Some news and some shows

The upcoming First Annual KJM Car Show now officially has a DJ. Dave Larcom has agreed to be the audio presence of our show coming up on August 16th.

Dave is a radio professional who just happens to own and operate the only radiator and exhaust shop I will go to. Dave can be heard on weekends on KRWC 1360 AM out of Buffalo. If you want to get a quote for a job, stop by DL's Radiator and Exhaust in Buffalo, just west of 25 on 55.

Thanks Dave for fitting us in!

I made it to a few shows this past week.

Last weekend, I hit the Back to the 50s. It was too busy--like it usually is. The road construction in the area doesn't help much either. There were about 12,000 cars, and I was able to see about half of them before they all took off into the sunset.

Here are two cool paint jobs--great ideas...




I actually saw the zebra truck in Rogers a week after I saw it at the show.

I made it to the Becker car show yesterday, and the Rockin' Rogers show, too. These two were their first annual shows. This summer seems to be the summer for first annual shows, doesn't it?

More info to come soon

Yes, you heard it here first. There was a planning meeting earlier today to work out all the details for the first annual KJM Carshow.

Soon, many of you will be asked to help out with an aspect of the events of that day itself: prepare yourself.

Here is a pic of the car show flyer:



ANyway, I spent the last several weeks finishing up one school year and starting another summer program. I also hit a few shows" the All-Ford show at the St. Paul Ford Plant and the first annual show at Chico's in Becker. They were well attended and had some great examples of classic muscle you just don't see much anymore.

I have two more weeks of summer school, then the another new baby, then start teaching night school.

After another party we are hosting out of our garage this coming weekend, I will be finishing the insides and get off and running on getting the '85 GT back on the street.

On a side note, I was contacted about a show coming up in Hamburg sometime later this month. I will be looking for more details, and they will be added to the events above when I confirm this.

The day of decision

No, I'm not referring to the upcoming election in November; I am referring to the choices you have in going to car shows today.

WHere will you be going? After yesterday's bad weather and hail shut down most of the cruisers hopes and dreams for Anoka, one can go to the all-Ford Apple Valley show or the Ford Plant show today.

I haven't decided where I will be yet, but if you see me, say hello.

Speaking of hail:

((imagine a pic of hail pelting my lawn here--blogger gets on my nerves sometimes))

Well, there you have it,
