Mal -

I couldn't have described that bunch of scoundrels any better!

Though they didn't get the 100+ Packards I was hoping for, there were over 50 fine cars in attendance - and every one of their owners now knows about this great site.

Randy and I are veteran attendees, though I am still merely a spectator with too many projects. Having made the long trip by car for two years in row now, I think John would tell you that this the best Packard-only event in the area. We were all very happy to see BigKev make it all the way out from the West Coast.

We were also pleased that Mr. Pushbutton cold make it for a few hours as well, thanks to some "business" he had in nearby Cleveland. No matter how many Packard shows Pushbutton has been to, I can tell you that he enjoyed the W.D. Packard Concert Band and its rich brass big-band sound, playing in the outdoor amphitheater - something I don't think you'll find at any other annual Packard event.

The only thing lacking was a swap meet, but I heard that the organizers just can't seem to develop enough interest from vendors.
