I hope your not talking about the 1st. reunion when I did a unintended burn out in the grass. Just put the motor in the Nova & trottle stuck open!! Chased a gal with a baby stroller in the grass. All most the first & last reunion. Wow bad deal. Burford was riding with me he was impressed.

Long story.......... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

One of his 'escapades' left him with a bit of road rash, AKA 'Strawberries'. Hence.........

Quote; "Hey....I caught the remark from SS427 about Howie's tying down the car next time he decides to work on her...not a bad idea especially after not one but two incidences of that car literally running away with him and the resulting damage to Kim's body...what do ya think of a new nick name for Mr Howie....Shortcake, as in "Strawberry" Shortcake comes to mind...........

Not so sorry Kim as I more than owed you one!
Annie"

I always thought road rash was called "rasberries" but she calls them strawberries. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: 10th. Anniversary
 

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gifI thought this was the Gibb Show thread not the Mr. Howie report. What ever it takes to get you guys and gals here. I am afraid we would have to shut the show down if Mr. Howie didn't show up. Being Mayor we do have a few perks to our advantage. We might send the Police Depart, Fire and Amb. out and escort him to the grounds. Might even get a little tv coverage. Seriously, I do feel a little big headed knowing that maybe we had little part in getting this group together 10 year ago. Thanks and keep up the humor, Mayor B https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Re: 10th. Anniversary
 

Ken, You & Jerry have done excellent Job in getting the show started. I want to THANK YOU both for amount of work and time both of you have put into this show. Kim https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: 10th. Anniversary
 

Mayor B, I don't think you should feel Big Headed at all. If anything you should have nothing but Pride in all you folks have accomplished.
The Monmouth/LaHarpe weekend has become one of our "Must Do" events every year, and it's not just the cars and the shows, but the people!
Ask ANYONE who has attended, and continue to return every year. As for Howie, well,.....I guess he's one of the necessary evils we endure. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif And Schonye,........... I ain't even going there. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Everyone knows we love these guys, otherwise we wouldn't hammer on them like we do; and it's ALWAYS a treat to be in their presence. Then you throw in the likes of the Barnharts, Ray Morrison, Annie and Rick, the Gibb Ladies, Herbie, You and Anita, Jerry and Cathy, Bob and Nancy, Tom and Diana and the somewhat newcomers of the Stowers', the Tibors, Darren and family, and on and on; it's kinda like a family reunion except with people you really like! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

We can rant about this event all day but until you come see it for yourself and meet these folks you'll never really understand. It really is like 'coming home'.

Re: 10th. Anniversary
 

Same here. We'll drive down together.. I offered that to Sam as well.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: 10th. Anniversary
 

Update:
Everybody coming to the show next week, might think serious about going to Ft. Madison and crossing the bridge. Burlington is long waits and some gravel on the Il. side. Go to Ft. Madison, cross into Niota, take route 9 to Dallas City and follow to LaHarpe. thanks Ken

Re: 10th. Anniversary
 

How about the guys coming in from the West and headed to Monmouth Friday; any options there?

If coming from KC or points SW, Keokuk or Fort Madison would work. If coming from NW, Davenport (Quad Cities). Only bridge between Quad Cities and Burlington is Muscatine - about 50 miles north of Burlington (US34).
So, if coming across US 34 in Iowa, Fort Madison is still best. Drop down off US 34 at Mt. Pleasant on Hwy 27, take exit 19 at Donnellson and follow IA2 east 15 miles to the bridge.
By the way, it's a draw bridge so you could have to wait 15-30 minutes if it's open.........

Re: 10th. Anniversary
 

Hi Dave, The burlington bridge is open. The carman Black top is closed. I'm staying in Burlington at friends place.

Re: 10th. Anniversary
