What A Weekend

As many of you know, we trekked on up to the hinterlands (Pittsburg NH and Canaan VT) for the Moose Festival this weekend. But we were not alone - some fellow from Gray, Maine, also showed up (and took 2nd in his class). The festival provided opportunities for two more new items on the FUNNIES page.

The parade was on Friday, in Colebrook, along with street vendors and entertainment. I'll be getting some pix up shortly. Friday night, Ralph & Ulla had the courage to camp out in a tent. Around 2am his air mattress deflated, so they didn't get much sleep. And talk about chilly nights! If you've ever spent any time camping in the Great North Woods, you know what I mean.

On Saturday, it was a truly beautiful day for a show. We like this show because it is the only one around that actually has a class just for PT Cruisers, and it makes for an interesting contest as PT's come from NH, MA, NY, VT and Canada (and, of course, ours from Maine). While some truly gorgeous PT's were on display (pix here - I apologize to those I did not get pix of - I left my spare battery at the camp), I am happy to say that 1st place came home to Maine . The competition was tough, as each Cruiser was deserving of the honors. They were all great cars.

I liked the idea they used this year about having the winners drive by to pick up their trophies. They even gave the winners advance notice, so it would go smoothly. But it didn't. In spite of having advance warning, and again being asked to be ready to drive up, most of the winners were not ready. In many cases, everyone had to wait as much as 5 minutes for them to get around to coming up. This made the ceremony drag out until 4pm. Not good.

But all in all, the entire festival went very well, and we all had a great time. From the parade, to the show, to the fair, the chicken BBQ and more, it was nearly perfect - as usual.

But now we are home. And I have a ton of work to catch up on. I have 124 emails to answer, a surfboard to sand, and a car to clean out. but I already have all the pix posted - you will see a lot of great cars that you may not have seen before.

And if you like scenery, check out this great spot we found in Colebrook/Columbia NH

Later!
