average group but we try to be humble so we can relate to the average 4-headlight person.

Runs from 0900 until when?

bowtie · Secretary

About 3. It covers the entire Anoka fairgrounds, similar to how the '50s covers all of those fairgrounds.

That should work Bryan. Worst case, we can post someone there to direct people to where we are parked.

Also forgot to add that lunch will NOT be provided by the club in case anyone was planning on that.

Since we need to find Stan's car for the meeting it hopefully a bit smaller and little easier to cover the whole show to track him down for the 1:00 meeting

Stan, Any thoughts on a general area you plan to locate, or is it small enough not to be a concern?

bowtie · Secretary

I want to add too that most people showing thier cars also have a candy dish for the kids that are trick-or-treating........

bowtie · Secretary

fyi-Parking is first-come, and in every year past there has been a long line to get in.

BLyke · 1K+ Club

we will look for the windmill, thanks

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE

The meeting is now at 10 A.M. Sunday because of the cold weather so that people don't have to stand in the cold until the afternoon, and there is a good chance the meeting will be cancelled anyway as now the weather looks like 40's and 60% of rain!

We will post on this thread by Noon on Saturday if the meeting is cancelled due to weather. Stay tuned.

If the meeting is at 10.00 am, a Noon notification is a bit late. Did you mean 8.00 am ??

Duh, I keep thinking THIS is Saturday. Hard to keep track of the days when you don't work...

BLyke · 1K+ Club

thanks for the update, with the revised time and forecast we will not be able to make it.

MEETING CANCELLED

The weather car show gods have left for the winter... Forecast for Anoka tomorrow is now showing 46 degrees, 50% of rain, and 14 mph winds. Not fun.

Don't forget about the Nov. meeting 'inside' at the Tin Shed in Savage on Sat., Nov. 16th for the officer elections.

bowtie · Secretary

I saw 2 members there, plus what I swear was Darren's flamed 4 door, but never saww him.

I left about 11, kids were too cold and wet and I was starting to get sick of it too. The weather came back around in the early afternoon. Total car count was still over 400.
