Any folks wanna enjoy the weather to Putnam CT, short trips just over Mass border.
http://www.winyradio.com/heres-whats-happening/
Show listed half way down to page.
This is an annual event my son Chris (who lives in CT) has been to couple times and says it's a great car show.
Like the upcoming "cruz downtown Manchester" show, Putnam closes their main street to just show cars.

Easy to get to, 495, 290, turns into 395, there...

I'm gonna go this year and take my '67 vert.
Just thought I'd pass along.
Show also list in part from this link too:

Bruce since my son lives 20 min south of there in Plainfield, I'll be coming up from his house. Trailer it down Sat, drive to show.He's excited because he's gonna take his '90 LX 5.0 notch out. A car that was recently listed as future "very collectable". Hasn't taken it out in couple years. He said if weather good, be a great show to see all kinds of different cars.

Jay and I are seriously thinking about going to this. Anyone else want to come along? It seems like they regularly get 2000+ cars at this and there's no registration fee. Weather looks a bit iffy at the moment, but it's still 5 days off...

If scattered showers hold off until night time, I'm going with son Chris. He said lots of shows also around the area. I like seeing diff collection of cars. Mine is cleaned, ready to go.
If weather a no go, rain date following Sunday 8/21

My brother in-law Art and his son may go with his '67 Shelby

I wish weather forecast was just saying 100% rain. Then we don't have a wait and see.. I'd go rain date of next week if need be.. I need to plan starting from Sat as I'd be trailering to my son's
