Saturday/Sunday

Saturday was a beautiful day. We arrived at the fairgrounds about 8AM, we had "special parking" with the cruisers that drove over 300 miles. I checked out the swap meet, the pros pick area, some terrific cars there, millions of dollars worth. I also spent some time in the big vendor building.
Saturday night we went to Columbus Fish Market, a wonderful place to eat dinner. We have been going there for years. My good friend Jake and his wife Pearl, Jake's brother and wife, and the four Ruh's and Lonnie and his wife Michelle from Iowa, we had a great time and a great meal.
We went back to the fairgrounds Sunday morning about 9AM. Another nice day. Doris Johnson won a juke box in the women's world drawing. Congrats Doris! We had to figure out how that was going to get home. Luckily friend Tom Wahl was there with his truck. We loaded it on a golf cart and went off to find Tom's truck. He was in the parade to the awards ceremony so could not guide us there. (He won a top 10 pick.) Can you imagine how many white Chevy trucks and white trailers are parked in the trailer lot?? Well we did find it loaded it into the truck and then we all took off for the start of the trip home.
Tonight we are in Lafayette, IN. We always stay there and have dinner at Cactus Jacks, another Columbus trip tradition. It was only 240 miles here.
tomorrow we will head to Madison, WI. The women are planning some shopping along the way. It will be a short 300 or so miles.
