So I was looking at some pics of my car and came across the Wings and Wheels pics. I was thinking it might be a cool idea to get a bunch printed up of the P-51 and my car and the residents can grab one if they want. What do you think? This isn't the one that I was thinking, but its an example.

Nice idea, Todd! It sounds like Jibber is going, and I expect to be there. All of us were at W&W and perhaps we could all do it. Or if you want to keep this for yourself, no problem, just "thinking out loud".

Weather looks like it's taking a turn for the worse for tonight. Anyone know how to find out if this is still on?

So I will not be joining the cruise up to the show. I will be coming from Gilford. I have to pick Jen up (we'll have the two cars up there that weekend).
What time does the show start and people are going to show? Maybe I can meet up with people at the end of the highway ramp or something.

Say what? Is there going to be a meet-up for this? When/where?

[chachee52]

So is anyone else going now and want to meet up to drive in together? Like I said, I will be in Gilford so will meet you at the exit some where. Not quite sure where it is but looks like you get off at exit 20 (but I swear that I saw signs at 19 last time I went up). I would say meet at the market Basket but I don't want to get in the way of the protesters.

Just got back from the show. Wasn't huge due to storms all around the show site but none of them hit the show while the show was going on. I had to wait a couple minutes at my place due to a pretty strong cell that went by, but just up the road was perfectly dry.
I think only about 35 cars showed up because of it.
For those of us that REMEMBERED to go, it was fun. I would definitely put this on my must go to shows just to see the joy of the vets looking at the cars.
Got home just in time to watch the space station fly by too. Cleared up to watch it float over the lake. So good night all around!

Couldn't have said it better. This is my first time there and I will make sure it's on my calendar next year and into the future. These guys (and gals!) who served our country are mostly bound to wheelchairs and they are just so grateful to have the show brought to them. The smiles on their faces and in their eyes is just grand. And it's so little to give back to them for what they gave. It also gives us a chance to personally thank them for their contribution. It certainly brings to mind the saying, "Some gave all, all gave some."
