Mackworth Island

Pix of the Mackworth show & winners are up in the Gallery, Winner's Circle and the Best Of... areas of HotKarz.

When we awoke this morning, we debated whether or not we would trek out to the Island - the rain was coming down hard in Limington (of course it was - it ALWAYS is).

But we took a chance and headed out. To our surprise, the weather at the Island was not that bad - a few sprinkles here and there, but only immediately after drying off the cars. When we stopped trying to dry the cars, the rain stopped altogether.

But the weather did keep a lot of folks away, unfortunately. But those intrepid souls who did attend were treated to the customary hospitality of the good folks who host the show to benefit Baxter School for the Deaf.

Ah-h-h, a fresh cup-a-joe first thing. And homemade apple pies.

Like last year, we strolled around the island trail, along the coast - a real treat for us landlubbers.

Although there were only 12 classes, they were well-defined, and every vehicle was able to find its proper place.

All in all, the show was rather flawless. We'll be back next year!
