10th. Anniversary

I 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

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. And Schonye,........... I ain't even going there.

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!

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'.

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

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