Thanks for such a great show, I've been many years and I'm amazed how well you always handle everything. The bike to direct traffic is such a great idea...

Here are some show and camping results.

The pre-show gathering in Salem was windy Thursday, windy and wet Friday, and improved on Sat. We had 5 campers on Thursday, 18 on Friday and 29 on Saturday. The payoff for the rough weather came quickly though, Sunday was a fabulous weather day.

We 214 registered show cars on Sunday, a record turn-out by at least 20 vehicles! I apologize if you got blocked in during the show. I did my best to keep some aisles, but the VWs just kept coming and coming all day long.
