The main reason we continue to return to FunFest is seeing old friends and meeting new ones.  We had a great time visiting with people last night and today, but it just doesn't seem the same.

I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

To bad they put the C3VR tent out of they way..I noticed for many things getting people involved is difficult..dare I say the lack of funds and time for many of us have left the car parked in the garage for most of the summer..I know for me I am working more to keep things up just to make what I did last year..hopefully things pick up and the economy turns back on!! That would be one heck of a drive for me..but who knows what will happen next year! Rich

My first parade at Carlisle 2010

It is different buddy....   Wish I could have seen you all but I have seen enough there to get my belly full of that place lately...

I got that impression when I was talking with them to ask about our tent.  It sounded like it was going to be in a different spot.  What else was around our tent?  Anyone snap any pics?

I forgot to get a picture of where the tent was this year, but on Friday, I got a picture of where it had been in past years, and that space was empty (I'll post soon).  We talked briefly to Mike and he said that on Saturday, we'd have lots more activity when club parking started to fill in.

We were on the far East end of the the grounds next to the club parking area. If you didn't park in the club parking area there was no reason to walk all the way to the East end.

I came by for a little while Thursday afternoon, it breaks my heart to go up there anymore. It seemsthe place has gone straight to hell as far as customers are concerned. It seems that someone found a spotlight and microphone , made some really bad decisions on employees and got a littl greedy. two years ago, ask anyone and they would tell you it was one big happy family there, customer first. Now they are afraid to be seen talking to anyone over a minute or so from fear that they will be the next person fired... Lots of hush hush when someone leaves there. Just to tell you the amount of turnover, I don't know half the people there from a year ago..

I hope that those who attended had a nice time... Mrs. Tux... and I received a text on Friday night sometime from some of the old gang. That was very thoughtful and moooch appreciated!

Next year we may return to the old MAM Stomping Grounds for a day or so of fun with friends. We miss the Midwest Gang, the friendships made and the fun times we had.

Who knows.... there may be something in the works for a SPRING Get-Two-Getter.... (as Jed wud say)

I stopped by here hoping to see a few more photos of some smiling familiar faces....

Hey Tux.....Good to hear from you, and yes you were missed.  But that gave us the opportunity to talk
about you.  You know that is one of the dangers of not showing up.  Had a good group there, I think about
14 for dinner Fri. nite. 
Congrats to Jon for the Celebrity Choice Award on his 82 CE.  I enjoyed meeting and visiting with Jon and his
Dad Jon (or is it John)?  Now there is a guy that knows his C3s.  I'm sure you have seen the picture on FB.
